Beware of the Body of Change trainers working at the following Summit County, Ohio ASF Fitworks locations: Fitworks Chapel Hill, 1944 Buchholzer Blvd., Akron, OH 44310 (330-630-3861) & Fitworks Stow-Kent, 4301 Kent Rd. Unit 26, Stow, OH 44224 (330-688-0862).
The Akron & Stow-Kent Fitworks Fitness Centers truly do a disservice to their members by subcontracting to & bringing in trainers from Body of Change. Fitworks members shouldn't have to feel like they need to change their usual workout times & clubs in order to avoid facing high pressure solicitation from Body of Change Trainers.
After working out at the Fitworks in Akron, OH for nearly 3 years, I was recently targeted by Body of Change Trainer Frederick Mills. He learned quickly that I wasn't appeased with his overly flirtatious ways, yet he continued to follow me around the gym to correct my technique with using the equipment. Despite women reporting Fred to BOC General Manager Michael Gentile, Fred continued to lay it on heavy with the women.
A Fitworks member, who is a parole officer, former correctional officer in a local prison, informed one of the women to be careful with Fred. He told her Fred Mills is a multi-felony holder, on parole with Oriana House, and she should not relinquish her credit card information with him nor leave her child with him. Fitworks have playland areas for children while the parent (s) work out.
I chose to avoid Fred Mills by changing club locations. I discontinued with the Akron Fitworks and drove the extra distance of a few cities away to workout at the Stow-Kent, OH Fitworks. A few weeks later, Frederick Mills appeared at the Stow-Kent Fitworks as the new BOC General Manager. Since he is now the general manager at the Stow-Kent Fitworks, I will be changing club locations once again. I am unable to discontinue membership with Fitworks because I am under contract.
Fitworks needs to bring in legitimate, competent personal trainers; Body of Change trainers are destroying the image of the clubs. The clubs didn't have drug & theft problems until the Body of Change trainers were brought in. I'm sure the club can find buff trainers that haven't spent years perfecting their weight lifting techniques in their cells from behind bars.
