After slight apprehension regarding a 2 year contract, I joined Club Fitness in Carrollton in early with my husband. I asked the sales manager to discuss ALL the fine print with me BEFORE I signed. I would soon come to discover that what the contract STATES and what it actually intended to MEAN are completely different... And the club would go to extreme measures to collect on the contract.
First, I was subjected to sexual harrassment from the sales manager during the months I was at the gym. He did this while knowing I was married and in the presence of my 12 year old daughter. Never physically touching me, he did make passes and crude comments every time he saw me. I told him to back off on many occasions. Additionally, everything I requested was denied. Could my daughter walk a treadmill under my supervision? NO. Could I add my brother to my membership? NO. Could I use ankle weights from the pool area? NO. I'm getting a divorce. Could I drop my husband, or could I use his charges for another feature at the club? NO. OK, fine, I want to cancel the membership. No... Only if I pay out the entire contract PLUS one year. WHAT?!?!?!?
I am currently battling the collection agency that insists on quadrupling the original contract amount for "late fees and collection fees", or they will pursue a law suit against me, in which I am required to pay the Club Fitness' legal, attorney, and court fees, as well as my own.
Sound like a contract you want to be bound to? Want to be harrassed? No. I strongly advise any and every one to stay clear of Club Fitness unless they make MAJOR changes from the ground up.
