I am a 25 year old student who at the start of the New Year wanted to get back in shape. I enlisted the assistance of a TD MIller who "claimed" to be a personal trainer he had the talk the before and after photos and a plan worked out that was supposed to be one one one training. I decided to give him a shot because he seemed dedicated and helpful he advised me that the cost for a 5 week program was 250.00 i gave him a check the next day there was no contract signed or anything.
When I finally got to the Gym where his scam ring is located AC 24 hour fitness in Greensboro NC he pushed me off on some other guy. I was under the assumpstion that it would be one on one personal training. He expalined that situation to me and I was fine with it he then advised me that I did not have to be a member of that gym and the times that I should come to avoid management. Because they did not know he had his own personal training business on the side operating out of thier gym.
Well a unfortuante series of events occured in my life my mother had a heart attack and in turn I had to be with her I am her only child and she is single in turn I lost my job because I just started it in December and was not eligible for fmla. I callled td to let him know my situation and he was all apologetic and was like call me when you get yourself togeher. It is now March 4th I called this man's cell phone and the gym and left messages for him for the past three weeks. No call back he finally called ne back at 8pm this evening I advise him that I was ready to start my program back and asked when I could schedule a time to the gym he then advised me that I would have to pay him again because it was only a five week program I then told him that I only came one time and asked him if he thought he was treating me fairly he said he was a business man and stated "I dare you to take me to court"
All I wanted to do was get in shape I did not ask for this frustration I either would like a prorated portion of my money back so I can join another gym or I will have to file a claim against him and the 24 hour fitness franchise. He is not a certified trainer, (I just found this out) he is operating a illigitimate business under false pretenses and I do not even know if the operations manager at the gym knows what he is doing he is losingmoney for that gym and I do not want to let him get away with trying to rip me off please someone help me.
