Private Workout
Ripoff fraudulently charges your bank account practices bait & switch with contracts then will not allow you to cancel

Sports

Private Workout advertises in newspapers, magazines and their website that you can join with a 60-day program and/or a 30-day program.

Once you visit their facility they will not allow you sign up for those programs, rather, they ram-rod the consumer into signing a contract. They advise you that you cannot possibly get into shape in 30 or 60 days, that you need a more comprehensive program.

They then ask you if you would like to join for a year or if you would rather have a "goal" membership.in other words, once you've met your goal you are no longer obligated and may cancel with no penalty.

They allow the consumer to read the contract, then ask you to sign it if you agree. After you have signed the contract they hand-write information onto the contract in script that is completely illegible. When asked what they had written on the contract they responded that they had given a complimentary membership to the tanning salon they own that is down the way from the gym.

After completing more than a year of membership the consumer is unable to cancel the program, they refuse to stop billing you even though you have canceled.

Additionally, at the time of initiating the contract Private Workout was given a credit/debit card number to utilize for payment processing. Somehow they were able to get the consumer's checking account number and begin debited directly from the checking account without utilizing the credit/debit card.

There needs to be a regulatory agency that polices the healthclub industry. These people are completely unscrupulous and they will do anything they can to continue to drain money from you, even if you have no intention of ever going into their facilty again.
