Gold's Gym
Golds gym harassing texts, staff, continued to charge after cancel, scam artists

I was a member of golds gym for about 4 months, during this time period i was harassed nonstop by staff with offers of personal training. I was very uncomfortable each time i was visiting, the employees were like vultures trying to get me to sign up for something or offer me a package for personal training. I told them upon joining i was not interested, yet they would approach me almost every time offering packages or discounts on training.

After telling them i was NOT interested they continued to call my home and cell phone numbers, and text me months after "cancelling" my membership. I was receiving mysterious phone calls/texts from the with port st lucie/orlando/fort lauderdale area codes from port st lucie numbers from "personal trainers" offering me discounts on personal training packages.

I got several telemarketing calls from other sketchy businesses unrelated to golds gym ever since joining, which i do not believe is a coincidence. I strongly believe sold my information which makes me uncomfortable as they have my social security and address on the membership application from months ago when i joined.

Each time they text me i usually responded tell them to stop texting me as it costs me money. They have respond back to the texts a few times swearing and using foul language... Other times they just taunt me or not respond. I do not know if they are just desperate for business or this is a GAME to them out of spite. The texts continue, i have since changed my number due to this nonsense. It all seemed like a joke to them.

I had complained to the manager and a few of the employees when i went in, and they said they would "take me off the list" and " address the issue" and give me an apology that seemed all together very insincere.

I just found this website, but had to write this to warn people. They had been charging my credit card 5 months after i cancelled my membership. It was partly my fault as i do not look at my statements in detail but it was also their fault as i clearly CANCELLED MY MEMBERSHIP YET THEY CONTINUED TO CHARGE ME EVEN THOUGH I COMPLAINED TO THE MANAGER OF THE CONTINOUS HARASSMENT AND UNCOMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT.

DO NOT give these people your business, i promise you will regret it. There are plenty of other gyms in the area to give your business to.
