      Unanswered
      November 2021 I signed up for a biweekly membership at $***** and annual sign up of $59. I was given the run around due to not having my second dose of the ***** vaccination. The manager at the Glenora ******** GYMVMT location (has since closed down) was very rude, condescending, unprofessional and didn't offer any means of support other than to ridicule and say no, nor was I offered a early out fee as spoken about by others, the manager simply said no, with no solution or help. I no longer felt welcome, safe or wanted to come back to any of the companies establishments. I was refused, denied, ******** when trying to properly cancel the membership with this gym. I had/have no intention of returning to GYMVMT after this incident, and all of the issues occured before I had the chance to workout at the gym! Yet I'm charged $1000 in collections, meaning GYMVMT 2 years later is messing with my financial goals and adding more unwanted stress once again! I had the stressful and ******** situation to change credit cards, dispute charges and still deal with harassing emails and phone calls from GYMVMT demanding payment? For what? The employees and company's unprofessional service or not holding up to there end of resolving issues? $1000 for what?! The breakdown doesn't make sense, at 26 bi-weekly payments in a year x ***** membership fee =$544.70 plus $59.00 annual fee = $603.70! Was interest being charged for a collection which I had no contact/clue about other than the pleasant threats given to me over the phone by your employees in December of 2021! I am only aware of this collection charge due to inquiring about my own credit score, to my disbelief I found GYMVMT charging me a collection of $1000! The following is the charges I inquired before changing credit card, including the ones disputed:November 15 2021: $***** November 29 2021: $***** (disputed)December 10 2021: $***** (disputed) February 4 2022: $0.01 February 18 2022: $***** (disputed)

      These guys are liars *** ******** ******* me into a "month-to-month" membership and reassured me they were monthly payments. Only to find out from a friend that they are in fact bi-weekly payments and the staff member Shae ****** blatantly lied to my face. Then their "General Manager" Chanceline ******* - who is 4 days on the job - reassures me that her staff member (who she's known for a total of 0 days since she was on vacation during her first few days as GM) is not a liar. Then she sat me down in an office with Shae as if I was supposed to hash it out with this employee who is a liar, and even Shae couldn't deny that she lied and I still wasn't reimbursed my "start up fees". They did reassure me in an email that no payments will be withdrawn (first payment would be tomorrow Oct 13) but after reading numerous reviews, I can see this will be a long drawn out process. **** ***** ** * ****. Stay FAR away people! After reading all their reviews ***** **** *** ***** ******* *** ***** ****** ******** I can see why I am left feeling cheated and lied to.
