      I joined Fit for less on May 14, 2024. I had the regular membership. I changed my bank on July 17, 2024, from where my payments were being taken. I informed fit for less for that change will occur about 3-4 days before it happened so they can update my banking information. I was informed it was fixed. Nothing was absolutely done and I received an email for getting *** charge due to account closure when I reached out to the gym and the manager Carry said she will get this fixed and updated my banking information. She herself confirmed her system is changed and the staff is new and untrained so this was absolutely possible to happen and has happened with multiple people. Nothing was fixed I ended up cancelling my membership and I asked for a payment receipt on September 9th, 2024. No response was given to me. I reached out to the gym in person I was told it will take in total of 15 business days. Nothing was actioned I reclaimed for the receipt, no action again. I left my review on their ****** maps. I was told to reach out via social media which is the biggest red flag. What kind of a business ask to reach out on social media. Scammers!!!!! I reached out on to their instagram page on Movember 4, 2024 for asking about the payment receipt and also explained my whole story of why asking here. But I got one response saying get it online. Like if could get it online why would I reach out to you, read my whole question. But no response was given to me at all. All I want is my payment receipt and not this mental depression I have been given by these people. Their manager literally yelled at me over the phone I wish they have it recorded as I want to get a lawyer involved if this will not get resolved. Im not backing off at this point.

      Been with Fit4Less a few years. Moved to an Oshawa address so started to use the location there. Didnt like the location due to some really odd characters working out there. Taking off their shirts while doing their workouts when staff were present. Nothing being done about it. Place is a mess. Some of them are crazy and staff allow anyone to join. Cancelled my subscription using the self service kiosk around my anniversary date. Still have a brand new yearly subscription charge (please refund!) and got another charge today for my regular payment. I cancelled a few weeks ago. I understand the club says they need 30 days notice but the $65 yearly fee is a money grab. Im no longer a member. I expected an automatic refund of this fee. As my account is yearly fee + monthly billing.

      Company continues to take money from my account. No refund of yearly fee at this time. It appears others with similar complaints were returned their yearly fee looking at other complaints re Fit4less situations similar to my own.

      I signed up for a membership on the 31st of August. For the past two days the fit4less kiosk to get a membership card has been broken due to a system outage. Today I went during staff hours and tried to get my card at your **************** location in ***********. Your employee told me that he can't give me a card because of the outage. I asked him how long it would be until I got my card and he said I don't know. He then suggested I wait till Monday. I told him I'm following a specific plan which means I can't skip a workout. He said Ill give you one guest pass, but that would only let me workout today and give me no access till Monday. I asked for another but he refused. Finally I said, will you be able to give me just one more so I can do the two required workouts until Monday or do I need a find another gym. He said this is the system and that no manager is available to help me. I said is this not affecting a lot of people to which he said "we currently have no solution". Ultimately he canceled by membership. The employee was extremely rude throughout the interaction and made it painfully obvious that I was inconveniencing him (all I wanted was my card, which I paid for already)

      Tried canceling my membership for 3 months and keep getting charged every month for fees. Just called again today and was told it takes a month to cancel. Again told I would receive an email to acknowledge the cancelation. This time I got the employees name and will be disputing the charges with my bank if any further money is deducted. Employee was great, he did apologize for the inconvenience and made sure to give his name however I am doubtful I will not be charged again. Beware when signing up for this gym that canceling is a nightmare. Alot of reports with this issue from members posting online.

      Transaction of CAD $13.55 was made on August 28th, 2024 to Fit4Less Canada(Goodlife)I had cancelled my membership over a year ago. They do this once every two weeks. The business has not resolved this of course, and they have a history of such practice.

      I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding a serious incident that occurred at ****** on July 9th, 2024. This incident has left me questioning the security and professionalism of the gyms staff, and I believe it requires immediate attention from upper management.After finishing my workout, I returned to the locker room only to find my padlock broken. Understandably alarmed, I went to the front desk to report the incident. I was informed by an employee that another employee named ***** had broken open my locker because another customer mistakenly thought it was his. The customer, who had a similar padlock, was unable to open his locker and assumed mine was his. *****, upon discovering the mistake, left my locker open with my belongings inside, creating a significant breach of security.While I appreciate the misunderstanding, I am extremely disappointed with the response I received from the gyms management. Despite my request for a replacement 4-digit password locker, I was informed today that, the gym manager, ******, would not provide a new lock or offer any form of compensation for the broken padlock. Additionally, the customer who caused damage to my property has refused to compensate for my loss.This incident has not only inconvenienced me but also made me feel that my personal belongings are not safe at your facility. The handling of this situation by the gym staff was inadequate and unprofessional. I strongly believe that the gym should take responsibility for the actions of its employees.I request that the gym provide a replacement lock immediately and compensate for any inconvenience caused. Additionally, I urge you to review your policies and staff training procedures to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.I hope that this matter can be resolved promptly and satisfactorily. I look forward to your response and a swift resolution to this issue.Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Personal Belongings Removal To Whom It May Concern,I am writing to file a formal complaint against Fit 4 Less located at ************************************************. My household consists of three members who hold Fit 4 Less memberships, including a black card. Our ID numbers are as follows: ***************** (F4L002634497), ***************************** (F4L002634496), and *********************************** (F4L002551218).According to Fit 4 Less' stated conditions, outside shoes are not permitted in the gym area. We complied with this policy by storing our gym shoes in the locker provided. Regrettably, due to health issues, we were unable to visit the gym for two days. When we finally returned, we discovered that our personal belongings had been removed from the locker, despite being secured with a lock. Despite seeking assistance from the staff and thoroughly checking the designated area for misplaced belongings, we were unable to locate our shoes. It is essential to note that we use branded shoes for our safety and comfort during our workouts. We find it wholly unacceptable that our items were removed without any prior notice. Even if removal is deemed necessary, Fit 4 Less must place or rearrange the removed items to ensure they are kept safe for at least 30 days. Fit 4 Less is a reputable brand, correct? This incident has caused us significant inconvenience, and we expect swift action to address it. We demand a clear explanation for the mishandling of our personal belongings and seek compensation for the cost of the missing footwear. Additionally, we urge Fit 4 Less to thoroughly review its procedures regarding the removal and storage of members' belongings to prevent similar occurrences in the future.We anticipate a swift and satisfactory resolution to this issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter.Sincerely,***************************** ****************************

      My annual membership got renewed without my approval, and I got charged for annual fee. I was to cancel my membership in a month, which I did, but it was after I got charged for the annual fee of 60 dollars, and my request for refund was rejected by the staff at the gym. Had I been asked to renew my contract, I would have definitely cancelled my membership at that point. I request to get the annual fee refunded.

      May 23 at roughly 2:30pm I called the depot fit4less location and nobody answered the phone. I called 3 times there was no answer. I wanted to ask if tanning was available. When I got there the staff were all in the staff room eating. When I asked to go tanning they said no tanning until 5pm because they were having a team meeting. Thats a huge inconvenience and they didnt let anyone know before hand. The services at the gym are suppose to be available to us and its very unprofessional to just put up a sign and then refuse a service. Thanks
