      Hello Fit4Less,

      My friend and I joined the club near our workplace at the same time, so we both got charged the annual fee this same week. Unfortunately, he and I he felt the club wasn't exactly providing a good and consistent level of service we were paying for - constant broken down machines, constant empty paper towels dispensers, constant empty spray bottles...

      So naturally, he made a complaint at the front desk and the associate didn't flinch... until he had to make a commotion about one of the machines being broken down in front of other customers. Then the associate said he'll refund him.

      Seems reasonable, so I went later that evening. Minus the commotion - I will be polite.

      I first inquired about getting a discount or refund. Something. Anything. The associate said that he's never heard of this happening, and he would feel dumb to write an email to the head office for this.

      I then mentioned that the broken machines weren't being fixed, and the reply was that yes, but they will be in a few weeks. I said that that's long time, and was told that yes it's a long time because it's a discount gym. If I don't like it, I can pay more and go to LA Fitness. Or to another Fit4Less.

      Seriously?

      When I mentioned there are other machines broken as well, I was told I could use other workouts to target the same muscle groups. Yes sure, then why is the machine there then?

      I was told that he can't help me then cause *it's me and my character*.

      WOW.

      I didn't even mention that during summer, I got locked inside a change room for over 20 minutes, and no one answered my phone calls at the front desk. I could hear the phone from inside the change room just ringing!

      Unbelievable.

      I'm seriously offended. I love convenience of the location and love working out, but this has left a seriously sour taste in my mouth. I don't want to cause a commotion but I feel like I'm going to need to in order to make this fair for me.


      Thanks for taking your time reading my rant,
      ********

      My gym membership ended at fit4less in February, 2020. I just realized now that fit4less has been debiting my account for $12.42 all this time. This amounts to 36 months of $12.42 being debited from my account...total amount is $447.12. I am expecting to be given this money back.

      what are my next steps.
