I paid over $250 for a product called "Energize". When it arrived it was smashed all over the box. I sent pictures to the company. They were supposed to send me a reshipment.2 months later. I finally reached the company. They told me to fill out a form requesting either my money back Or the product. Today I received a Decline letter stating "Unfortunately, were unable to approve your exception for 2nd reshipment request. We noticed your 1st shipment order marked delivered on October 29, 2024. We recommend contacting your carrier. As a reminder, this decision is final and there is no additional recourse. Our agents do not have any additional information regarding this decision "So they took my money, won't refund and no way to contact them. This is steeling!Business Response

Ive been charged for two consecutive years after cancelling my subscription to Beachbody. Both charges were disputed through my bank, however Beachbody provided that I had accessed their account with an IP address. Thats the only proof that theyre showing on a redacted form. Heres the current status of what is known/issues Im up against: I was charged in August 2023 and attempted to cancel the account soon after because I realized I no longer used the product, however I dont have email proof of cancellation. I was charged again in August 2024, which came as a surprise because I had remembered cancelling my subscription. Upon accessing the account, I noticed that there is an incorrect address listed to a state Ive never lived in, and a credit card that is not mine (however my card was still charged). I have email proof of cancelling my account the day I was charged again, August 12th 2024. I hadnt opened the email from them letting me know I was due for renewal until this afternoon, November 29th, 2024. After two attempts to get my money back, a credit card listed that is not mine, and an address listed that I have no association with, it feels like poor business practice to not refund a service I have no use.Business Response

Hello *********,
Upon reviewing your account, we have confirmed that on August 12, 2021, you purchased a 645 Shakeology and BOD Challenge Pack. Prior to completing your purchase, you were required to acknowledge the terms and conditions, which explained that your memberships and subscriptions would renew until you cancel.

On September 11, 2021,you contacted customer support via chat support requesting the cancellation of the monthly Shakeology subscription. The Shakeology subscription was cancelled as requested.
Because your annual Beachbody On Demand membership was not cancelled, it auto renewed per the Terms and Conditions that you opted into at enrollment.

I am not happy with their billing practices and I see the same exact canned response to every complaint in regards to billing in here. If you do not cancel the membership before the due date you will NOT get a refund even if its before 30 days after the charge to your account. If this is a new purchase you get 30 days but if you have an existing account its not going to happen. I am pretty sure this is not a legal practice because any purchase in the ************* is supposed to have a refund period and that is a general protection that all consumers in ***************** are privy to. But somehow with these types of subscriptions they do not seem to have the consumer protection as a product that you got into a store make a purchase. I say for people who are looking to purchase this service go to the local Gym, or if you are getting one of the bikes go for ******* they have better customer service than BODI fitness does. I find it interesting that over ***************************************************************************************** court.

I am rejecting this response because:
The account that this dispute is under ***** **** my wife's account *********************** The credit card # is being billed under my credit card which I would just file with them, and let you all deal with them but I am trying to give this company a chance to refund my Credit Card as I tried to do over the phone. I contacted this company well under 30 days after I found out I was billed to settle this charge that was unintentional. 600+ complaints here with the BBB almost all for the same reason may provide grounds to open for a class-action lawsuit for unfair business practices. You are providing a 30 day money back guarantee to new customers but not customers whom are current members and whom are not fully aware that their account is in auto-renewal as the person on the phone explained to me after telling me that the company will not refund me. That could easily be argued as an unfair business practice. Furthermore, the website does not make it clear enough if a customer is even in an auto renewal status. I looked at my account I still can't 'Clearly' tell if this account is active or not. I am asking that my credit card be refunded the $179 that I was changed on 11/4/2024, that I did not authorize regardless if the site put me in Auto-Renewal or not.

Prior to purchasing the membership, you were required to accept the terms and conditions before completing the purchase. The terms and conditions specifically explained that you would be billed annually for the **** membership until cancelled.**** sends a prebill email 30-days prior to the next scheduled renewal. The annual **** prebill email was sent to the email address on file on October 03, 2024. Our records show the email was opened/viewed twice on October 03, 2024. At the time you had the ability to manage your membership prior to the next scheduled renewal.

I am rejecting this response because:
First, I would like to thank you for notifying me that I have a potential security hole in my email that you can read opened messages. I will be investigating that, and I would like to also know where it states in your contact that by reading an email regardless of when its sent, that gives a company a confirmation that a service will be continued or not and had the legal right to bill a client? I o believe that is violates the digital click agreement or the clickwrap agreement, where I have not clicked a box. You all want to keep arguing with your customers, and not offering them a reasonable refund, while you overlook the fact that you are stacking up complaints here in the BBB. If you want to keep arguing that you do not want to issue a refund that you also should understand that we as customer have the right to protest a business and tell others the kind of experience we have all had. At some point, an attorney may pick this up and file a class action against your company. 1) You treat your new customers and your existing customers with two different refund policies. 2) you are indicating that either myself or my wife read an email that entitles your company to bill our account. 3) Your website is NOT clear rather if a customers statis is in a cancelled or active. In summary, your business practices are unfair, unusual and not comparable to other practices in your industry. You treat your existing customers differently and classify them unjustly. I am going to tell you I will keep this claim open, and I am going to consider reaching out to others to unite in a single voice because your customer service is very poor.

Hello **********,
Sorry to hear that you are rejecting our response. Based on your response, its clear that the discrepancy is between the account holder and card owner. Please see the account facts below
During the creation of the account, it was abundantly clear that this was an auto renewing subscription. In fact, the user had to opt-in by checking a box.
There was a secondary box the user checked acknowledging that they read and are agreeing to the terms.
Furthermore, a subscription renewal notice was sent to the account holder ******* prior to the renewal, which we have confirmed was opened/viewed twice on 10/03/24.
The notice contains explicit language that says this subscription will auto renew unless cancelled.
Within the same renewal notice, there is language and hyperlink that links to the manage account page where if someone wanted to cancel, they would.
To clarify and ensure alignment,
BODi has one digital refund policy. A 30-day money back guarantee is provided on initial sign-*** to give the user the opportunity to try our ******************** risk free for the first 30-days. That policy is exhausted at day 31 of the subscription.
Within our application, because the auto renew feature has been turned off (access is active through 11/04/25), there is currently no indication that this is a subscription (technically its no longer a subscription since auto renew has been cancelled. You have paid access through 11/04/25).
We assure you that BODi is within its policy and followed the proper procedures at subscription enrollment and for auto renewal notification. We sincerely apologize for the communication breakdown between the account holder and card owner. This will be our last reply on this matter. We wish you the best on your fitness journey and hope that you all keep BODi in mind to support your fitness needs in the future.
Thank You,

Complaint: 22606719
I am rejecting this response because:
Subject: Formal Rebuttal to Denial of Refund Request
Thank you for your response. While I appreciate the explanation provided, I respectfully reject your decision not to issue a refund. Your practices appear to exhibit unfair business practices and potential violations of consumer protection laws, as outlined below:
Inadequate Transparency Regarding Auto-Renewal
While you claim that the subscription and auto-renewal terms were clear, I believe the implementation falls short of full compliance with consumer protection laws. In many jurisdictions, including ********** (California Auto Renewal Law), businesses must present clear, conspicuous notices about auto-renewal terms, cancellation procedures, and charges. The alleged notice sent on 10/03/24, though viewed, may not have been sufficiently clear or prominent, especially if the cancellation process was not intuitive or straightforward. That seems to be the case with over 600+ complaints that seem very similar reported here with the BBB and your company. Also, in conjunction with the California Auto Renew Law, it is up to BODi to Prove that I clicked that box to auto-approve for affirmative consent. In addition, I observe that the workflow/process on your website during the enrollment process, unfairly auto-checks that box which could be strongly argued that the user did not willfully select the auto renew box. This is clearly an unfair business practice, and not as transparent as you claim or there would not be 600+ complaints for this very matter here at the BBB.
Unfair "No Refund After 30 Days" Policy
Your rigid policy of denying refunds after 30 days, even when the subscription is canceled, unreasonably locks customers into unwanted charges. This practice can be interpreted as an unfair and deceptive business practice, especially since services extend far beyond the renewal date, and no pro-rata refund is offered.
Discrepancy Between Account Holder and Card Owner
Your reliance on the agreement made by the account holder, while the card owner disputes the charge, reflects a failure to verify ownership and ensure proper authorization. This undermines your claim of fair business practices and raises potential legal concerns regarding billing practices.
Limited Communication and Poor Customer Resolution
Your refusal to engage further demonstrates a lack of good faith in resolving this matter. Additionally, stating this will be your last reply does not absolve you of your responsibility to address customer grievances under applicable consumer protection laws.
Potential Legal Non-Compliance
I believe your policies and practices may violate the Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA) and other laws governing subscription services and auto-renewals. Specifically:
Failure to ensure the customers ongoing consent.
Onerous cancellation and refund terms, which deter customers from recovering funds for unused services.
Request for Immediate Resolution
I request a full refund of the subscription amount. Failure to address this matter may result in the following actions:
Filing a formal complaint with the ************************ (***) and my states Attorney Generals Office.
Exploring legal options, including small claims court.
Sharing my experience with the Better Business Bureau and consumer advocacy platforms to alert others to these practices.I am confident that resolving this matter amicably is in both our interests. Please reconsider your position and provide a refund within 10 business days to avoid escalation.
Sincerely,
********** ****

I was auto renewed for a membership I no longer wanted or was using. I do not recall or have been able to find any emails about the upcoming auto renewal. I was able to cancelled the membership but they would not refund the money even though it was only a couple days past the renewal. I filled out an exception form and it was denied. They sent a copy of what they said was a pre bill notice as a reason for the denial. I'm not able to find it in my emails and also from the picture they sent it is very deceiving. It does not resemble a pre-bill at all and a subject line that really doesn't allude to it being a pre-bill. This is a very shady business practice, especially for a $190 charge. It would be different if I was asking for my money months after the fact but it's only been days. Obviously greed is more important than customer service or doing the right thingBusiness Response

On November 20, 2024 I received a charge on my bill for ****** for a subscription to a beach body library. I went to my dashboard and canceled immediately but there was no option for refund. I contacted customer service and the correspondence is below. I have been a loyal customer for a few years now and have ordered products from this company and have each of those receipts which I have never refuted. Beach Body claims they send out emails 30 days in advance to tell their partners and customers that they will incur charges for the yearly subscription. I did not receive that email in inbox, spam nor junk folder. I received the cancellation email immediately so that tells me that I am receiving correspondence with no issues. The last email I received from ** was in April 2024 demonstrating my charges for 21 day reset box I purchased. When I asked the *** when the email was sent they gave me an estimated date but said they could not see to confirm the email that they know it was sent. I then asked them for proof other than their word, as demonstrated from the screenshots of the conversation via text on their customer service. They stated that they were unable to refund me and they did not have the option to "see that record" and that they were "unable to find the exact date". The ***resentative changed the narrative that they did not have access to evidence but suddenly their team a was "able to confirm" the notification was sent and they would send me a confirmation copy. I have yet to receive any confirmation. Their expectation was the customer take their word for it even after I requested to see proof. If every customer was just given an estimated date the company believes a notice was sent out without having to provide proof this is a dangerous precedent for Beach Body legally. If you also notice, in the screenshots, it says "however, it might sent to you on 10/18/2024." Beach Body needs to make this right.Business Response

On November 9, 2024, I was charged $179 for the renewal of my Body streaming service subscription through Beachbody LLC. I did not realize at the time of my initial sign-up that this would be a recurring annual subscription.Immediately upon noticing the charge, at 11:30 AM Eastern on the same day, I contacted beach bodys customer service and spoke with a representative named **** ******. During our conversation, I explained that:1.I had not used the program in some time due to recent medical issues, which make me unable to continue.2.I was unaware the subscription would automatically renew, as I did not see the reminder email that was sent. I later discovered it had gone to my junk folder, which is why I missed it.I requested a refund at that time, given that I acted promptly upon noticing the charge. However, I was informed that the subscription would be canceled but the refund request would likely be declined because it was outside the money-back guarantee period. I later followed up via email as instructed, only to have the refund request denied.I hope Beachbody LLC will consider this situation and issue a refund as a gesture of goodwill and customer care. $179 is no small amount of money. Especially considering inflation, the holidays coming up, and medical expenses. I feel that its messed up that they dont give any thought to someones medical issue and only care about getting paid. I appreciate and look forward to a response.Thank you,******* ******** ************Business Response

I joined BeachBody to get the Skakology, which was very good. However, after 5 months of $145 a month for a bag of protein, I decided I really could not afford it any longer. I contacted the company and said I no longer wanted to be part of it, and they stopped sending me the monthly protein powder. However, today, November 16, 2024, I went online to my credit card and noticed a charge from PPL* ** **** BEACHBODY ************ CA for $******. I was in shock and had no clue what was going on. Upon contacting them, they said I hadn't actually canceled the subscription that I had first signed up for, and it was an automatic renewal after 1 year, and the ****** was the cost of the yearly subscription. When I said I didn't want to renew and could they refund my money, they told me "We can cancel your subscription but we can't refund the $****** as you would have had to do that within 30 days of signing up last year." I then called my ***** and they said they would start a dispute for me, but more than likely, they would end up "eating it," and I would get the money back. I think this is SOOO unfair, as the company then gets away with the ****. I believe a company should at least send out a reminder of an upcoming renewal. Again, I had no idea that I wasn't really "canceled" when I had called to say I no longer wished to receive their product. No they will receive $192 and not give anything for this. Very shady of this company, and I definitely will tell everyone I know not to fall for them.Business Response
