My husband and I are from out of town. Yesterday morning, we called smart gym to ask for the weekly rate. A girl picked up (7:52am) and told us that it would be $20. When we went there at 11am, I walked in and said, "we'd like two one week passes". The girl turned to what seemed like her manager and said, "they're from out of town and want one week passes". The manager said that they don't do one week passes. When we mentioned that we had just called 3 hours prior and received the quote of $20, both of them put up a fight saying no one would have said that. They insisted that the two of them were the only ones that would have answered the phone.
I question how the (non manager) girl knew that we were from out of town, since I never said that when I walked in... Other than the fact that she was probably the one who answered the phone and misquoted us. My husband and I could have made the situation more uncomfortable, but honestly, based on principle, I cannot support an establishment that employs people who lie. I would have accepted if the girl had said that she had made a mistake, but to lie about the whole thing demonstrated poor character and customer service.
To their credit, the manager like person did offer to give us a free one day trial. But again, based on principle, I just couldn't continue to be at that establishment-even if it's free.
