Avoid this gym at all costs if you want to keep your valuables safe and do not stand for being treated like dirt. There is an ACTIVE thief on the loose in the gym and the gym has done NOTHING to remedy this problem. The gym's locker at which I was storing my valuables was broken into and my phone, wallet, car keys, etc. were all stolen. That night, after being in disarray and shock, the first thing the general manager of the gym, Jeannie Sidibe, does is being pushing the company line that they were not liable for the stolen items. She informed me that there was ONE guest who was checked in that night with her ID and information logged. A month passed after the incident and not ONCE did Jeannie or anyone from management call and attempt to quell my fears of security for myself and fellow gym members. The gym took NO measures to beef up security, nor did they undertake any investigation themselves. They washed their hands of any liability and can care less about their members. The ONLY phone call I received was from their financial department requesting I update my credit card information as the stolen credit card was still on file. They even had the nerve to initially charge a late fee, which they "graciously" removed.
After numerous phone calls to Jeannie and multiple messages left via voicemail and via written messages through the front desk individuals, I had to initiate the meeting by approaching her at the office. She berated me for emailing her and copying all the general managers at Total Woman gym due to her non-responsiveness. Her story regarding the theft incident also changed. She now said there were THREE guests, not one. Jeannie provided no details or evidence, but tried to make it seem like the current members were not involved in order to not spook people from cancelling their memberships. The disturbing part of her new story is she mentioned that guests don't actually check in and provide information, but rather pay and are allowed in. I was mortified. This gym actively promotes individuals off the street to come in and not register, steal people's possessions, and leave without any trace. I have lost close to $2,000 due to my phone, car key replacement, cash, watch, driver's license replacement, etc. which was stolen at the gym.
Management does not care a lick about you and won't think twice to kick you to the curb during a traumatic experience that occurred at their gym. They are cold, curt and only care when their personal reputation in front of fellow general managers is threatened. Cannot speak for other locations, but stay far away from the Study City location.
