DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM! Total Woman is the WORST gym and will SCAM you. If you like broken machines, overfull classes, dirty equipment, false contracts, and fraudulent charges on your credit card this is the gym for you!
If you cancel your one year contact at the one year point, which I was advised I could by Gita when I signed up, they will forcibly roll you into a month to month contact without your consent even AFTER CANCELING and fraudulently charge your credit card for a yearly account maintenance fee of $69.99, $10 cancellation fee, and 45 days worth of membership charges (a full month plus a prorated amount). I've been on the phone with Ashley, the manager, for days now trying to resolve these issues and she insists that the contract states she has the right to charge me when I've reviewed it several times and she is incorrect. I'm now having to dispute the charges with my bank and it is a nightmare. It is ILLEGAL to charge someone for a gym membership in California when they have not stepped foot in the gym for the period they are being charged.
I chose to cancel my membership this year, at the end of my contact, due to broken machines, unhygienic conditions, poor equipment, and the turnover of all the best group fit teachers. I raised my concerns to management throughout the year to make them aware of the unsatisfactory conditions, but it was to no avail. Thus, after being fed up with the subpar gym, I asked about cancelation procedure and followed all the steps to cancel correctly, at the one year mark, and terminate my contract.
I am appalled at the unethical business practices Total Woman has in place. There is not a corporate number to call either so when you have issues with your account you are forced to keep calling the local gym number and talk to the same manager who has no ability to resolve anything over and over again. You've been warned. Conduct your business elsewhere - there are plenty of great gyms in this area.
