To the Owners and Management at Evolution Fitness,
As promised, here is your bad review:
Good class times which is why I joined however most of the trainers do not have a full command of English language nor do they conduct their classes in English mostly in Portuguese maybe at times in Spanish. Also their cardio equipment need repair/replacement especially the stair masters and treadmills. The duck tape repairs make the equipment seem unsafe.
Disclaimer: BE CAREFUL what contract you sign with these people, they have you sign a "special" that has what I found to be a confusing cancellation policy.
My process of cancellation took two weeks from beginning to end because I kept being told someone would get back to me and no one did. I had to keep calling and the mangers were often too busy to answer the phone and the people attending the call would only suggest to me to all back instead of taking down my info.
To sum it up they kept repeating that the cancellation fee was in the contract, OK got it, but I'm cancelling because I'm moving and I CANNOT attend.. that should be taken into consideration, at least reduce the cancellation fee or something? ...Nope!
Question: How does the monthly fee of $32 and a cancellation fee of $300 correlate? That's a huge leap (almost 10 times the monthly fee).
The customer service in my time there has been mediocre at best, everyone has attitudes and walks around entitled in that place. I don't get it and I don't recommend and I will not be back nor tell my friends and family in Newark to join or rejoin Evolution.
To the owners of Evolution please read my suggestion:
Educate yourself on how to write contracts or have a native English speaking professional write them for you. Take courses on customer service and management as it has been less than mediocre and please follow through with customer satisfaction (my request for a reduction in the cancellation fee considering my move would have went a long way with me).
Good day to you.
