WARNING- FRAUDULENT CHARGES!
This gym is fine. I decided I wanted to try CrossFit,and this gym was close to my apartment so I decided to give it a try. I went for their new member special- 5 weeks. At the end of the 5 weeks, I decided that CrossFit wasn't my thing, and decided not to continue. I actually liked the coaches and thought the gym itself was nice. Fast forward to January, I realized my card was charged $337.67 for the month of December, and $337.67 for January. Not only were these charges MUCH greater than what was discussed previously, I had not been utilizing the gym at all this entire time.
I decided to reach out to the owner, Izzy. I emailed him at the end of January as his associate recommended doing. The person on the phone told me, "he's always on his email, he will get right back to you"... crickets.
I emailed him again on February 7th, and again on February 15th.... no response.
At this point, I had called the gym a few times, as well just trying to get in touch with the owner, I think I left about 2 voicemails without any responses.
So then last week, I called the gym, only to realize, my phone number had been blocked! This seemed so insanely crazy to me, I actually went to the gym physically and asked the receptionist if there was a problem with their phones, only to find out, it was true, Izzy blocked my number from calling.
Today, a week later, I made another attempt to go to the gym because I knew Izzy was usually there on Wednesdays. When I arrived, there was a sign on the door to call him if you wanted to enter the gym. I called, told him my name, and he gave me the code to open the door, only, he made up a code that did not work. This man has gone to great lengths to NOT talk to me, when it would've been SO much easier for him to just have a quick conversation with me about the charges.
At this point, I don't even care about the money, I care about the fact that this business owner has gone to great lengths to purposely ignore a customer. Do yourself a favor, and choose not to do business with someone who lacks enough respect, assertiveness, and confidence to have simple customer service interactions.
