In Feb, before my due date, I was finally able to get my account frozen and did so over the phone. March 1st I called to see about getting it done again. I was told a message would be left for the General Manager and he should be getting back with me the next day.
3-2-18, I hadn't heard from the GM so I called. I was told he, the GM, was about to leave in 30 minutes. I rushed out and went to Gold's Gym to ask the GM what I could do to maybe get my account frozen for a month or 2. As i was sitting and waiting the GM comes out and starts speaking to somebody else and they go into his office. I spoke to a guy named Taylor, did a great job btw or so i thought at the time. I was informed I was on a month-to-month contract and could cancel it without having to pay anything because nothing was owed. Now i remind you that for a long time i was told i could not cancel and i could not freeze the account. So, okay, he dbl checks with GM and comes back with good news, I can cancel. So, I cancelled my membership. I have to feed my family and pay insurance, Tri-care Insurance. Well, here it is 3-5-18, and guess what... Look at the bank account and 3 separate charges have come out for Gold's Gym. Go figure. So, I called Gold's Gym and spoke to the GM. All he could tell me is they submitted the request and that's all it is, a request. If I haven't heard anything back in 48 hrs to call back. I should be given the refund and it should refund automatically. He also said they have a 30 day cancellation policy. Where was that mentioned BEFORE I cancelled it??? Well, now we have no $ for the insurance and not so much food right now. This is so ridiculous. We pd every month and didn't even go to the gym, kept being told I couldn't cancel, then finally I was told I could cancel anytime. I think Gold's should be ashamed of themselves for taking money from a family who wasn't using the facility(ies), and kept being told no about cancelling. Those funds for the last 5 months should ALL be refunded along with what was just taken out. I rate this ZERO stars. My family and I will not do business ever again with Gold's Gym. By the way, the GM was still in his office when i left, making him there longer than the 30 minutes I was told before leaving to speak to him.
So, we signed up being told that my wife and son's membership along with Kid's Club would be waived til October, but my membership would come on the 15th. Well, so not true. Well, Gold's Gym took out $43 and change 3 times on the 15th of Oct and now again today. I'm so not happy with being told one thing and it not being true. Can't stand to be misinformed. Anyway, I would like nothing more than to give this membership up especially since we only went 2x in Sept. It's so not worth the trouble. As for the military price, well, it's even more from what was explained. I think I could find a gym at Tinker with no cost to military. I only signed up because all my son talked about was working out at Gold's Gym. It was for his birthday and I'd feel really guilty to cancel it.
So, today 1Nov2017, I call to find out what to do to freeze or suspend the membership. Apparently having a year membership we can't cancel it. To freeze the membership it's $15 per month. We haven't been in 2 months. This is ridiculous. The point of having a membership is to go. When you don't go enough, it's not worth the price. Then when I asked if there was a customer service number the response I got was, "I don't know." What the heck... This membership will be no more after the year. I'll be looking for a different gym. Thanks for nothing Gold's Gym. I am very disappointed.
