So this has been my experience with YouFit....
I went in to check it out because my roommate had just signed up and seemed really excited. Gordon (manager) walked me around, gave me the tour, answered all of my questions. It was great. I signed up for the mid level membership (around $19). I also signed up for their special on four trainer sessions for $120.
The next day, August 3rd, I come in and speak with Hollie (manager) for my assessment. He does his spiel, explains how it all works with the trainer. And I sign up for the once a month sessions for 3 months. It's $160 a month, but he charges me only $40 that day, and the remaining $120 is supposed to come out on the 17th. As we're getting ready to leave Michaela is passing by on her way out and he had us meet, as she'll be my trainer. He then ropes her into finishing my set up and helping out my roommate who's in for assessment and measurements that night, before rushing out the door himself. But he doesn't explain that she's coming in that night. And no one explains to my waiting roommate that the guy she was waiting for was no longer with the company. I saw her at the desk so waved her in. We all talked with Michaela for a bit and figured out what times we each would be coming in.
That Monday I get a call from Hollie explaining there was an error on my contract, I tell him I'll be in that night for my session. Told him the time. He said he'd be there but had already left for the day. Next session I finally get a hold of him. He is leaving again so Gordon ends up helping me. We had to wait a bit for BK (district manager) to be available and help with the changes. Turns out my contract was set up to charge me $120/session instead of just on the 17th then going on to the regular amount $160. I explain what had happened. Was told by the end of it I wouldn't be overcharged that $40. Sign. Good to go.
Just to be safe I kept an eye on it. Sure enough on 8/18 (friday) I get charged $160, so overcharged by $40. I immediately call and talk to Hollie, he keeps pushing me to just have them credit it to me instead of refunding me. With me having a big move coming up and all sorts of wedding stuff (maid of honor) I would much rather have the refund. He says he'll take care of it.
Over the weekend I hear nothing back, so I decide to talk to Gordon after my session, 8/21 - Monday. I tell him what's going on, he's apparently the only one that can do refunds. He hasn't heard anything about it. We talk about it, he looks through everything. Swipes my card and tells me that it will be 7-10 days before it goes through, but if I had done it the day it was charged it would have gone through the same day.
9/7, a Thursday, after my session I talk to BK. Still haven't had my refund. We go back and forth about it and he tries to debate with me about if I'm owed the money or not. I show him my bank account and everything. He then looks back through the notes on my account and sees that a refund was initiated. And that on 8/23, 2 days after I spoke with Gordon, the refund was canceled with a note saying they would handle it in house. Not a single email, call, text, nothing about how this was supposed to be handled in house. Not a single person told me I would not be receiving that refund. I had even called up there at least twice trying to greet a hold of someone who could help and was put on hold while I was trying to ask a question.
BK said he had a phone call with Gordon the next day at 11am, that he would ask him about the refund and call me that day to let me know what's going on.
Not only, a week later, have I not received a call, I haven't even been able to get a hold of someone. I've even contacted corporate over a week ago, and no response.
I'm done. I absolutely love Michaela. I think she's a fantastic trainer, she's funny and has a great attitude. She's a great cheerleader and motivator without being overly perky. But I can't justify giving any more money to a company who talks big to your face, but does absolutely nothing to help you when they mess up.
