AWFUL - Do not recommend. You can walk literally right across the street and go to PureBarre or Ryde which are the same price and a heck of a lot nicer in customer service.
Here was my experience:
I called DEFINE River Oaks last month inquiring about how I could visit to try a class to see if I liked it. I had never been before. I was told they don't offer any free first classes to new members like other gyms, but that there was a *special* deal going on that was ending THAT SAME DAY - a 10-year anniversary deal for $100 for 10 classes. That seemed like a lot for me to spend on something I'd never visited so I was hesitant, but they convinced me it was the best deal they'd ever offered. I signed up that day. This week, I was suddenly notified that my 10-class pack expires in 9 days - Shocked, I called to find out that they 10-class pack was only valid for 30-days, but that I could EXTEND it by purchasing another *special* deal for Black Friday - another $100+ option. This was ridiculous to me - I've never seen a large pack like that expiring in a month - Typically at other gyms they last a full YEAR. I'd never have purchased this deal had I known, especially since it coincided with holidays and holiday travel. They offered me two LOVELY options, reminding me MULTIPLE times that "it was written on the website when you purchased the deal when it expired":
1. First offer was to extend the deadline by ONE WEEK (hah so generous!). After mentioning that wouldn't work I was told the absolute best they could do was through end of December (extending original deadline by 1 month). However, I'll only be in town for 2 weeks in the remainder of the year because it's HOLIDAY SEASON.
2. The only other option I was given was to pay FULL price for the other 3 classes I did use, and be reimbursed the remaining $27 for the $100 pack I purchased. I took this because honestly I have zero interest in every coming to this gym again unless they pick up their game substantially in customer care and service! This is NO WAY to get or keep clients!
