Nothing against this gym location in particular, just more frustrated at gold's gym in general. It is not easy to cancel your membership. I canceled my membership in December, my last payment was January, so I should have been in the clear (it is February). I was charged again this month.
It was frustrating to begin with, in that you can't cancel a membership online or over the phone. Only in person. My wife and I both work during the week, and it is not simple to drive to the location in person. We found time to show up in person, and back in December got it canceled (or so I thought). Now, once again, they are unable to see why we were charged again over the phone or online. Have to come in person again
. The staff was as helpful as could be expected but the whole process is a pain.
Update: Apparently when I called customer service to inquire why i was charged again, and to confirm that my membership was indeed cancelled, the representative misunderstood and had actually re-instated my account. Never did she verify that I wanted to reinstate my account, or i would have said NO. It is now midway through March, I have been dealing with the cancellation process since December.
I loved Golds Gym's. There facilities were always decent, and I've never had any real complaints. But never again will I deal with any gym that requires contracts.
