From: [redacted] Sent: Thursday, June 23, 8:AMTo: [redacted] Cc: [redacted] Subject: Complaint # [redacted] I tried responding on the website but it would not allow me to submit our response Here is our responseWe are sorry for this experienceAttached is a copy of [redacted] signed agreement and a/r historyThe agreement states that we bill $on or around the 17th of each monthThere is an annual fee of $billed on or around June We did not find any hidden charges applied to the accountAt this time, we will not cancel Tether Sparks' membershipThe membership can be cancelled by terms in agreementTo cancel the membership, we ask for written notification to be provided to the club in person or by mail (preferably certified) by the 10th of the month

[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the responseIf no reason is received your complaint will be closed Administratively Resolved] Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:The response of Planet Fitness is not entirely correct.Planet Fitness' representation of the dates is not accurate I did indeed ask for my refund within three business days of signing the contract Their security footage would show me interacting with one of their employees to make this request The employee said that he could not process a refund, only the manager could, and that I needed to talk to the manager, Nate about this Since Nate was not there that day when I made the initial request, I spoke to Nate about the refund the next time I saw him at the Gym a few days later, still the week of January 3rd The security tapes will show this if in fact they have them.When I spoke to Nate, I did not request a Silver Sneakers membership I said I wanted to put my wife on a month to month membership for months, until May Then in May my wife would get a silver Sneakers membership since that is when she would first be eligible.Any email referred to by Planet Fitness on this matter is entirely internal to Planet Fitness No email was sent to me or my wife The date of January 18th they reference has nothing to do with when I requested the refund It may only be when Nate first communicated with his manager, I do not know.Nate did offer to cancel my wife's membership and extend mine for an additional months, but I explained to him that I would be eligible for a Silver Sneakers membership months after my own month membership finished, and extending mine by months was not an acceptable solution.I have been interacting with Nate regularly since the first week of January on this issue, and at no time did he indicate that I would not receive the refund He always seemed surprised when I told him that I had not yet got the refund check in the mail, and that he would contact his regional manager again to follow up on the matter.My last discussion with Nate was in mid April, and he told me that the owner would be visiting the facility on Wednesday, April 13th, and he would speak to him about it I told Nate that I have been more than patient, and that I would file a Revdex.com complaint the following week if I did not get the refund that was due me Regards, [redacted]

I've been given the runaround on how to resolve my account issuesI only recently signed up for a gym membership back in August and was hit with an Annual Service Fee in OctoberThe account wasn't sufficiently funded for such, and I was hit with two service fees from the bank for not having enough to cover the expense, each fee for each time Planet Fitness attempted to do soI went to my original location where I signed up, and they told me they would attempt a 3rd time before stopping in a few daysSo I got the funds necessary to put in my account to handle the situationAt the end of the month, I came back and attempted to cancel my accountThey told me I could not because I still had a pending chargeSo, I consulted my financial advisor and they said hey would contact the General Manager of Planet fitnessThey were told there wasn't anything they could do at the facility, and the fees were incurred at a higher level cooperatelyWe attempted to consult corporate via their we

I have not had a planet fitness account in years, come to find out someone had my information and set me up for a account
I was billed the monthly fee in sept, I advised I didn't do this accountThey advised me to come in and to cancel the account I never set up so I did, then I get hit today with the annual fee
I called back and arguged with them and they still will not give me a refund
I talked to bank and because its my checking I would have to stop payment which is another
I am so upset I have no money and this isn't my account
I hve not been in there in years and they even confirmed I have not been in there so how can they take my money and not even offer my refund
They are doing shady business and I am not okay with this at all I need my money I work hard for

Plant fitness is endangering the health of there customers, instead of providing sanitary wipes, they ask you to use a towel some one eles have used prior to you to wipe down equipment, the is very unsanitary, because a build up of swet is no the towel from every one that uses it, this can cause a serious bacterial infection, and this is the reason I did not join their gymWhen I questioned the person who was giving me a tour about this issue she said it would be fine obviously they are not educating the people who work for them, you sould never use a duty towel to wip a surface clean

I haven't been to the location in over a year, months ago I asked to cancel all accounts and today I've been charged for a service I don't use and the company has refused to refund methe staff was not helpful and not informed enough to assist methe general manager was not available and no one was willing to provide me with the proper contact information to rectify this problem and it needs to be solved

I went into planet fitness today May 26, to cancelI haven't been there in monthsI filled out paperwork to cancel my membershipAfter I signed the paperThe girl at the desk proceeds to tell me that, because I cancelled todayI will still be charged the membership fee on June 1, This is absolutely unacceptable! I just cancelled my membership and I still owe a membership fee, that doesn't sound right to meI have never heard of this, and will not be paying itThe whole reason I am cancelling is because I can't afford monthly paymentsSo, why would I pay a membership fee, when I'm not even using the membership

The difficulty of canceling your membership reaches a level that I have to believe is borderline illegalI've never encountered a gym that does not allow over-the-phone cancellationYou either have to go into a location in person or print out a cancellation form and send it to your "home club" (where you signed up originally) by certified mailAlready this is a serious inconvenience for people who moved and forget to cancel their membershipBUT what they don't tell you is that in order to cancel at another location in person, you have to transfer your "home club" online to your new cityOk another roadblockBUT what they don't tell you is that in order to transfer your home cub to a new location you have to be a member for daysAt this point we're looking at a business practice that is completely unnecessary and impractical for the consumerThe excuse they use is they "need a signature on file to cancel." This makes no senseThere are any number of ways that they can verify who you are so you're not cancelling random people's memberships, including most notably, asking to verify your email address and home address when you first call WHICH THEY ALREADY DO!!! For a gym that markets flexibility in memberships and providing hours that allow people to workout outside of business hours, requiring someone to print a membership, fill it out, find an envelope/stamp and make a run to the post office which is only open during regular business hours is embarrassingPlanet Fitness having an "A" rating by the Revdex.com is a bad look for the Revdex.com

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # ***
I did not say the fee was charged on the 15th of JanuaryI said that I called on or around the 15th of January and asked what the procedure was to cancel my membershipI was told that as long as I cancelled by 2/that there would be no further chargesI specifically asked if there were any other charges and was told by the employee that there were noneIf I had been told that there would be other charges, I would have immediately gone to the club and cancelled my membershipThe employee gave me incorrect information which caused additional charges.
