The Planet Fitness terms and policy is stated on the agreement the member signed onlineThe member agreed and understood all Planet Fitness rules, terms, and policies by signing the agreement Section D of the agreement states: D)“Black Card Privileges and Other BenefitsPF Black Card
members may bring one guest per day for free to any location nationwideAll guest must be years old or with a parent-guardian and sign a guest registryThe PF Black Card member must accompany the guest and remain on the premises during the visit.” If the member would like to cancel the monthly dues, they can do soThe cancellation policy is as follows: “To cancel your monthly membership and stop the billing of the monthly membership fee on the 17th of the month, the club requires written notification by the 10th of the month delivered to the club in person or post marked via certified mail to the club listed aboveIn order to cancel your membership prior to the billing of the annual membership fee, the club requires written notice as described above on or before the 25th of the previous monthThe annual membership fee is fully earned when received and non-refundable.”

I'm following up to note that I've had further communication with Planet Fitness regarding my account. After a difficult morning of trying to get the manager on the phone, he informed me of a very dubious arrangement to make my account current. He said that I would be able to send a
letter and a check for "bucks or something" in order to clear my account. It didn't sound very genuine, but the guy probably has to deal with these kinds of phone calls from much more frustrated people. I guess I find this arrangement satisfactory, as long as it is in fact genuine?

To whom it may concern, Our employees are not trained in any way as to whether or not members are allowed to join more than one facility under the Healthways program. There was never an attempt to upsell the customer, instead she was offered free months of black card usage in lieu of a refund Mrs*** was made aware by Marcy, the Assistant Regional Manager, that based on the documentation we had and the cancellation/downgrade prior to the fulfillment of the month commitment, we would not be able to refund the buyout fee. The PF corporate office did not communicate to Mr*** the cost of reimbursement per Healthways visit, as the program is run through the franchisee and not the corporation and the dollar amount is not at all accurateNo mistake was made on the part of Planet Fitness and no refund will be issued Thank you for your time,Planet Fitness New Mexico Management

Mr*** reached out to our Rio Rancho manager on Wednesday 1/18/and she waived Mr*** remaining balanceMr*** is clear to join any Planet Fitness with no further fees. Thank you, Planet Fitness New Mexico Management

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
I was not told of this in the contract when I joinedI was only told it was cheaper to join through the black card membership.I was never told I could change my home locationAnd this is not in my contractBut, it turns out that I can. I was threatened with trespass by the club manager the night of my, alleged, 11th visitWhen I asked for a showing of how many visits I madeI was told , no.This threat of trespass to a member by the manager was ignored.My account does not reflect any visits to the *** locationNot 1. Every location is privately owned and operatedThey told meAnd each location has its own rulesMeaning there are no standardsThey can do whatever they want t.Planet Fitness has no credibility in my eyes

Good Evening,
I looked into the complaint filed by *** ***This member is correct that his membership was terminated with our facility back in FebruaryThis was due to inappropriate comments he made to our staffOur Regional Manager of this particular club even had to get involved
This is not someone we will allow back into our facilities due to continuous policies he was breaking and the treatment to our staffThe staff had to have several conversations with Mr*** regarding policy infractions which he continued to breakWe will also not be issuing a refund as he has not been billed a maintenance fee this year and we stopped his recurring billing the month he was terminatedPlease let me know if you need any further detailsThank You

Terrible staffing, rude and horrible people skillsi am pregnant, and pay for the black card membership so I pay for the tanning, massages and total body toning, so I expect to use them! after my work out I went to use the tanningi was giving a room to tan in and started to undress to go in the bed when, I had a knock at the door, I was asked if I was pregnant, which I am, week clearly showing and have been for the past monthsthey said that I was unable to tan that I need a doctors noteokay, why didn't I get that info before I was naked about to tan or months ago? their approach was unprofessional, terrible timing and very latei had been tanning for months I had even spoken with a staff member about my tanning and nothing was wrong to planet fitness until now? they need some training on how to properly handle these situations, and start having some constant rules! then when I had gone to the front desk to talk more in depth about what the problem was they talked down to me making me feel that I don't belong at a gym periodthey make remarks about my parenting and when I had asked to down grade my membership or cancel they would not allow me to do so with out paying there dollar feewhich I should not have to pay because they should have informed me of this rule they have a long time ago about months when I signed up for this membershipi'm very unhappy and very uncomfortable I will never return to this gym not how they run it and there slogan is "you belong" maybe they need some training on how to make the customer feel that there motto is sincere

I opened my Account with Planet Fitness on the of April..I was told at this time that future payments would not start til May 17th but they took money out of my account on April 17th which left my Account messed up and they were unwilling to fix it..if a business takes money out when they mess up they should fix it and that should be the policy instead of Acting as if they aren't responsible at allI will be canceling my Account

Case #*** Dear Ms***, We make every effort to be transparent with our customers around our membership rates and cancelation policies. Our employees make it a point to circle and/or highlight the methods of cancelation as written on our
membership agreements before the prospect joins our facility. We also thoroughly review that following a member’s minimum term, his/her membership will continue month-to-month with no commitment. The member receives a copy of these policies and procedures once they are reviewed. Per the membership agreement, members must either come in to their home club to cancel or send a certified letter to their home club so that both the business and the customer have a signed copy of the cancelation and there is no confusion in the process Ms*** was still an active member and the only paperwork we have on file is her agreement when she signed up on 11/05/There are also two notes on her account, one on 1/6/and another on 1/13/Both notes state she is coming down to cancelOn the 1/13/note, it states she was coming down to pay that coming Friday, our records do not show that came in to pay off her balance or cancel her membershipAs a courtesy to Ms***, we have cancelled her membershipWe have emailed a copy of her cancellation form to the e-mail address listed on the Revdex.com complaint Sincerely, Planet Fitness Connecticut Management

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 10, 2016/01/12) */
Hello,
My name is ***, and I am the Director of operations for the Planet Fitness locations in the Fresno areaThank you for forwarding this information to usWe have resolved the issue on our end
Unfortunately at this point
based on the customers decision we will not be able to do business with Mr***Our company has a code of conduct that our members agree to follow as a condition of membershipThis code is well established and in the interest of all of our guestThe code cover issue like use of cell phones, size of water jugs, a non-intimidation policy, and what is acceptable to be carried or left on the floor while working out in the facilityWhen we have the ability to improve from a customers perspective we are quick to adapt the policies to benefit the consumerIn this case Mr*** was made aware of specific polices that he was not followingThe first was the size of his water jugWe do not allow gallon jugs to be carried on the gym floorWhen he was first made aware of the policy we offered to hold his jug and we gave him a bottle of water out of our for sale cooler at our expenseMr*** entered the club on a different visit with the jug of water and was made aware of the policy againOn the second visit he stated that we should just give him a water then since we did it the last timeThe management gently restated the policy and offered to hold his jug behind the desk for the duration of that workout
We do have a sign stating that members are responsible for their valuablesThe sign states that a member should carry keys, wallets and cell phones on them as a precautionThe sign specifically leaves out gym bags, since our policy is that gym bags are not allowed on the gym floorWhen Mr*** was seen with the bag he was addressed like any other member would have beenWe train our staff to be polite and non invasive and approach each member with respectWe understand that the member may not know the policy, but we do expect that a member will act appropriately and in accordance with the membership agreementWe are more than happy to have a discussion about the policy, but the policy will be enforcedIn the course of discussing the policy violation with Mr*** solutions were offered but Mr*** indicated that he would be unable to comply with the agreed upon policiesAt that point, after considering the facts, we made the decision to terminate the membership with Mr*** according to our membership agreement with himWe did not enter into that decision lightly, but we do need to respect the other members who follow the policies we have all agreed toWe are still open to speaking with Mr***, and I can be reached at the number below if he would like to contact me directly
Thank you,

Dear Revdex.com,
Unfortunately we never received a letter January and we already went over that issue when I
spoke to him June 29th. To prevent any further inconvenience I allowed MrBender to send an email cancellation in which I received June 29th and his account was cancelled 7/15/16. He was made aware of that and received a refund for the month of July in which that was verified July 29th when we spoke via email. July is the only month he will be refunded since I did not receive notice until June 29th about cancelling. If any further questions he is more than welcome to contact me via phone or email

This issue has been handledSee the below statement that was communicated via email. "***,I was able to look into accounts for both you and your wife, ***I have made sure that both of you will not be charged for the annual fee on 4/1/I apologize for any miscommunication that may
have been caused by any of the staff membersIf there is anything else I can take care of for you, please don't hesitate to reach outHave a great rest of your day and enjoy the beautiful weather!My Best," If this resolution is not sufficient, please let me know so we can do our part to make this right

I am rejecting this response because: I was told by rep when signing up my payments are due on the 17th of each monthI made my March payment on the 17th and then was charged a late fee on April 13thI just paid my April 17th payment, called planet fitness and was told that payments are collected "collected near the 10th of the month and after that it goes though a different department," and that I "will be charged another late fee and we can't do anything about it." The contract says that payments are due on the 17th, if I had known they want it days in advanced, I would adjusted the date to pay them accordingly.I want to be reimbursed the late fee for March even though I paid on the correct date, (which they took out in April 13th) as well as the late fee they will take out again for my April 17th paymentAfter those two reimbursements are sent to my card, I would like to close my account so that my April payment is the last one and I will not accrue any more feesI'd also like in writing that account is closed and I won't receive any more fees after my April payment

I have been trying to cancel this gym membership since AugustI live miles away from this facility but was told that I needed to come into the facility to sign papers to cancelI was told I could not cancel over the net, by email or mail
The real trouble came in when I stopped payment of the automatic withdrawal from my checking accountPlanet Fitness went to an outside company and had my credit card charged I have filed a disputed charge and fraud claim with the credit card company
When I talked with *** *** *** - NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR I was finally told that I should (could) send a certified letter to the Planet Fitness in Clarksville, IN canceling the accountThis was not communicated to me when I talked directly to the Clarksville facility

Planet Fitness signed up my UNDERAGE daughter for a gym membership On top of that they told her they would only charge her $a month I found out about this when she came to me and told me that they were charging her $ I called the Planet Fitness on *** and spoke with *** - who said she was the manager I informed her my daughter is a minor, and they signed her to a contract I also informed her my daughter was told it would only be $a month, but they charged her $39.99! She said my daughter would receive a refund of $within 7-days I called back today (it has been days) and told her we have not received it She then changed her story and said it would be 7-WORKING days NOT what she said before I asked for a corporate number and was told they "don't have one." Then I asked for a billing number and was told they "don't have a number, it's only a private email." Clearly they don't have good customer service

I have been unhappy for awhile, but more importantly, I wasn't using the membership due to my unhappinessThe gym usually had a smelly, sour odor, & I typically left with a headache That isn't the reason for my complaintOn 1/17/16, I went into the club per policy, which is to cancel membership in writingI was NOT informed that I would be billed again for the next monthIn fact, the staff member told me I would receive no further billingsI received an auto debit to my checking account on 1/19/16, which presumably was run through on 1/18/16, but it was a bank holiday, so it actually appeared on 1/ The cancellation form I signed said the last bill date would be 1/17/16, so they are in violation of their own agreementI called PF & spoke to a person who acted like they couldn't possibly understand my complaintI then asked to speak to a manager, who further acted like she had simply never heard of this type of complaint and that in fact, "NO ONE HAD EVER REQUESTED A

Normally when someone has a membership and is injured, we ask for a doctor's note and will freeze the membership for a maximum of months, or cancel the membership and re-sign the person up without enrollment fee when they become healthy againWe have gone ahead and cancelled ***'s membership and
she will not be billed again until she decides to sign up again

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:My son NEVER received any messages or had ANY contact with anybody from this establishmentI was the one paying the bill every month, so they should have contacted meDuring ANY of my conversations with people at this business was I ever told that the account was contracted until FebruaryNEVER !
