Hey ***,I hope your new location in ** is treating you well !! The summers won't be as hot as Yuma of course.The *** group has not gotten to open a PF location yet near *** This type of situation has come up before And normally a member then just sends us a letter via
certified mail with a letter and copy enclosed so we can process a cancellation same day.If you can reply to this email with a scan of your current proof of address we can take care of that cancellation for you as you requested (your new ** ID with current address) This will waive the $buyout fee normally associated with an early cancellation prior to the month minimum term You could also send an email to the club directly at *** with your info and scanned copy.We can then cancel your membership the same day as requested!!!Hope your new adventures up north continue to enrich your life and we are glad that we could resolve this concern.Thanks,*** ***Regional Manager Planet Fitness

I am one of the Regional Managers for Planet Fitness in the Greater Philadelphia AreaI am the Regional Manager that oversees our Planet Fitness Bensalem location that received the complaint, just wanted to take a few minutes of your time to respond to the complaint,When the complaint was received
we began a formal investigation into the matter, The member who logged the complaint did join our location in December and cancelled their membership in February 2016, The member requested that we refund them all fees charged since they have not been into the facilityUnfortunately, the membership fees do not go by the amount of usage at the club, This member had a 40+ day span where they could have utilized the facility and chose not toThis member, as all members do, signed off on the membership agreement that states billing will continue to take place until the membership has been cancelled either in person at their home club (designated by where the member signs up at) or via certified mail,For the reasons stated above we have come to the determination that all company policies and procedures were followed properly by our Club Manager,Thank you for your time!Planet Fitness Regional Manager

To whom it may concern,
This is a response to the complaint with the ID ***
"">The Customer is Correct in stating that we require all new members to use their checking or savings account as their primary method of payment for their membership feesDuring the joining process We do ask for a credit card or debit card to use for the initiation feeThis card is saved as backup billing informationIf there is an issue with the checking or savings account the monthly fee will be charged to the credit cardAll of this is stated in the membership agreement that each member agrees to upon joining at our locationIt is true that in the past we did allow new members to use their credit or debit card as their primary payment informationOur franchisee changed its policy regarding what type of billing information is accepted and this policy is followed by all of our franchise locationsWe do require that our members give us the permission to contact them, primarily used to let members know if there is a problem with the billing information on file or if there is an outstanding balance on the accountSincerely,

Membership fee billed on account that has to be closed due to health
Agreement Number: XXXXXXXXX
Barcode: XXXXXXXXXXX
I recently needed emergency surgery in August (docs were provided to business) I was instructed by my doctor to not be physically active for a few months, pending further review Because of this I was unable to utilize Planet Fitness's services
Before I was able to cancel services, they billed my membership fee on 9/ When I canceled I was advised they were unable to refund it as it had already been billed They confirmed if it was canceled before 9/it would have not billed
I was not anticipating this fee to bill, as the initial information was not clear when this would occur, plus the stress of the emergency surgery Even if I was aware of it, I was unable to go in and cancel prior to 9/as I was recovering at home

I highly do not recommend this businessI moved out of the area months ago and wanted to cancel my membership and be refunded the amount since I moved out the area, which I had documentation forI called the business and they told me to email them showing proof of my move with datesI sent that email May 19, and I'm still waiting on an answer backI called last week to see if there was an update and spoke to *** said I couldn't cancel the account over email and I would have to come in personI'm not driving two hours just to cancel my gym membershipI asked *** to speak with the general manager when he gets inStill haven't received any response from themI filed a complaint with Planet Fitness Corperate and RevDex.com, to have them address this

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:
MrM*** if your going to sit there and say those employees explained anything your lyingThey said sign, initial signIf you really believe your employees are telling people this then why do you have so many angry customers? Why when I called and said I am sending you the letter did you tell me it was too late to stop the charges this month which is another lieYou know this is wrong and no one read over that with me at signing. You need to take responsibility for your employees being poorly trained and I take responsibility for doing business with a shady companyIf I took the time to file multiple complaints what part of that makes you think it's not me cancelling, ask me for my last four social or my birthdateJust be honest this is just another way for you to get to take extra paymentsShady business practicesYou will never get a good word said from myself to anyone ever again instead I will tell them how I was ripped off for over a year and then even worse when I said stopI intend on contacting the owners or someone in the state over fraud because you were told to not take any more funds from my account, I will not go awayYou are wrong in doing this to peopleI have already had multiple messages from others you have done the same wayWe are putting the word out and will continue to do soYou need to change your policy or train your employees properly or you will continue to have angry customers
Will you at least cancel now?
Sincerely,

We are sorry that Brooke had trouble canceling her Moon Valery membership, and that she joined as she said she lives no where near it Unfortunately there isn't anything we can do We are a totally different business and owner from the Moon Valley club We can't cancel her or
refund her, we have never received any money from her This review is for the wrong business All cancellations are done on carbon paper, so if she did a cancelation for then she can just bring that to Moon Valley They will then refund her But this complaint is to the wrong business and we have no power or control what so ever :( Sorry

I went to this Planet Fitness location looking for a cheap gym membership while I was in town for a clinical rotation from April 2-June When I went into the store to inquire about membership fees and how much it would be for my time here, I was told that if I signed up for a "black card membership", my first month would be free, and then the second month I would pay the monthly fee of $21.99, and then I could cancel my membership in June when I left LouisvilleI asked about annual fees, and the woman I was talking to assured me that they wouldn't come out of my account until August 1st, which wouldn't be an issue for me since I was canceling my membership in early June when I left townOn June 1st, there was a $charge taken out of my account for an "annual club fee"I was certain this was a mistake, so I went into the store to have this remedied, and the man who was helping me stated that it was not a mistake, and that I had signed a form agreeing to thisThat would have been
