I apologize for any confusion, but he did sign the contract stating that he fully understood the agreement and its terms If further questions or concerns he is more than welcome to contact the club at any time

I was told about the initial charge of $for the first year as my membership was purchased months priorI was not given any notice that they were renewing my membership for another year, I went in shortly after noticing the charge having not been to this gym in months and was told that they "do not do refunds" and that I should have cancelled if I didn't want to be chargedwell I was cancelling and have no intentions of ever going back, it is bad practice to automatically assume someone wants to enter into another contact with a businessHad this not happened I may have come back when I had the spare cash, but now I will not, I have taken my money to a much better business who does not treat their customers so poorly.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 # [redacted] Regards, [redacted]

Dear [redacted] ,I'm emailing on behalf of Planet Fitness in Malvern and a complaint you received from [redacted] As he stated he did want to transfer his membership from our location to the Planet Fitness in South PhillyThe way our transfer process works is that a member would go to the member services page on our website and select the location he wants to transfer from and to but due to recently getting a new website layout the online process has been sporadic and since we have allow members to do a "manual transfer" to locationsThe manual transfer process include the member going into their new location, talking to the staff there who then contacts us and informs us that they are transferringFrom there we cancel their membership and fax the form to the new location so they can sign up the member and waive any initiation feesAs stated by [redacted] , he did go into South Philly to transfer his membership sometime in March While there he signed up and to the best of our knowledge they had waived any initiation feesThe problem occurred because we were not informed of this by [redacted] or the new location causing him to have open memberships that he was being billed from.On June 2nd, [redacted] called our location and informed me (Scott A [redacted] Assistant GM) that he had been billed from our locationAfter unsuccessfully searching his file for a cancellation form, he informed us of the situation stated aboveHe informed me that he wished to be cancelled at which point Stated the cancelling process which is in our agreement where he initialed that requires a member wishing to cancel to either come into the club in person or to send the club a letter certified mailHe wanted his membership cancelled immediately and was unable to come into the club so given the situation of the double billing and the confusion or lack of communication from the transferring process I did him a favor and asked that he email me his wish to cancel and that his email would count as a certified letter so that I could attach the document to his fileHe was then cancelled in our system on June 3rd, I also discussed with him that we would refund him his money from our location as again a favor even though he did not properly cancel with us or transfer his membershipThat refund was for Months he was billed at both locations, $19.99/month totaling The refund proposal was completed on June 3rd and faxed to our owners on the following Monday, June 8th.As of that conversation on June 3rd, we had helped [redacted] resolve the issue and problems that occurred, both of which [redacted] said he was pleased withI contacted [redacted] after receiving this notice to again confirm and update him on the resolution we had discussed on June 3rd.If you have any further questions or would like to contact me my information is belowThanks for your time.Scott A (Assistant GM)Planet Fitness Malvern###-###-####www.planetfitness.com

I had a membership with Planet Fitness which I canceled at the end of April I went into the gym and filled out a cancellation form at the front desk and was told I would no longer be charged the $monthly membership feeI noticed a charge from Planet Fitness on my July bank statementI looked further back into my account and saw that I had been charged every month since I cancelled my membershipI called the gym the next morning and was told they never received my cancellation notice and that it MUST be sent by certified mailI was never told that when I asked to cancel at the front deskThey filled out and emailed me a cancellation form on July 27, (which was done by email, not certified mail) and on the top of the form it states that certified mail is "preferred" not requiredI asked for a refund for the months (April - July 2017) they charged me after I had canceled and they said NO Product_Or_Service: Gym membership

[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 as Answered] Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: I have not been to the gym in monthsI work and go to school full timeI have not been able to get thereI was able to sign up onlineWhy isn't there an option to cancel online? Probably because you count on customers not being able to come in so you can continue to take money from their accountsHow can I be charged for past fees if I have not used your facility? Planet Fitness has received dues for months that I wasn't there prior to me disputing the charges so there should be no problem refunding me I will discontinue service and not come backIt sounds like unfair practices on your part that you would not be willing to refund me when you haven't lost anythingFurthermore, I would like to see your contract terms I would also like to know how you gained access to a credit card that I never authorized you to chargeI also would like to see your records that show the last time I was there I will be sure to advise my social media followers about how you treat your customers as I see you don't value them at all since you chose to e-mail me rather than reach out and make a telephone call I will await your response [redacted] Regards, [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: DON Regards, [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: Changes were not able to be made online This was the problem from the start The General Manager NEVER responded to the emails nor phone calls How is this acceptable? Also, since the person responding to this Revdex.com complaint CANCELLED my membership AFTER I made a complaint This could have been done to begin with Instead, this business did nothing It seems they still want to do nothing Fact is, I did my part to resolve the situation, Planet Fitness-Oak Lawn did notEvery response has been nothing but an excuse as to why they did nothing Sincerely, [redacted] ***

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and I appreciate that Planet Fitness finally cancelled my membershipHowever, is there an extremely slim chance that employees at this location did not receive my letter? YesBut I don't believe that is what happenedMaybe this manager is lying, maybe not, but from what I saw, this company doesn't actually care about customer satisfactionRather, you can tell from all of the complaints to Planet Fitnesses across the country that the company purposely makes cancelling difficult to keep members paying extra money during the dispute processTake my advice and complain to the Revdex.com to get these scam artists to cancel your membership when you decide to cancelIf not, they will continue taking money out of your account despite letters and calls Regards, [redacted] ***
