[A default letter is provided here which indicates your acceptance of the business's response If you wish, you may update it before sending it.] Revdex.com: I disagree with the response that they listed as I did tell them that I was having issues and that the instructions that they sent were far from correct or that the process was simple Please have them arrange for a technician to come to my home to fix the elliptical I wish to keep the complaint open until the product has been fixed and is operational I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me Regards, [redacted]

[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: Two technicians were here on June 24, Smooth Fitness copied their findings in their email to you earlier todayThe complaint has not been resolved The equipment needs to be repaired as per Cory's recommendations or we need a refund and prompt removal We started asking for repair in January - this is unacceptable Regards, [redacted]

[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:They have ignored my repeated requests for return of product based on their failure to repairThey have ignored my lawyer's request for return of productI have waited for over months (new product not usable) for Smooth Fitness to do somethingI have made phone call after phone call, with no action on their partRepair of their product is no longer a satisfactory resolutionMy request was clear - full refund & return of their product!Given a MONTH "dead zone" of no action despite repeated calls, I do not believe any resolution is acceptable other than Smooth Fitness taking their product back with all costs incurred to be their burdenIs there any part of this that would cause me to trust Smooth Fitness ever again? The unit arrived with multiple product problems, Smooth Fitness was notified immediately and then there were months of broken promises.I want them to take their product back then I will not pursue further legal action Regards, [redacted]

I bought an DMX Elliptical from Smooth Fitness around months ago and the machine has not been functional much at all! I have called numerous times and spoken with numerous individuals with no availI called a few weeks ago and was explained the problem would be looked into and I would receive a call the following day, which I did not! I just filed my second complaint against Smooth Fitness with the Revdex.comThe first was closed because smooth fitness gave information saying the matter was resolved, which yet again it has not! May this be a receipt that legal action will be pursued if the matter isn't corrected in the near futureSmooth Fitness has been a big disappointment and I would not reccomend anyone to purchase one of your products due to the poor handling of my problem! > > Sincerely, > > [redacted] > [redacted] > [redacted] > ###-###-####

[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: I purchased this treadmill with the belief that I was getting lifetime warranty on all parts as stated on the attached receipt At no time was I told by any service technicians from Smooth Fitness that the failure was caused by a static shock from outside the machinePower surges, static, and other over current conditionsI was told that they weren't going to cover it because they were a new company and wouldn't cover the costIt is impossible for smooth Fitness to make such claimI honestly think they are trying to get out of honoring their warrantyThe control panel works partially and that wouldn't be possible if their claims were trueSeveral customers are having similar difficulty with Smooth Fitness warranty coverage Regards, [redacted]
