    Membership Cancellation Contract Validity and Immediate Action Required Thank you for your reply and for providing the referenced membership agreement. However, I must emphasize that the contract you are citing appears to be with MUV Fitness, not OneLife Fitness. Given the change in ownership, it is unclear whether these contractual terms remain valid under OneLife Fitnesss current policies.I am currently overseas and unable to utilize your facilities. Consequently, I reiterate my request for an immediate cancellation of my membership, without any further charges. If your organization maintains that the contract is still enforceable under OneLife Fitness, I respectfully ask that you provide official, legally binding documentation clearly stating that the former MUV Fitness cancellation policy remains applicable.Should this issue remain unresolved, I will explore all options available to me, including filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and, if necessary, pursuing legal action. I trust we can resolve this swiftly and amicably, and I look forward to receiving confirmation of my immediate membership cancellation.Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

    I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding the childcare services at the **********, ** location of Onelife Fitness. As a parent of a 12-month-old, I have serious concerns about the safety and management of the childcare facility at this location. Despite bringing these issues to the attention of the staff multiple times, no corrective actions have been ********* of the primary reasons I chose Onelife Fitness as my gym was the availability of childcare services. As a parent, having a safe, well-managed childcare area is critical for my ability to attend the gym with peace of mind. Unfortunately, the ********** location has consistently failed to meet this standard.Specifically, I have observed older children, some appearing to be five years old or older, using baby equipment inappropriately by jumping and climbing on it, creating a hazardous environment for younger children. This behavior is not only unsafe but also disrupts the purpose of having designated areas and equipment for ********* contrast, the ************** location of Onelife Fitness provides an excellent childcare experience. The staff there are attentive, professional, and consistently ensure that older children are kept separate from the babies, as is standard practice. Unfortunately, the ********** location falls significantly short of this *********** a paying member of Onelife Fitness, I should not feel unsafe bringing my child to the gym, nor should I have to drive 45 minutes to a different location to receive the level of care and attention that should be available at all locations.I hope this matter can be resolved promptly, as the current situation has made me reluctant to use the childcare services at **********, which directly impacts my ability to use the gym facilities.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing how Onelife Fitness plans to address these concerns.

    On July 11, 2024, we paid $49.99 with a credit card at OneLifeFitness *****************, understanding that the monthly fee would be $29.99. However, they linked a nonexistent ***** ********** account, which we never provided. On August 2, 2024, they attempted to charge this nonexistent account, resulting in a $15.00 fee for the failed transaction. Then, on August 4, 2024, our credit card was charged the agreed monthly fee of $29.99 plus the $15.00 failed transaction fee.We spoke with the manager on duty, ******, who became frustrated. We expressed our dissatisfaction and requested to cancel the membership. It appears that someone linked another persons bank account to our membership, and now they want us to pay $90.00 to buy out the contract. This is not good business practice and is disheartening, especially as it seems to be taking advantage of an elderly person.

    Good Morning,

    I was just reviewing ******************** complaint, but I do not see the issues that were mentioned. It doesn't appear that anything has changed in her billing since she joined and I do not see any additional fees that were charged earlier this month. I have attached a copy of her transaction listing as well as her membership agreement for review. She is welcome to reach back out to myself or the General Manager *************************************** directly if she has additional details that I'm just not seeing on her account.

    Thanks so much!

    The complaint has been filed on the behalf of my family member *********************** my father.

    Thanks so much for the update. I have followed up with the manager at that location and he confirmed that the bank account information was provided at the time of joining. When **************** came back in to ask about the late fee, he was told that they would be glad to remove that fee if updated billing information was provided. **************** did not want to update this information and chose to buyout of his agreement at that time. 

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions at all!

    I was a member of One Life Fitness in ****************** until 6/22/23 when I went into the location and canceled my membership. I have evidence of paying a cancelation fee which is shown in their records. This should have been the end of my membership, but I later found out I had been being charged $180 a month for personal training through the gym that I was no longer a member of. This should have been closed when my membership was canceled. Also starting 12/2/23 One Life Fitness began charging me again for a membership fee. The total amount paid after membership was canceled was $2129.95.

    Hello,

    Thanks so much for your patience. I want to first apologize for the membership billing starting again.  The manager has refunded the additional dues that were charged in error, plus some of the personal training sessions as a courtesy. I unfortunately do not see any record of her cancelling her personal training. If documentation of a prior attempt to cancel this could be provided, that would be helpful.

    Thanks so much!

    I appreciate the refund for the billing error. However, I am rejecting this response due to the fact that One Life Fitness clearly agrees that my membership was cancelled on 6/22/2023, and I paid the cancellation fee of *****. The cancelling of a membership should include everything related to One Life Fitness. How could I continue to receive personal training sessions from One Life Fitness if I was no longer a member? 

    Sincerely,

    I had an extremely unsatisfactory experience take place at this gym without zero resolve, and frankly it seems like no one cares but me. I had signed up for 3 months personal training during March, April, May for $720 per month. I had a VERY CLEAR understanding with my trainer that I could only commit to 3 months. The actual charge on my credit card references 3 months for goodness sake. There was NEVER any confusion that I could only do 3 months and nothing more. What I WAS NOT told during sign-up was that I had to cancel 30 days ahead of my last payment (so in April), even though we were all on the same page about the 3 months time-frame. Well, I was charged 06/15 for a 4th payment and cannot for the life of me get this money returned. How can I be charged for something I clearly did not want or agree to. I have not even used one iota of any June training! This is frankly a deceptive business practice and why I came to BBB. These practices are illegal! Not only was I set up on a reoccurring monthly payment even though I only committed for 3 months, but it was never communicated to me that I need to terminate 30 days before my last month. I have tried to resolve this multiple times. I have spoken with the ** on different occasions, my trainer, the Fitness Director and Corporate. I just get the shoulder shrug with very little affect displayed. How on earth is this the way to run a business?? I am extremely frustrated. I feel cheated and robbed, and like no one will listen or even attempt to remedy the situation (no I do want more training). I am about at my wits end and running out of options.

    I wrote an email to Onelife Fitness corporate to cancel my account in almost a year ago and am still being charged. It is easy to sign up for Onelife fitness right at the physical location, however, cancellations are made hard by not being able to cancel in person, there not being a phone number to call. It has to be done by email. They did not honor my first emai and continued to charge me for a year. It is a predatory practice.

    Even after terminating my membership which I have email confirmation, they keep charging me. I had to put stop orders on my bank account and then now they charged my credit card. I already requested termination multiple times in person and via email with confirmation. They also tried to bill my bank via a different corporate name to work around my stop order.

    Complaint: 21208804

    I am rejecting this response because:

    the email from the company clearly states my membership will expire 11/27/23. 
    I gave 60 day notice, which is more than the 30 day notice they require in their terms. They keep trying to bill more and more months.

    I called to cancel my membership in July 2023. I was told I had to call an 800 number to cancel. I did that and was told membership was canceled. I continued to be charged $180 for 3 months. I am now being told I must cancel in writing. I asked for copy of contract that states that and have not heard back from GM at the site. I see I am not the first person being scammed when canceling membership.

    Man I am absolutely disappointed in one life fitness. I left a year ago because the spa area was always either dirty or not working. I return only to find conditions are just as bad if not worse. The jacuzzi has had the same dirt in it for what appears to be weeks to months. They're literally only draining water and putting it back in. NO ONE IS CLEANING THE JACUZZI. same dirt has been there in the same spots since I began a new membership over a week ago. TODAY HOWEVER ITS DIRTY AND HAS ZERO CHLORINE. THE WATER SMELLS LIKE SWEAT AND A MOP BUCKET. You've gotta be kidding me man. Absolutely disgusting. No concern of anyone's health. Every day I came in from 10/1-10/7/2023..same thing. Today 10/10/23 the pool cleaner came in but when he left the area looks exactly the same. He only added CHLORINE to the water.

    I paid for swimming lessons back in Janurary 2023, and my son was not able to fully take his lessons due to the poor management of the facility. On April 6, 2023 at 530 pm I took my son to his swimming lessons, where the instructor was talking to another parent and my son almost drowned. His entire body was under water for nearly a minute when I told the instructor " Hey get him!". After that my son has not been back to swimming lessons. When I asked for a refund, I was told that " I am not getting a refund, this is a business, and you can either transfer that credit to personal training or take that loss". The way I was spoken to by the managers of this facility is truly disheartening. So now I am out of ****** that they refuse to refund to me, and expect me to go back to the gym and act as if they will not be targeting me.
