I contracted folliculitis and ringworm from the facility not being cleaned. I been to urgent care two times for the problem and its was identified that it came form the gym facility. I also have been on antibiotics two times for the same problem. I also seen an allergiest and they also concurred that its from the gym being dirty. I also contacted the frederick county health dept about this and they confirmed it is from the mats not being cleaned. I have been in touch with the onelife josh ******** to refund the money and maintenance fee money for the facility since they have not used the money correctly for what i was paying for. I also asked to cancel my membership with a refund and he charged me another membership fee. I have filed a dispute charge with the credit card company for the charge. Josh ******** at onelife is the person to contact about the problem. I want my money refunded and membership cancelled and stop charging me.Business response

Good Morning Scott!
I have attached your transaction listing showing the bill date for you and ALL members is the second of every month which was the same day you sent me your doctor's note, therefore, you were already billed and I could not stop that. Either way, we cannot stop billing past the 25th of the month prior. Just so you are aware and I have stated in multiple emails now, I have already submitted the refund for that charge which is being mailed to you in the form of a check. I received a confirmation email at 1205am last night from Member Services stating your membership has been cancelled effective immediately and your refund is being processed as I stated it would be. I have also attached your membership agreement for your review in case there are any other policies you are in question about regarding cancelling your membership. I have not only taken action here at the club to do a deep cleaning (overnight) due to this one isolated incident but have also stuck to my word by getting your membership cancelled and a refund submitted. If there is something else you feel I have not done to address this issue, please let me know. We have the Health Department come out once a year for an annual inspection and we have always met the standards for a clean health club, I would be happy for them to come out again to confirm this. Again, I'm terribly sorry for you skin infection but at this point I have done every thing you have requested us to do so I would like to wish you the best of luck moving forward and please let me know if you have any other questions.
Have a great day, Scott!Business response

OneLife Fitness continues to charge my account for unexplainable amounts of money. This has been a reoccurring situation for 2 months now which is well past my cancellation date for a membership I had with them. The latest fraudulent transaction is for ***** USD on January 4, 2023. I have had to contact my bank several times to File for a dispute regarding transactions from this merchant so there is a pattern of fraudulent behavior from OneLife I am looking for 2 resolutions: 1. A full refund for ***** 2. A full data wipe of my financial and personal data/information from their customer database.Business response

This member requested to cancel their membership on December 1st, 2022 which made December 2022 her final month. We bill all members on the 2nd of each month and her December payment declined. Our system then attempted to charge her for her past due balance on January 2nd and it went through. This member is not owed any refund and her account was cancelled per her request. I am happy to delete the encrypted billing information out of our system.
Thank you!Initial Complaint

When I signed up for the standard membership and personal training.l I was not allowed time to read the contract, just bullet points of the contract that the business provided. With that I also never received a copy of the document that I signed, until requested two days ago. When I signed up I was not informed that I was not able to cancel either of those by simply asking, and that apparently I had signed up for a 12 month contract, which was not communicated and is not visibly written in their contracts provided. If that was communicated, I would've never signed up in the first place. I've now come into financial difficulties and they are making it nearly impossible for me to cancel, as well as forcing me out of nearly $500, and that will continue to increase as they continue to remove money from my account as the months go by with this unresolved. They have no true customer service line, and no one other than the manager of the building specifically that you are able to talk toBusiness response

Business Response /* (1000, 16, 2022/11/29) */ BBB Complaint Case# ******** (Ref#XX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XX-XXX) External Inbox Josh ******** <*********@onelifefitness.com> 9:38 AM (14 minutes ago) to me Hello, Please see follow up conversation with member below. Member has not replied. From: Josh ******** <*********@onelifefitness.com> Sent: Thursday, November 10, XXXX X:XX PM To: ****** Hamilton <**************@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Cancelation/MNFXXXXX Hi Sophia, I'm so sorry, I don't know how I missed your last email. Do you have any medical documentation showing you were sick? That would make things a little easier to resolve if so. Unfortunately, when it comes to Personal Training our Fitness Director has to submit cancellations and refunds. His name is Martin Silva and his email is ******@onelifefitness.com. I am happy to help with the membership side of things and I'm sorry for any confusion but all we have ever offered is a 12 month agreement. Relocation is one of the ways to get out of your contract without penalty so with relocation proof we could have cancelled you when you moved. Please confirm if you have any medical documentation and I can have your membership cancelled and follow up with Martin regarding your personal training. Mike was who signed you up for your membership and Klay for Personal Training, they both are the best at what they do. Since you signed both the membership and personal training agreements, it's hard to believe that neither of them misinformed you but if you can provide medical documentation then I'm happy to see what we can do to have everything cancelled and a refund approved. Thank you!Initial Complaint

I agreed to what I was led to believe a month to month membership with One Life Fitness membership. I am a travel nurse and have since left the area where I joined this gym. I attempted to cancel my membership and now the company is claiming the membership is for one year. I feel this is wrong and this company has no more claim to my money since I am no longer in the area to use the facilityBusiness response

I visited the North Frederick Onelife gym on Saturday April 23rd and spoke with a membership consultant about joining the gym to use the pool for lap swimming. The membership consultant indicated that the pool was open from 5am on weekdays, I indicated that I wanted to swim early before going to work so 5am was a good time for me. At noon on Monday April 25 I registered online to join Onelife and agreed to pay the initial processing fee of $49 and the prorated April membership of $9 with a credit card. The confirmation e-mail stated that I would receive a call from the Fitness Director to schedule a Smartstart and to go to the gym to get my membership card made. I did not receive a call that day, I did not get any follow-up membership e-mail and my credit card had not been billed, so I called the gym and asked the front desk clerk if I could go in early the next morning to use the pool even if I did not have a card. The clerk said that I could and they could check me in using the computer even if I did not have a membership card. I went in at 5AM on Tuesday April 26 and was told that the pool was closed, had been closed for the past 2 weeks because they did not have a lifeguard. I asked when they expected to have a lifeguard and was told that maybe in 2 weeks. At noon on Tuesday April 26 I called the gym and spoke with Mike who said he was a manager, explained the situation and he agreed to cancel my membership and indicated I should not be getting billed. The next day I called to confirm with the front desk staff that I was no longer in their system, which they confirmed. On April 27 I was billed $58 from "US Fitness Corporate" and on May 2nd $49 from "Onelife Fitness 49". I had joined under the understanding that the pool was open at 5am, which was a false and deceiving statement from the Fitness Manager. I am getting billed by a gym for which I am not a member. I request full refund of the charges, which total $106 and removal from their billing system.Initial Complaint

I used to belong to ****, a gym in Germantown, MD. After the pandemic hit, I didn't go back to the gym. When **** announced they were closing and selling to onelife, I requested that my membership be cancelled. It apparently wasn't and onelife started billing my credit card. In December 2021 I wrote to onelife in keeping with their policy of cancelling in writing. I did not receive a response. There was no billing in January. In February, March and April, however, I have been billed the regular monthly charge for the gym. How do I get them to stop without having to resort to legal proceedings?Initial Complaint

I asked the club at the end of December how to cancel my membership as the promised cleaning methods during COVID-19 and requirements were not being performed and I did not feel safe. They gave me the Membership email and I sent a cancellation request. I have not heard back from my 4 emails to their customer service and today called the club again to be told it was canceled but for the next month. I feel that this is an intentional scam and they are avoiding my emails (even though I receive confirmations they are received). The club is not safe and does not follow appropriate jurisdictional guidelines for safety and I have verification in writing to the manager and correspondence back regarding this. If they had not breached their agreement with me I would have never canceled however that was not the case. I waited out my agreement and sent notice, I would like my $39.99 back with no further bulling (my contract ended in 12/21) and we go our separate ways.
