I have been getting charged for the last 6 weeks for a trainer that I did not want. When I called to cancel that charge that was occurring I was told I had to meet with the guy in charge and he never showed up multiple times when he scheduled to meet with them. All the staff just kept saying he left and he would not answer my calls until the next day to reschedule another time to never meet.. They will not allow me to cancel my membership or refund any money for the training sessions I did not want or attend. This business is horrible to the customers and they are trying to drain your pockets by force. I would not recommend anyone sign up here. I am in the process of getting my bank to block them from making transaction on my account because they wont stop to allow me to cancel.Business response

when they signed me up they did not go over the full contract with me and signed me into a lifetime agreement that i was unaware about. they are now refusing to discontinue my membership and it may have a chance to mess with my credit score considering i had to tell my bank to stop authorizing charges from them. i dont use the facility and just wanted to switch gyms. the contract they signed me under was under false pretenses and i would like for my future to not be affected all due to a gym membership.Business response

***************************,
Came in on April 13. Interested in a membership. After a thorough tour of the gym and all the amenities and packages. ******* agreed to the 24 month Diamond Ultra Plus-
We immediately provide an email of the contract. We also let them know they can locate the contract in their club life app which is installed the same day.
Shianne came into cancel more then a month later because she was moving The contract states if a member moves 35 miles outside of MAC GYM- We will cancel for $150 dollars
Shianne did not meet the requirement nor did she provide two pieces of needed to corroborate the movewe also offered working with her on her balance to catch her up and get back on track- the offer still stands to work on waiving her back fees and getting her current

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of why I am rejecting this response appear below:
I am not moving more than the 35 miles away, therefore it doesnt meet the requirements. The only other option out of the membership that they have provided me with is death or permanent disability. However, I cannot commute to this gym and was signed up under false pretenses. I would like to attend another gym closer to me that suits my needs and is more professional as multiple people have had this same complaint. I am not interested in having a membership at all and would like that terminated immediately along with any of the fees I owe them. I stopped using the facility immediately after I was treated inappropriately by the owner, therefore my money should not be going to services I have not used. I paid for the month of May and stopped using the facility at the end of May.
Regards,

I have tried countless times to end my membership with this establishment and every time its a new hoop to jump through which leads you no where, customer service is barely at the front desk or answering the phone to assist you and many others have been charged after being told their membership was ended, rather you have a medical reason moving out of state or anything they will continue to charge you, they lie about memberships or will falsely put you on a contract that you weren't even aware of, I was told by word of mouth someone had to get a lawyer involved just to end a membership as a scare tactic, I left the gym was still charged and needed to call my bank to have them with hold payments. I would strongly recommend any gym goers to give your money to any other gym and not support this business, disappointed none the least.Business response

We spoke with the member and made a determination to cancel the agreement as a courtesy. The member is elated and said they are removing the BBB complaint. We also extended an additional 3 mo credit should they decide to come back.Initial Complaint

So this all started in October of 2021 when me and my friend and brother walked into the mall. When we walked in this guy approached us and asked us about this gym and my friends insisted we listen. So we go in and theyre talking about the benefits and how it will be. So we get to the end and theyre pressing the issue to get us to join and they were hounding us to sign. They never gave us a contract to look over or anything just had us sign. I thought I was signing cause of my debit card they didnt explain anything. So fast forward to march 2022 they had me come in to resolve the issue. Yet again didnt explain everything and made it seem like I was paying less but in reality I was paying more. They told me the contract would be finalized in 3 days. When I go to look at the contract it states you have 3 days to cancel after signing but I didnt receive a contract till after the 3 days. So I decided I was just going to go because whats done is done. I went for a few days and I couldnt do it anymore. It was too much money for me since at my job I was getting my hours dropped and I didnt have enough money to pay. So I stopped paying. One of the guys, ****, contacted me asking whats up and I told him I could pay anymore it was too much. So he told me he would keep in touch and try and work something out because I said I could pay $300 right then and there to close my account. At this point it was a stress thinking how I could cancel because how I didnt have any money and had lost hours at work on top off paying for my basic needs. He kept getting me to come in and talk it over but I didnt want to do that. He kept telling me he look over. He said he could get back with me and never did. Few months later I noticed a huge hit on my credit and was thinking like I never received any calls or emails or even mail. Im just mad that it all started with them hounding us to pay an amount when they first caught us in the mall. I just want this issue resolved.Business response

We reached out and inform ************ that the agreement was still due, our regional manager also, let us know in an attempt to chat with ************ he had informed our regional manager the only acceptable resolution would be cancellation. Which was not an option. We will be here if ************ decides to reach out. He can also reach us at:

I signed up for this gym on 3/25/22 through the 'Fitness your Way' program for a six month period with no renewal checked on the contract through ********** of ********** to get some exercise. I had regrets after I signed up and had 3 days to cancel, but no managers were around for the three days after I signed up to cancel . I worked with a personal trainer during the six months at $60.00 a week out of my pocket. I had planned on renewing the agreement and met with a manager on Tuesday, September 21st for the renewal, he told me it was taken care of. On Wednesday September 21st I received a call from MO at the gym to come in and renew again, I told him I had taken care of that already. On Sunday, September 25th I found out my membership had been deactivated and on Monday the 26th no money was being deducted. I decided not to renew my membership as I didn't enjoy working out at gym with the trainer. Things were fine until yesterday, October 17th when a posting for $60.00 shows up on my bank statement from MAC GYM PEAKSERVE. COM. I am no longer a member of the gym and don't understand why they started deducting from my checking account. I hope you would be able to help me end my problem with MAC Gym.Thank you,*****************Business response
