Business ProfileforAnytime Fitness Waynesville

The issue occurred with the the Anytime Fitness in ***********, MO.   In April of this year, I met with an office person at the *********** location, informed him I would be retiring from the **** and leaving the area permanently in the end of August. I also told him that I would be away for 3 months for an internship but would want to use my membership, if possible, for the month of August as I would be back before leaving for good. I was presented an option to put my account on hold, for a fee, then it would resume after 2 months for me to use. Last week I went into the *********** location to cancel my membership as the end of August is approaching and I am leaving the area permanently. This is just as I described on my first visit to put my account on hold. I have met all contract obligations that I have with Anytime Fitness and pay month to month. When I notified Anytime Fitness that I was ready to terminate my membership, I was told that I would be charged an additional month because I did not give them 30 day notice. I was told this was the rules of the new ownership. First off, I signed up around August or September of 2020, which I believe was the old ownership rules and did not require 30 day notice. Second, and more importantly, I was explicitly clear in April that I would be cancelling my membership in the end of August. THEN would have been the time to notify me that I had to sign paperwork a month out or that should have served as a notice of cancellation.
