We apologize that this issue has taken so long to get resolved and that this incident occurred in the first place.We went in and zeroed out months on your current membership as a courtesy so that you weren't being charged while we resolve the issue. Unfortunately, all of the payments were made in cash so we have to issue a check from our accounting department. I have reached out and am waiting to hear back about when the check is sent out via mail. I apologize if you have found it difficult to get in contact with me, My AGM, ******, and I have made sure to keep you updated. We will continue to do so until we help you get your refund back!Initial Complaint

I have been trying to cancel my membership with this business for the past 3 months as I have a medical issue that prohibits me from doing anything except walking or water exercises. I have gone to the gym multiple times over the past 3 months to cancel my membership, and each time I am told that they can not cancel my membership as there is not manager on site and only managers can cancel memberships. I have gotten charged $44.49 for the past 3 or more months and I have not used their facilities.So I am being forced to pay because there is never any manager there when I go after work. It was not this hard to get a membership, it should not be this hard to cancel. I would like to have my membership cancelled and have the last 3 months that I paid refunded.Business response
