JUST SAY NO to Body of Change PLEASE!

body-unchanged Posts: 1 Joined: 2003/08/26	2003/08/28, 10:37 PM A friendly warning: I made the biggest mistake of my life by being pursuaded into signing a contract that I am now locked into and has cost me ALOT of hard-earned money with absolutely nothing but confusion,over -whelming stress and an extra 25 lbs of fat to show for it. I just hope to help at least one person avoid this nightmare. I've learned more from this site in my 2 free visits than in the 2 years of training that has cost me thousands! Any LA Fitness members please avoid Body of Change at all costs! It is not worth it!

Due to work schedule and special circumstances, I informed them that I could only work out at 4 am. This was fine for the first 2 months, and then no trainers were available any longer at that time. When I did finally get a trainer, she put me on my usual circuit and told me to keep up the reps until I could do no more. I asked her if she had been informed of my knee and shoulder problems (no cartlidge) and she stated that no one had told her anything about me. When I first talked with Body of Change in the presence of the manager and trainer, I was told that we had a gentlemans agreement to cancel any time I wanted with 30 days notice. When I attempted to cancel, I had to try for 4 days to contact the person I was told could help me, with no response to my Voice mail. When I did finally get the right person, I was told to read the contract. There are no verbal agreements, and I would owe them 50% of the contract to get out of the contract. I explained all my concerns and lack of trainers, and was informed that it was too bad, but I had signed the contract and it was binding. No excuses were acceptable for termination. Stay AWAY!

Kind of too bad though - I had a really good trainer and the new LA Fitness training rates are more than double the old rates.
