I purchased a membership on 1/12/2015 via the internet/website. By that weekend, when I went to work out, the club was locked down and doors CLOSED with a notice from the LandLord stating that they were locked out for not paying their rent. DATED 1/9/2015. Several days later, they re-opened and when I asked the employee what happened ( being a new member, I felt I had every right to be concerned ) I was advised that it was no big deal and that everything was resolved with the LandLord and that they were operating as usual. I have been back 3 times over the past week and the gym was closed down yet again. The notice states, the building is being foreclosed on. Today, the doors were unlocked and there was a Gold\'s Gym at Hwy 6 and Clay honoring the Blast Membership and this Blast Center is officially CLOSED for good.\r\nThe Gold\'s gym is between 9 and 11 minutes further away than the Blast Gym was according to Mapquest.com\r\nBarker Cypress Rd 5.71 miles\r\n10 mins / 11 mins based on current traffic\r\nHighway 6 N 6.52 miles\r\n9 mins / 9 mins based on current traffic\r\nI was advised to cancel the membership by the desk clerk who provided me with a sticky note with \r\n888 827 9262 and an account number of 035906757 hand written on it.\r\nI called and spoke to Marisol. I was on this call for a total of 33 minutes.\r\nShe put me on several holds during this time and came back to inform me that she is going to charge me a cancellation fee of $ 54.00. \r\nSo, I paid 23.00 to start my membership on 1/12/2015 ( I am still within my first 30 days of my membership as of today ), they then charged me another $23.00 auto debit ACH withdrawal from my account on 1/22/2015 for the next months fees for their 30 days cancellation requirements. NOW she is telling me that not only do I have to give them my additional $23.00 for February\'s dues ( EVEN though they do not have a facility for me to work out in my area now and I will not be able to utilize their membership for the next 30 days which I have already paid for ) but now I am paying ANOTHER $ 54.00 FEE even though they did not pay their rent on their building and they got evicted due to non payment.\r\nSince, this, I have looked online and have found HUNDREDS of other locations nationwide who have done this very exact thing to their members repeatedly in city to city to city. I believe this company is running a SCAM. They open a fitness club and establish a clientel and then get everyones bank info. Then once they hit a certain amount of members or a certain time frame, they CLOSE their doors at that location and KEEP everyone\'s money and from what I see, continue charging for memberships to facilities that do not exist. Please HELP.
I had membership wih blast fitness. I was told that there was no contract and it was month to month and I could cancel ANYTIME. I found that I never really used the membership so on approx 7/20/14, I went in person to the gym in Margate and spoke with a male employee at the desk who said it was no problem. That he just needed to send an email to corporate as they needed to do it. It was all of a few minutes and I was out the door. No problem right? NOT, I did not realize untill sept that I was still being charged as the charge caused an overdraft and when I realized the cause of the fee, I realized, I had still be being charged since my request to cancel. I called my bank, who transfered me to the claims dept. Only issue was that I was working and could not remain on hold any longer. I decided at that point to just consider it a loss and decided that i would just cancel my card so they could not charge anymore. I got caught up and did not cancel my card and low and behold another charge for 52 dollars pending. I then got on the phone again with my bank and contested all charges in the last 60days as I could not go back to july. My own stupidity for trusting they would cancel and stop charging. I also put a stop payment on my card for anything from their bussiness. I will now never join any company that requires you do auto payment on a card or your acct, month to month or not. BIIIIIG RIP. they evern charged $5 once, for what. this was recent and I havn' t been there since july? thank g=d is done and they can't sheist anymore money for my account!!
