Has anyone reported LA Boxing to the Better Business Bureau? I think it's about time.

I went for the annual membership and paid up front to save money...WRONG! The LA Boxing center I joined closed and the fine print on the contract stated they can transfer you to the nearest center. So I paid for a club a mile from my house and couldn't get my money back. Worse yet the smaller print said there was on automatic renewal. So just when I thought the nightmare was over I got a charge on my credit card. Thats when it got really bad. I had to deal with their billing company who would put me on hold for a long time and then send me a letter adding late charges! If you sign a long term deal you could get burned cause they will transfer you to some club miles from your house...and charge you late fees while you try to get out of the deal. Sleezy, guys, really sleezy.

Do not sign a contract with LA Boxing. In may 2008 they changed all there class times and could no longer attend class but was still using the treadmill. From June to July once to twice a week they would shut down in the middle of the day (1pm to 3pm) unannounced and when they wwere suppost to be open. I called the mgr. several times to complain and he always had a eacuss to why he abruptly closed for a few hours. Such as : went out to eat, ran errands, etc. After 6 weeks of working around there schedule i asked to cancel my membership. Jon said no problem. I called the next day an he said he had taken care of it. my membership had been terminated. I asked if i could have a refund for Julys dues(I pd on july 9th and this was the 10th) he told me no. so i asked if i could use the rest of my month. he told me no again. The first of sept. i received a bill stating i owed for Aug. and Sept. I tried calling ASF but there system was down and told me to call back later. So i called the gym and jon assured me he had taken care of the cancellation but he would check on everything. Now I'm trying to get hold of Jon to make sure that everything had been taken care of but he answer the phone or return my calls and after getting another bill i go to LA Boxing to see whats going on. Jon informs me that 'he didn't know he did not have the authority to terminate anyones membership'. I then filled out a cancellation form and he gave the email and phone # for the general mgr, Vladimir. I emailed and called him/ left messages for him everyday for 2weeks. I finally got a hold of him and told him the situation and that i want to cancel the membership. He told me things had changed and they were now following the schedule and he wanted to meet with me. i showed up for the meeting at the gym but he did not. I called to see what was going on and he wanted me to wait another 30 min. i informed him i was on my lunch break and need to get back to work. he said he would call to reschedule but never did. since then they will not return my calls and ASF told me that the gym were i signed up at is the only place to terminate my membership. It is now 6 mo later and i am taking them to small claims court. WARNING NEVER SIGN A CONTRACT TO LA BOXING, they will screw you!!!
