I walked into Spa Health Clubs to get my husband a gift certificate for a massage. When I walked in I was showed a brochure for a massage and then quickly asked me if I was currently working out. I said now and that I was very interested in joining a club, but I didn't want to pay a lot I didn't want to be locked into anything and he therefore offered me that he would reduce the price for the joiner fee and that my monthly payments would only be $29.00 a month. It was great and we started going over the contract. As I read through I specifically mentioned a part of the contract stating I was bound to the contract for 30 months. I asked him why he put that down; because I wasn't sure I wanted to be a member for that long. He said that he just had to put down that length of time for the contract but that I could quit before then if I wanted. I then asked him if there was an early cancellation fee or if I would be charged for quitting early. He told me no. So I continued to sign. I read that I had to move 8 miles from my current location and 30 miles from the health club or one of its affiliates, or become injured. I asked him again if this was the only way to get out of the contract and he said I could quit when I needed to that the contract is just a formality of becoming a member. I said ok, trusting him and signed. I was very excited to now be a member and couldn't wait to work out. I went to work the next day and told my co workers how I had gotten a great deal at Spa Health Clubs. My coworker told me his story of being locked into contract and being very unhappy and being threatened with collections. Another coworker told me of a lost check she had written, and a bounced check which had resulted in the Sheriff at a friend of hers door step. When I was told these things, it concerned me but I just though they were just flukes. I told my coworker that I got a great deal and could cancel my contract when ever I like. He was baffled. The first session was ok; the second time I came to the spa they approached me for, special pills. This time the training was even worse, from that 3rd day on wards each day was going worst and I started believing my co workers and decided to quit, here the story reveled that they refused to cancel and if I cancelled I had to pay cancellation fees. So guys decided whether its fruitful wasting your money here.
