I am writing on behalf of my best friend, who does not need to be named. My friend joined the Bally Total Fitness in Alexandria, VA on October 2008. She needed help with her fitness and assumed she bought the second best package they had. Along with the 3 year contract she was suckered into came a free personal training session. The FREE personal training session was with Eyaya Fetene Zeleke and went great. He was a very knowledgeable trainer according to her. She didn't buy the personal training package that day but was considering it.

Cutting to the chase...On October 28, 2008 (Few weeks after joining) this animal contacted my friend and told her he had a cancellation from one of his clients and asked if she wanted to take advantage of another personal training session. My friend agreed. That day she was brutally raped and sodomize by this monster. He was recently convicted and sentenced to 30 years on March 5, 2009. Even after letting Bally's know about what happened and having the Alexandria Victims Program write on her behalf, Bally's still refuse to let her out of her contract and sends her bills every month. Please let me know what I can do to help my friend. I am just seeking advice. As of now she is healing and unable to handle this herself.

Bally Total Fitness UPDATE!!!

AUTHOR: Anonymous - Las Vegas (U.S.A.)

SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 24, 2009

Just found out from my best friend that Bally's did indeed reimbursed her. Not sure the total amount and why it took so long to release her from this contract. Either way, it still doesn't excuse the fact that this company hired a convicted felon who later raped my friend. I think they need to improve their screening process since most of their male personal trainers are working with female clients. Hope everyone who was screwed by this company, gets their money back as well. Don't get discouraged. Stand up for yourself and hang in there.
