On 08-25-2004 I was contacted by a sales person from a Bally's Club saying I won a free week to workout. I went to the club to accept my week pass and was talked into signing up for a 30 day money back guarantee deal.

How can you go wrong with a written guarantee? The salesman began typing up my "30 day" contract and asked me if any of my family members would like a pass to workout with me. I named my kids and boyfriend.

He hands me the contract and it's for one year and he had listed my kids and boyfriend. I said to him that I didn't want them on my contract because they may not want to go to the gym.

He said not to worry because at the end of my 30 day trial offer all I need to do is redo my contract and take them off. He said it's best to leave them on there because they may decide to go with me and swim or jump into the sauna. Then he added "you don't want to go through more paper work. It'll only slow you down."

I took the contract with only 50% sure that I'd join for a year at that gym. The guy wore me down just selling me a silly 30 day deal.

The only way to qualify for the 30 day deal is to workout for 12 days out of 30. And if you're not satisfied then you request in writing that Bally's Total Fitness provide buyer with a full refund of all membership fee and dues (if any) paid to Bally's to date for Member's membership and cancel Member's membership, in accordance with the official rules set out on the back of the guarantee.

I did 15 days and told the sales people that I was going to cancel. I mailed a letter and believed it was done with untill I received a bill for the amount of $2,936.00
I am still disputing these charges that are now on my credit report.
