LA Fitness They tricked you into buying a membership that they say you could cancel anytime, then when you want to cancel, they changed the story and refused to refund my my money. OAK Brook IL

They are con artists. When you go in to get a quote, they''ll turn it into a whole ceremony. They quote you  A LOT, thowing a lot of info at you-- they all get more expensive than the last, but they make them sound so sensible. There's a catch. It's not as straight forward as it sounds.

First they quote the the staright forward month to month fees. They tell you you can cancel any time. Then they telll  you if you pay the total annual amount upfront, they give you a handsome discount and it looks so much cheaper than month to month. It's a lot easier this way so you don''t have to pay a monthly bill, so you do it.

However, if your circumstances change and you need to cancel, you get the surprise of your life. They get complicated, They say its a membership, therefore not cancellabe. They don't give you your money back. They tell you that the contract you signed does not allow you to cancel. I don't know wherethey came up with this lop sided rule that it's a membership -- then what's a month to month? Is that not also a membership?

Yet initially they tell you that you can cancel ANY Time, no problem with that whatsover. They reel you in, mislead you then use bait and switch tactics and an airtight contract with all manner of hidden legal language in tiny print that you're not going to catch. These are the same tactics that they used when they were Bally's Fitness. They changed their name but the same old dirty tactics remain. 

Don't join these con artists.
