Where do I even start...
I'm not even getting into the fact that they screwed me out of hundreds of dollars by way of intentionally misleading verbiage and outright deception. I've already sent my cancellation letter and I'm currently trying to negotiate a price to buy myself out of the PT program.
The first trainer I ever had there was fired after not too long. He was 20 years old, was very inexperienced, and I find it hard to believe he was a certified trainer. I was then assigned another trainer. While this...classy individual knew what he was doing as far as training goes, he made me so uncomfortable that I left and couldn't come back until I learned he was gone.
He would have me walk up and down a side stairwell with weights during some sessions, which a lot of the trainers do. However, this guy repeatedly slapped me on the rear end, and at one point attempted to kiss me in the middle of a training session. This is borderline sexual assault and completely unacceptable! He was even calling my cell phone asking me to "hook up"! When I told the GM what was happening, it took them another month or so before they canned him, probably for something unrelated.
I felt very unsafe at this club. I feel prayed upon physically and financially. In fact, I felt the all-male staff were ALL a bit too "friendly" with me. I really shouldn't have to worry about being groped and cat-called when I go to work out!
Young ladies, stay away! If you go, bring along the biggest, meanest male friend you have for protection!
Oh no, this is absolutely true! Sexual assault is something I take very seriously and I would never fabricate a story about such a thing. The "attention" I received from that trainer and some of the other employees was neither welcome nor flattering.
