Weโre very sorry to hear about your recent experience at Fitness 19 Sylmar, especially after you and your family have been members with us for so many years. Long-term members are extremely important to our gym community, and we regret that this visit left you feeling disappointed and undervalued. Cleanliness, well-maintained workout equipment, and a welcoming fitness environment are priorities for our company. Your concerns about dust, restrooms, weight racks, and overall gym cleanliness have been shared with local management so they can review our cleaning standards, staffing routines, and maintenance needs at the club. We understand how important it is for members to feel comfortable and confident when using the gym. Weโre also sorry to hear about the experience your wife and son had when asking about a first-time visit. As a reminder, we offer a one-time 3-day trial to all first-time visitors. After the 3-day trial expires, we require the purchase of a membership or day pass to access the gym.

Hi Mrs Kurfess, We apologize for any misunderstanding in regards to canceling your membership. Iโd like to clear up as much as I can to help put you at ease. 1. ABC financial is our partner billing company. They are based in the United States and have a secure billing system that meets all PCI compliance regulations to ensure our members billing info is safe. They are the largest fitness billing company in the US and used by some of the biggest fitness companies. One of the reasons we choose them to handle the billing, along with many others, is their security of our members billing. 2. Your membership is pending because we allow our members to access the gym for an additional 30 days during the cancelation period. If your account status goes straight to cancel then our front desk team will not know that you may still have access. I know you moved and will probably not come any longer but your account will move to canceled after the 30 day period automatically. 3. We moved the cancelation process to online or email to prevent members from having to drive down to the gym to cancel. We require a signature or written notice on file to confirm your cancelation. We wouldnโt be able to p

Unauthorized charges applied after membership termination
Business reply on Google
Hi Joss, sorry to hear your frustration. All accounts with Fitness 19 when cancelling are part of a 30 day notice which would mean a last billing would occur, the service you pay for however would allow additional 30 day access. I would speak with the Club Manager Jose, he may be able to help with any clarity for you on the membership or cancellation process. Hope this helps you, in good health Fitness 19 .
