Complaint Regarding Unfair Gym Membership Terms

Dear Planet Fitness,

I am writing to express my frustration with your membership policies, which I find to be unfair and inconsiderate of personal circumstances.

I joined Planet Fitness last year, but I am now unable to attend the gym because my child is under the age of 7, and your facilities do not cater to or allow children. As a single parent without access to a babysitter, this makes it impossible for me to use the services I am paying for.

When I attempted to cancel my contract, I was informed that I would need to pay an upfront fee equivalent to four months of membership. Unfortunately, I cannot afford this amount, and I feel it is unreasonable to impose such a financial burden in these circumstances.

Despite my request to cancel, payments continue to be deducted from my bank account each month. This means I am now forced to pay for an additional 14 months of membership, even though I cannot use the gym. I find this policy exploitative and completely unfair.

I urge you to review this situation and provide a reasonable resolution. I should not be penalized for circumstances beyond my control, and it is unacceptable to require payment for a service I am unable to use.

Hi,
It's been two days since my comment, and I have yet to receive a response. I have made seven or eight attempts to contact your call center to finalize this cancellation, but I either don’t receive assistance or am told that the right person is unavailable and will call me back—yet no one ever does. This level of service is highly inefficient and frustrating.
