****TY SERVICE

I joined this gym in 2022 but in the past 3 months the service has been nothing short of ****TY from the sales consultants. I requested a conversion as I had changed medical aids and had a new vitality membership.

I came in on 4 Jan to get the conversion sorted out. An appointment was booked for 4 pm with Lindo, he was not here and I was told someone else would assist me. The guy that assisted me apparently didnt do due diligence as my debit order for Jan was INCORRECT! I come back and Lindo tells me some story about how he had to attend to another client elsewhere (then why book the date and time if you wont honour it??) For some reason this "jot form" hardly works.... I come in, the lady at the front says the jot form isn't working, I go have my session and on my way out I meet Lindo who tells me the jot form is working and his colleagues dont know what they are talking about. We are almost done with the jot form when he says I shouldnt change my banking details as the change wont happen swiftly if the banking details arent the same. I change the banking details but forget to change the bank name (same guy who insisted on checking my every step like I am some child missed this part). He goes to the back to "check" and while he is gone, I notice that we have the wrong bank on the details.... I complete the jot form again... Lindo come back and I tell him that I have changed the details and corrected the bank name... He tells me I chose the wrong Lindo on the list of consultants so he will make use of the first form that we submitted and just make a note for the banking details to be changed

Side note: This lindo gent is quite condescending in his approach. He also told me to go get my refund from the bank. I must go tell the bank to reverse a debit mandate that I signed up for because planet fitness ****ED UP????? Why is this a client problem????????????

Anyway... Lindo tells me he will make sure all is fixed... I dont hear from him all week until I visit the gym on a Thursday, He tell me he checked and we need to do it again (so if I hadnt come to the gym, I wouldnt have been informed?)

On that day, I had had enough of his tone, and I remember the look on his face as he chuckled asking me "should I rather get you another consultant". this is after I told him not to patronise me. I said we can sit and fix it but he mustn't patronise me. I was told a Nic is at the back but cant help me because he is busy with another client.

I returrned on the saturday and a Lady named Milly helped me. She even gave me a reference number assuring me that my account would run as it should... Please tell me why I just woke up to ANOTHER INCORRECT DEBIT ORDER!!!!!!!

It is 08:12 and I am sitting at the gym asking that they fix it. Funny enough the manager is off and so I guess in his abscence there is absolutely no one to assist?

PLANET FITNESS, AT THIS POINT I DONT EVEN WANT MY ACCOUNT CREDITED AS PROMISED LAST MONTH, I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

How are you the biggest one in centurion and yet your consultants are so ***********!!!!!!!

Good day

THIS IS A LIE!!!!!!!!!! I just got off the call with your sales manager Dale who is telling me that someone forgot to press the send button to process my refund. I have been following up since last week. Last week a lady calls me telling me she got the instruction but isn't sure why I should be refunded. Then the story moved to activation fees.

So had I not followed up, I would be sitting here once again thinking you guys are actually actioning my refund. I am being told I need to wait ANOTHER 2 WEEKS! Another 2 weeks? When someone signs up for the gym you make sure to follow all process to ensure that the debit will go off, but a refund for your mess has to see your clients chasing?

Come on guys!

Will I be billed incorrectly this month as well? One will have to wait and see

I called again today and no feedback on when this refund will be processed.

I will update on here until I see the money reflecting in my account. I will post on instagram and twitter every single day.

I am not waiting another 2 weeks for a refund when the 2 weeks is expiring tomorrow. The consultant that I spoke too this morning noted that there is a note that Dale made yesterday (he has been super helpful and did his part in ensuring a refund is possible), but there is no other feedback.

Your lovely consultant called at 1pm to note that there is no feedback and the sales manager, despite receiving messages/requests to call me back has left the gym and will not be working the weekend. Week 2 ends with no conclusive solution in sight

I have called your branch this morning. Your sales manager is either in a meeting or I call and they say they can't hear me or they pass me onto someone who expects me to re-tell my story again. COME ON! COME ON GUYS! This can't be the service you pride yourselves in

I got a call on Monday from a different person that wanted me to retell my story. I am then told that PF is still calculating my refund. Wasn't this done in the past 2 weeks?

I got no correspondence yesterday, so I called again today. The sales assistant is still "busy" and I can't be assisted. So I called the contact centre and spoke to a lady who noted that NO refund had been processed as yet. So I have waited and waited, but there was no refund processed. She took my bankng details and said I need to wait another 15 working days for the refund to be processed.

From 26 of Feb there is still no money in my account in sight. I called again today (because if I dont chase after PF for my money, they wont bother calling). I spoke to a gentleman called Thabang who for the first time didnt make me retell my story or ask silly questions that should already be on record. My case has not been actioned since yesterday. He says he will call tomorrow... lets see how long it will take to get my money back.
