LAFitness is a ripoff. Due to personal constraints, I was unable to take the training lessons for which I had contracted for, but I was still required to pay a full year's fee for the training sessions. I accepted this decision because afterall, I had signed on the dotted line. However, when I was told by Alicia the representative for membership, that I did not contact them before a 6 day grace period for cancellation, they were going to still charge me for another month, I was furious at the company's audacity. The final payment according to the contract was today 08/02/2010, so the question is when does the 6 day notification period start? LAFitness is a company of accessive greed and lacks moral scruples. They received membership payment from me for a full year and trainer's fees for that same period and I received no service, but they still want more. SHAME on such an unscrupulous company - LAFitness! Moreover, they are the most evasive company in which to contact directly because they know they are not fair business and consumer practitioners. My next step is to contact the Better Business Bureau. While it may not change the situation, it will put LAFittness on notice that they can't continue to cheat their customers.
