The Bugis California Fitness Centre Report

»

Paul Delima gives a detailed report on the new California Fitness Centre in Bugis:

When I arrived there, I saw the signs, advertising "75% off enrollment" and "Only $58 monthly", a quick calculation in my head revealed that would work out to $2 bucks a day if I went everyday, compared to $2.50 for the Tampines per entry. "This is pretty good," I thought to myself, "why didn't I join earlier"

Find out how he changed his mind after unravelling a vast conspiracy.

I renewed my membership in 2005 and was told that I only need to pay $8 per year renewal after the 36 mths membership. They cancelled the printed $0 renewal rate and handwritten $8 per year over it. Now that the 36 mths is over.. California fitness refuse to honor the renewal fee. The reason given was that there was no signature on the handwritten amendment. At the point of signing the contract, I ask if the handwritten amendment is valid and the sales consultant said "Yes!".

The same issue happened to my friend whom we sign up together. Worse still, another friend who renewed her membership a weeks earlier got her renewal membership changed from $9/ mth to $8/ year after she used our contract to fight for her right. Her renewal rate is honor although the contract did not have any signature on it. (btw the same sales consultant attend to all 3 of us.

Went to CASE and nothing can be done. All I can say is.... California Fitness is all out to cheat us!!! Very disappointed....

I am a victim too. Sign up for infinity plan at Jacky Chan club, sent cheque for renewal fee as I was in and out of country for that year. Subsequently, they claimed they did not receive and revoke my membership. Will be seeking CASE for help after reading the threads posted here. They are terrible and have inhuman staff. After reading these threads, think government should suspend their business licence and return all monies back to the members.

hi,
can share how your friend managed to get her contract renewed at that low rate? my sister and I are now facing the same problem as yours. We were promised by the sales of the $8 deal. but now when my contract about to expire, they are telling me, they are processing it, sending the request for the management for approval. This is what I was told, 3wks ago, till now, still PROCESSING!! so 'efficient'

Hi
You are very lucky that your renewal fees is S$8/- only. I took up the infinity package last year and the renewal fees is S$169/-, when it was agreed to be the same as the introducer at S$88/-........

How to win this case? Should continue or not is a headache now...
