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.

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...

Let me tell you my court case with California Fitness.
When I renew my membership the 2nd time, the orchard club manager offered me to upgrade my plan to a 36month+24month for $1799. After that I just need to pay $88 per year. After the end of 36month, the staff at Bugis pressured me to sign up. I took the contract and show them I have another 24months. They photocopy the contract 3 times but each time I enter the club, I was told the same story. Finally I want to meet the Bugis Club manager and show him my contract (I have to carry my contract every time). After a few months he denied that my contract copy is valid. I went to Case but was told I am not the only one and the most Case can only get back one year for me. I filed to Small Claim court. The Novena Manager called me to go down and I showed him my copy. He denied that my contract is valid and offer to compensate me only one year. He made no apologies for whole matter. I challenge them to the court. At the court after 2 round, I managed to get about 18months. Please think carefully if you want to renew your membership with this company as they do not honour their words.
