    I bought Better 5 exercise senior program. My impression was it was a one time charge, however I have been charged an additional$ 35 per month. Four weeks ago I tried to cancel the program, today I have another charge on my bank account. Again, I have reached out to cancel the program. My calls reach out to automated messages and a msg fails to send. I have yet to talk to a real person. All I want to do is to discontinue this exercise program. I have been diagnosed with cancer and cannot exercise for several months. This company should have a way to contact them! When I telephone them, I get offers of free things I do not needall automated voices!

    ****** purchased two digital classes on February 24th. This purchase was made under the same email address that they made this dispute with. I have uploaded a picture of their receipt to this show.

    This is an online company that promotes senior exercises. I looked into it but cancelled trial. I now have 2 charged on my **** account from this company. I have mailed them and tried calling only to get no response. I believe they are taking advantage of seniors and then charging if them monthly even if they cancel. The first chg. was Jan 30 followed by another charge Feb 1st. The comments seem to be positive but could be made up?! How do I warn others and also get my money back when they won’t let you contact/talk to them?! I believe this is a big ****.
