      This February the rate of Jersey Strong memberships increased by $9.99/mo. +tax. The new monthly dues rate for our members began billing on their regularly scheduled bill date in February 2022. To notify our members of the increase prior to February, we sent several notification emails beginning November 2021, posted information in the club, as well as on our website and social media outlets.  

      According to our records, Mr. **** opted out of our email notifications. Had ************ contacted us sooner we would have been happy to explain the increase to him; however, there was no inquiry received prior to 10/5/2022.  Upon receipt of the request on 10/5 his membership was set to be cancelled on 10/31/2022.  

      As no prior request was received, there is no refund due.

      If ************ has any additional questions, he may contact us directly by submitting a request to support.jerseystrong.com.

      Have been trying to cancel my gym membership and it is almost impossible. They say cancel anytime but when I went in to the gym personally to do it no one would help me. I was handed a piece of paper with my agreement number on it and told to do it online, can't get it to go through online! I called *** billing the third party ****** for this gym and they were not able to help me much either. They told me I needed to send an email stating I want to cancel. I'm just not understanding why they had no problem aggressively almost pressuring me into joining when I went there to look around and ask one simple question. They were very helpful trying to get me to join but now that I am trying to leave that place due to many reasons which I will not get into no one seems to want to be able to help me and it's almost like everyone involved is purposely making it impossible. I would hate to have to take this any further and I just want to cancel my membership and not have any further payments recur

      Have attempted to cancel my sons membership but to no avail , I was continually told that nobody could assist me at that time. I have contacted customer service and was left on hold or was told to submit a ticket online to cancel. I have expressed that I am unable to log into his account, they didnt provide a solution. I have since disputed the charges with my credit card company, because this is not how you do business in my opinion. I have now been sent into collections. I hope a resolution could be given at this time

      I just woke up this morning with a 96 dollar charged to my credit card. When I signed up for the membership I was told since it was august 19th I would only have to pay a 25 dollar enrollment fee and half of a months membership. When I called the location they told me the 96 dollars was my monthly membership plus mantinence fee and taxes? I never signed up to pay a mantinence fee neither should taxes cost over 20 dollars. I went ahead and canceled the membership on my end and called corporate to make sure once I cancel it will fully be canceled and I noticed it said I had a balance of 141 due next month. What would I be charged a 141 dollars for? I told them I had no problem paying the cancellation fee today if that meant I would never have to deal with this business again but since my account is new there was no way they could and that they need to research my account better. To me that makes no sense.

      According to our records, ****************' enrolled under a membership with us on 8/17/2022.  At the time of enrollment, ****************' was billed for a prorated monthly dues amount of $24.53, which satisfied her August membership dues. On 8/31/2022 she was billed for her September membership dues totaling $77.83, and a deferred New Membership Fee of $17.50, in accordance with the agreement that she signed. As the charges were billed in accordance with her agreement with us, **************** is responsible for payment of this charge, there is no refund due. 

      ****************' membership is set to be cancelled on 9/30/2022 and no additional charges will be applied. 

      We wish **************** the best of luck in meeting her future fitness goals!

      on 11 August 2022 I came to Jersey Strong for a yoga class at approximately 9:42 AM and was treated with such disrespect dishonor by the manager **** who was at the front desk at the time. They have instituted a new policy where they take pictures of customers which was never done before and never had an issue this was my first time in the branch I was not informed of that when I was asked to take a picture I politely inquired by asking a few questions and was greeted with such insults and condescending remarks by the manager. I asked him why I had to take my picture and if I had to take it now he said yes I must do if not I should leave the store. He then also threaten to call the police on me. And then when I brought on my phone to record the experience he kept on trying to yell at me and I had to remind him but I am a customer theres a way you talk to customers. If this is the way the franchise is run by Jersey Strong in your old bridge this is a very poor and bad representation of how you guys should handle the business in. I was insulted by **** the manager threaten to be reported to the police if I did not take a picture and then was basically asked to leave the store.

      I would like to cancel my membership with this company. I do not have a binding contract and am free to cancel. Nonetheless, I have called numerous times and they are unable to help me at the club. They indicate that I need to go through 3rd parties in order to complete. I have contacted all the parties that I have been directed to contact and have no success. No one has called or emailed me back to help execute this cancellation. In the meantime, I am still being billed.
