      I joined Planet Fitness 7 years ago under a"55 and older" rate of $95.00/year which I have been paying annually. Without any warning, on November 17, 2023 as I was about to pay my annual fee of $95.00, I was told my membership would increase 75% to $120.00/year plus an additional fee. There is no senior citizen rate, although teen-agers may participate during the summer for free.I was hoping to be grandfathered in at the $95.00 rate or possibly to initiate a loyalty program.I contacted the Club in ******* **, the regional director, and the Headquarters.

      In regards to complaint ********, unfortunately this membership was a membership special that we are no longer available to offer. We did send an email to all members offering them a free month and no start up fees if they wish to switch to a monthly membership.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      [Please type your response here.]At 9:00 AM on November 17, I was at LaVista Planet Fitness to renew my membership at $95/year.  I was told that was no longer an option.  I did not receive an e-mail from Planet Fitness until after 12:00 PM on November 17 stating my renewal would be $10/month paid monthly.  Had I received an earlier notification, I would have renewed on November 16.  I would appreciate a compromise of a $95 renewal fee this year due to the late notice of the increase.

      [Please type your response here.]The fact that the discontinuance of the "55 and over" membership was not disclosed until after I attempted to renew my membership was not addressed in the response from Planet Fitness.  Therefore, I feel one last renewal at $95 is justified.  It's similar to having any type of  payment, such as mortgage or tax, increased just as you are paying it on time.

      [Please type your response here.]I refer to the Code of Ethics for Planet Fitness which lists transparency and integrity.  I fail to see where you followed those elements.  I would expect transparency in advance notification of a change in membership or cost.  I am notified 2-4 weeks prior to an increase in cost or changes of services I pay for.  I would expect integrity in working with a consumer to resolve a complaint by addressing the lack of prior notification of a change in membership.  I have not received a direct response to your strategy of no notification prior to my attempt to renew my membership.  I am not asking for a membership which no longer exists, I am asking for consideration from my point of view.  Surely a corporation has the ability to settle differences in a thoughtful way to preserve its reputation.  I do not understand your business practices.  On the whole, I feel the way this cost increase was implemented was deceptive, transparency and integrity were lacking.

      This complaint is against the Planet Fitness in *********, ********* on ************* (for some reason the website is not letting me choose the correct business). While the gym is under construction (for two months now), I have been billed for a membership $25 a month yet unable to use the gym because it is closed. I have reached out to dispute the charges however, I have not been able to get in contact with the company via email and phone calls.

      Back in June I have cancelled my membership with Planet Fitness with excessive difficulty. After this they still charge a $10 monthly fee and a yearly fee of $39.oo I have been in contact with ********************************* MANY times over the last 4-5 months and was told I would get my refund of $49.00 but still have not received it and now she no longer responds to my emails and there is no contact number or other email addresses for me to reach out to. I just want my $49.00 refund that they said I would received.

      When I signed up for their service over a year ago, they allowed me to sign-up online. However, they need a signature to cancel. This is a tactic to make it hard to cancel and keep people paying. They refuse to allow me to pay over the phone or online. It should not be harder to cancel than it is sign-up.

      Hello-

      In response to complaint ********, Per our policy stated on our agreement at the time of sign up, payments can be stopped at anytime. We require notification by either coming into the club or sending a letter to their home club if they are unable to come into the location. Out of courtesty, we will do a courtesy cancellation. The account will be closed as of today, 11/03/2023.

      An account was opened in my name and with my checking account information without my knowledge. Upon realizing the error I immediately contacted Planet Fitness. They said they would look into it. They cancelled the account but in doing so forged my signature on that form. They have refunded the charges from 2023 but this account was opened 12/2021 so the charges started 01/2022. They have said if I closed the account within 90 days of it being opened they would give a full refund. which is impossible since again I was aware this account even existed.

      Good Afternoon,

      In response to complaint ********, after review, the membership account was created online with the member's full information. Since the membership was created online and without the members consent, the member would have to contact their financial institution and file a fraud complaint. We have confirmed the account has been cancelled but due to the nature of the membership being created fraudulently we are unable to issue a refund. We have attcahed the agreement submitted at the time of sign up.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      I spoke to my bank and they said that since it shows that it was an authorized withdrawal they are unable to do anything.

      When I originally stopped at Planet Fitness to report this the manager at the time said that my previous membership was probably duplicated and that's how all of my information was obtained. When they looked at this membership at the store level they also commented that I never once used this membership. I have a copy of the cancellation that clearly has a signature that is forged. 

      I did receive a refund check for 2023 which shows to me that they knew this was a fraudulent transaction. I am simply requesting the remaining balance be returned. 

      The only acceptable solution for me is to receive the remaining balance from 2022.

      Business Response

      Date: 11/03/2023

      In response to complaint ********, If the account was created without consent then the charges were NOT authorized and the consumers financial institution should assist in submitting a fraud complaint. Per out dues, fees, charges & taxes policy which is Section 8 of our agreement, Planet Fitness must be notified within 60 days of a claimed error on your statement. Unfortunately we did not receive any notice but out of courtesy issued a refund of $154.00 which has been sent to the consumer. Additional refund cannot be issued.

      This response is not acceptable. As stated previously the former manager said that this membership was probably duplicated from a previous membership and that was most likely the reason that my personal information was obtained. I was obviously unaware of the membership as I never used it.. This clearly is at the fault of Planet Fitness and not me. I was issued a refund for 2023 which according to  them was a courtesy but yet they keep referring to their 60 day cancellation policy. If a refund for 2022 is not given I will take further legal action.

      In response to complaint ********, Our policy is correct that any error of any type of charges need to be presented within 60 days. This was not a Planet Fitness error since the account was created fraudulently per the consumers statement. Our clubs have no way of duplicating accounts as each account needs to have billing information entered each time and we do not have access to bank account information. The account was created online not in store. Since this is not a Planet Fitness error and the refund awarded was out of courtesy as stated before we will not be issuing additional refunds.

      Planet Fitness assumed my membership of Xperience Fitness when they closed and started charging me monthly membership without my knowledge. I had to go in person to fill out documents to quit even though I never joined and ask for a refund. I am still getting charged. They tell me to call the national number and it goes back to the local number. I also feel that by having to go to the gym to cancel and it not happening, me having to call and file a complaint here. I am owed an addition $250 for my time and effort to the $147.48 that has been paid already.

      In response to complaint *********, Our cancellation policy states that in order to stop billing we must receive notice in person or by letter. We have confirmed that the account was cancelled as of 8/17/2023. As courtesy we will refund the charges for July and August for a total amount of $107.96. Any charges prior to that would have been through Xperience Fitness and we would not be able to refund any of those charges.

      The business has continued to charge me two months after the date that they say I canceled.  So in their response they admit to receiving my cancellation but have continued to charge me.

      When I called my branch asking why they were still calling me they said talk to corporate.  The corporate web site (There is no way of being able to talk to a human) said this has to be taken care at the specific location. 

      I would like a credit for the months charged after I quit.  Plus a penalty for charging me after quitting of $50/month for a total of $100.  They would have charged me something similar if I didn't pay on time.

      I also want to reiterate that I never joined this gym.  In my opinion they stole my information from a gym that closed its doors.

      They have refunded me the money that they charged me but have made no attempt to do anything above the minimum.

      Planet Fitness assumed the membership accounts of Xperience Fitness with no notice or communication to members. My account and my wife's account were fraudulently billed four months of fees for "memberships" we did not knowingly or willingly enter into. I attempted to call a Planet Fitness location to cancel, and I was told I would need to present in person to a club to cancel. This is wrong, deceitful, and unethical. I do not agree that I ever entered into a relationship with this business. I should not need to present in person to a fitness club to end a contract I never entered into. I informed the club manager that I may file for a chargeback on my credit card statement. The manager told me that if we did so, our accounts would be sent to collections, implying that negative information would be reported to credit bureaus.I attempted to email Black Duck Partners. There is no phone number listed for them anywhere. I received an auto-response informing me that they try to review emails concerning acquired Xperience Fitness customer complaints at least once every seven days. They also mentioned that performing business related to Planet Fitness operations is more important than servicing the Xperience Fitness accounts that they assumed control of (even though they charge us every month!).My "membership" and my wife's "membership" shall be canceled immediately. Do not bill our credit cards again. Also, promptly refund the $158.32 that you deceitfully billed to our credit cards since June when the Xperience Fitness club that we originally signed up for shuttered without notice to members.

      I had double charges from planet fitness taken out of my checking account for months. I was told to come in with my banking statement. I came in with my banking statements, which they lost the first time and stated they would hand them over to corporate office. No follow up. I called again this time talking to a manager I showed her the double charges being taken from my account. She then stated that their records show only one charge. The manager ******** later told me I was a bully because I came in with my banking information and showed the double charges. She stated she would send them to corporate office. I canceled my membership at that time when I went in. A month went by no follow up from planet fitness or the manager. ******** the manager said she would get back to me and never did. I called their yet again a month later because yet another charge. This time a single charge. I asked for an explanation and follow up if charges. After multiple times of being hung up on arguing with ********. Being told she doesn't have to take my multiple calls. No resolution and stating that I am a bully for trying to figure out y charges were being taken from my account. She said she sated according to corporate office she does not have to handle my complaint. She stated she gave me the number to call that handles the billing. which she never did until the very last conversation I had with her did she offer a phone number. I asked for a follow up, ********* stated after the second call she would personally follow up, but never did. I am trying to resolve an issue of being charged to a avoid my checking account from being off as far as balance and why this is happening! Supposedly corporate office has my banking information. I will provide if needed again. As it has my social security number and etc. and they have lost previously. So I have major concerns where that went and who has that.

      Good Afternoon,

      In regards to complaint ********, the member was notified that the two charges to the account were due to the member's daughter using her billing information for her membership. Out of courtesy, we will be issuing a refund to the account for an amount of ******. The payments will be reversed to the checking account on file. Please allow ***** business days for the refund to show.

      Ive requested multiple times via email for them to contact me to cancel my membership and to stop charging my account. They refuse to follow through on the contact request and continue to charge my account for the last year. I want my account cancelled, charges to stop occurring, and a refund on all charges since my initial request in October 2022.

      Good Afternoon, 

       

      After reviewing the complaint, our cancellation policy states "To cancel your monthly membership and stop the billing of the Monthly Membership Fee on the 17th of the month, the club requires written notification by the
      10th of the month delivered to the club in person or postmarked via certified mail to the club address listed above. In order to cancel your membership prior to
      the billing of the Annual Membership Fee, the club requires written notice as described above on or before the 25th of the previous month. The Annual Membership
      Fee is fully earned when received and is non-refundable." After reviewing the account it does not look like we have received any type of cancellation on file. They will need to stop in or send a letter to their home club to cancel their account.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      The company has been notified by email multiple times regarding desire to cancel membership. *** included written documentation that verifies they have been notified and still continue to charge the account after being notified they are no longer authorized to do so. This constitutes fraud and I will follow up with my bank to report ongoing fraudulent and unauthorized transactions if the business is unwilling to comply with the cancellation request. 
      Regards,

      If theyre not going to provide a refund, the absolute bare minimum they can do is honor a written cancellation request and formal complaint demanding cancellation. Theyve been notified or the customers desire to cancel the membership regardless of their desired medium for that cancellation. Furthermore, the sign up process is all online and demanding that I return to the club or send paper correspondence to cancel the membership is an unreasonable request given my current life circumstances. So they can either honor the cancellation request or I will put in a stop payment with my bank and they wont get another dime either way.

      In response to complaint ********, we will honor a courtesy cancellation. The consumer will no longer see any other charges to the account.
