Come back in in feb 2012 to cancel my membership and was to call in at the end of feb, when i did i was told that i didnt give them 5 days notice so this brought me into march.I made numerous trips to the gym and phone calls but to no avail. finally in april 2012,I simply had enough. I cancelled my dd , emailed the gym a copy of my p45 and informed them that i cancelled my dd .I was told to send them a copy of my p45 and when they received it my membership would be terminated immediately.I was given the wrong email adress 5 times by the staff also!! Eventually i was given the correct address and sent the email to the branch and it was forwarded to head office.I heard nothing until the 9th of may 2012.The gym sent me a text message to contact them regarding my membership.And so the saga continues.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi, i wish i seen this forum before signing up, I was told i could cancel my membership after 4 months before i signed on the dotted line, I informed FF in december 2011 that i lost my job ,I have been told lie after lie since then!!

They were on about a month ago...
I&#039;ve been having problems with them recently.. So I sent them this :DDear sir/madamI am writing to notify you, in accordance with my verbal contract with Jamie (Head of sales), that I will be terminating my membership one calendar month from now. The last payment you will receive shall be tomorrow, on the first of May 2012.As explained numerous times to members of your sales team prior to joining, I am joining the army, and was only intending on using the facilities for a period of approximately two months. I was assured by all I spoke to, including Jamie, that this was not a problem, and could cancel at any time, with one calendar months’ notice. This was also brought up during the registration, over the phone, with Jamie. This formed part of the verbal contract I agreed to. The terms and conditions provided over the phone, never contradicted these agreements.I am also aware, of the fact that I never signed any form of contract, or was presented any written terms, before completion of contract.There is no question of me continuing to comply with terms that I never agreed to, so I would like to inform you, that I will be cancelling the standing order, after the aforementioned payment, that you are due.I hope that this can be resolved quickly, and efficiently, however, I will see this through.Kind RegardsJordan Catto</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They did call watchdog..<br

I became a personal trainer last year and was convinced by one of their managers to work for them. Worse decision of my life, you have to pay them £130 a WEEK in rent, and when you leave (after 4 weeks was completely bankrupt!) still have to pay them another 4 weeks. The mangement are the worse people I have ever delt with! I have a passion for fitness, they dont! The equipment was all broken, and when you reported it, they did f**k all about it. Their more worried about trying to find new members then actually looking after the ones (or there staff for that matter!) they already have. Had them calling up every day after I left trying to get the extra money off me which I ended up having to pay. I can&#039;t ever say a good word about them, just stay as far away from them as you can!! I have seen what really goes on in their offices and can confirm to everyone reading this that they are as bad as the people on this page have said!Fitness first...more like sales first!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Worst company in the world!
