- FSFeonia Barbie SkervinJan 2, 20261.0I don’t understand do the life of me how Best Fitness is still functioning with them literally trying to Hold Members Hostage..complete and utter BS, I had a Membership yrs ago and because of an injury I paused my membership and just was not able to return because of reoccurring injuries, yrs had passed and I wanted to get back into doing the classes which I like, I sat with Cole and he had explain my previous membership and said if I restart it , the nw membership will take care of whatever obligations that was left from the previous one..which I didn’t know I even had since like 8hrs had passed, I restated it and he said it will talk about 6 month to clear the other Acct, I said fine, I was not aware that it would bind me in another 2yr contract, upon my second Zumba class I started feeling pajama in my Knee which I went to the Dr for and now had to have surgery which I had this past Tuesday, I had to stop going to the Gym per my Dra Request but I didn’t pause my payments which they happily took every month, it’s now going on 2 yrs since I signed backup and now unable to go to the gym and want to just cancel my membership, now they are telling me I have to have a Drs documentation that I am unable to use the gym for 3 or more months and I don’t have a membership that I. Could just cancel anytime, I told the guy I spoke with at ABC I was never given that option and I was never made aware that option was available and I can’t pause it unless I have said Drs documentation..I should never have to divulge my Medical issues to Cancel a Basic gym Membership, they are free to just keep taking your money and just hold you hostage unless you divulge information they have no rights to be privy to, I don’t know how they are still in business..this is entrapment and Holding Members Hostage to benefit them, I will get to the bottom of this and contact the BBB because this is literally insane.
- MKMelissa KakosDec 30, 20251.0Crooks! Went into our old account.Information said that we still owe money for canceling when we canceled years ago! All about stealing your money! Be careful dont sigh anything once you do they never stop billing you!
- MDMissy DaigneaultDec 22, 20255.0Amazing staff always so kind, welcoming, and supportive. I’ve been going to this gym for 3 years now and have never had a bad experience. The environment is clean, positive, and motivating, and it never feels overly crowded, which makes workouts enjoyable and stress-free. The people who go here are always super friendly, which really adds to the sense of community. The equipment is well maintained, and the overall vibe makes you actually want to show up and train. I highly recommend to anyone at any fitness level to come to this gym!
- TOTina O'SheaDec 3, 20252.0Buyer beware! This is a decent gym but you will be charged an extra fee of $49 per year for their "gym upgrades"! While I appreciate them maintaining their equipment this should all be covered under the membership fees. I have never heard of any other gym doing this. It's absolutely ridiculous. Update in response to reply from Best Fitness: Just FYI my complaint has nothing with your "transparency". I have no doubt the annual $49 extra fee is written somewhere in the contract and/or was mentioned when I my son signed up. However, I know I would not have agreed to the membership if I was aware of this extra fee. My point of the complaint was I find this fee to be ridiculous and unnecessary. I have been a member at numerous fitness centers over the past 35 years (and I currently handle memberships at a fitness facility in NJ) and I have never heard of any place charging this annual fee. In my opinion you should factor this facility expense into the monthly membership fees paid. The point of my review was to alert possible new members to this extra annual fee and they can make up their own minds if they are OK paying for it or not. Thank you.
