I contacted the owner of WNC Barbell (Greg Pressley) in Fall 2019 regarding my membership. I…read moreexplained how I was going through financial hardships and that I had stopped visiting the facilities in hopes that they could cancel my contract early. I was basically told "you only have 2 months left, you'll be able to catch up". Being that I signed a contract, I came to terms with paying for those 2 months and agreed to do so once I had the available funds. Since then I have continuously received a new monthly bill with additional late fees tacked on, despite many attempts to settle up on those 2 months. Each time I've called I have been told by "Adam" that he has no way of getting in touch with the owner.. that this was a common issue others had with him.. that he would write my number down and call me back.. etc. I have sent half a dozen emails since then as well - not a single response. Meanwhile the late fees continue to rack up without ANY way of being able to settle or contact the owner. There is no website or instructions, other than to call... even the phone number on the bill is INCORRECT (had to Google the correct one) Summary: My bill is now double of what I actually owe them and it will continue to increase since their owner is incredibly dodgy and provides NO way to settle up.

This franchise uses a third party billing system called peak payment solutions to extract money…read morefrom their members. Even if you are not under any sort of contract or commitment they will not allow you to cancel your membership directly. You are instead instructed to address it with the billing company. This makes it next to impossible to cancel the membership, so your only course of action is to simply stop paying them. Then Peak payment solutions will immediately start charging you late fees and will start threatening collections and calling relentlessly within a week of a missed payment. It is illegal to try to extort payment out of people, who are under zero contractual commitment to pay you, by threatening collection.

I'm very grateful that as a senior my insurance covers a membership at Golds Patton Avenue. I…read moreactually lived near Venice Beach, CA and saw the original muscle men at work in the 1970-80's. Gold's has a spacious work out area (including a small private space for women). They have an incredible array of machines, from aerobics, (stairs, ladders, rowing, elliptical) to all the various free weights and equipment for targeted exercises by several brands. There is seldom a wait time to get on a machine. My favorite regular class is Yoga with Pharrell. There are a range of classes by type and fitness levels. A cross section of society makes up the clientele and they are serious about staying in shape. There is always parking and staff are friendly and helpful.

I never felt completely comfortable there. Since becoming a member at Oakley Fitness Center, I have learned proper lifting techniques and been given work out ideas to fit my goals (per my request.)

The staff here is friendly, everything is super clean, and like most PFs, there is a ton of equipment. Aside from one thing! They only have four Smith machines. When I arrived, they were all taken.
