I first contacted Greg Lara of Fitness Dynamics in early May regarding some used MedX Core Spinal Fitness equipment he was selling. I am a Physical Therapist and was buying equipment for a second clinic I was opening. After going back and forth for a few weeks, I was ready to buy. We agreed on a price of $21950, which included delivery and set-up, when he was originally asking $23000. He was adamant that I put $5000 down until I secured my financing which I did. A few weeks later, with regular communication about status of funding, I was ready to buy the equipment. I figured 50% down and the other 50% upon delivery, but he wanted it all up front and he also decided he wanted the full $23000. Against my better judgement, I paid him. There was not a lot of other choices of equipment and he had a matching set. The day I deposited the money we discussed delivery dates and he decided he would deliver on Monday July 7th. I took myself off the schedule that day so I could be at the new clinic for delivery. A few days before, during the long 4th of July holiday, I decided to email him to confirm our delivery. He eventually got back to me stating he wasn't, in fact, coming because he just got back from a pick-up. I was not very happy considering he didn't apologize in his return email and left me without a schedule Monday morning which meant a loss of income. I emailed him back and gave him 3 choices: 1) bring me my pre-paid equipment on Monday the day he promised, 2) refund me $700 in lost income and deliver later that week, or 3) give me my money back. He emails me that option 2 and 3 are possible and he will get back to me. He also said if he gave me my money back, he would not charge me a "restocking fee". I eventually got him on the phone and his excuse for not letting me know he wasn't coming was because he was driving. Apparently when driving from Minnesota to Southern California you don't need to stop at any point. He then told me he would get back to me on Thursday July 10th with a new delivery date. I eventually emailed him Friday the 11th because I had not heard from him and he emailed me that evening stating he was leaving the following Wednesday July 16th. On July 15th I again emailed him again for confirmation and he emailed me back the next day stating he would be now leaving Friday or Saturday instead. So now I call him Friday to find out when he is arriving so I can make arrangements to be there and he states he will be there Monday now. Monday was a very busy day for me and I was not going to be able to be at the clinic that day and suggested Tuesday might be better. He said that was fine, he would be there Tuesday afternoon and he would call me 4 hours out. Once again, I scheduled myself out to be there and he sends me an email Tuesday morning stating he would now be coming Friday or Saturday, instead. I, once again, email him Friday to find out when he is leaving and don't hear back from him so I call Saturday morning. He tells me he won't be able to leave again for 3-4 days. At this point, I am at my wits end. I am convinced that he doesn't actually have my equipment and will keep stringing me along for God knows how long. I decide to provide an ultimatum. Either he brings me my equipment by the next Thursday or I start posting a review of this experience on every website I can think of. I also tell him that if he just decides to send me my money back, I will still post reviews. I only want my equipment. It has now been seven weeks since I paid him $23000 for my equipment and he has changed his delivery date 6 times. I have a new clinic that I am trying to open and have pleaded with him to please bring me my equipment as it is stalling my progress. He now tells me if I post a review not only will he not bring me my equipment but he won't give me my money back. Finally I decide to just request a full refund and outline the reasons why. A few days later he emails me and guarantees he will leave by August 7th for my delivery or he will refund me. A few days later he sends me another email telling me he has "acquired" the equipment and is still on schedule. So it appears that the six times he told me he was coming, he didn't even have the equipment acquired and blatantly lied to me. The best part is he didn't even leave on the 7th for my location, he left on the 8th. I finally got my equipment delivered 5 weeks after he initially said he was coming and 2 months after I paid him. So would I do business with Greg Lara of Fitness Dynamics again? No I would not. Would I recommend Greg Lara of Fitness Dynamics? No I would not. Do I wish I could go back in time and find someone else to deal with? Absolutely. If you are really in need of MedX equipment, you can buy MedX type machines from regenerationequipment.com brand new and have them delivered in 12 weeks. I wish I would have known this before ordering from Greg. read more
