Update: After reading the owner's response, I'm even more disappointed. Here's the full story so…read morepotential customers can see the pattern for themselves.
I never planned on posting this or taking legal action. I tried for years to handle everything quietly and respectfully through calls, emails, and patience. Every response I got from the owner, Tim Fitzgerald, made one thing painfully clear: he refuses to take responsibility for anything that goes wrong.
He will charm you when you spend money, but once there is a problem the story changes. You get delays, excuses, and endless "we're checking records" messages that go nowhere. His public reply to my review proves it. Instead of apologizing or fixing the issue, he hides behind paperwork and tries to catch me on technicalities.
He even admits his former manager promised my elderly mother a refund, yet two years later she still has not received it. I told him she does not use email and just needed a quick phone call to confirm her mailing address. He refused. Saying he will only communicate in writing is not professionalism, it is avoidance.
Then he claims the business "did nothing wrong" but also says the staff responsible are "no longer here." You can't have it both ways. Either the business mishandled things and leadership is responsible, or the staff were not the problem and he is scapegoating them.
What's sad is that he still blames me. The former manager told me directly that he would finalize everything with Tim, and I believed him. That's on me. I should have followed up more aggressively instead of trusting their word. Looking back, it's obvious what happened--they smooth-talked me just long enough for my chargeback window to close, and then stopped following through.
After everything I went through, Tim's final solution was to tell me to come back and finish my package like nothing ever happened. Imagine that. Two years of emails, phone calls, broken promises, and an admitted refund that was never mailed--and the best he can offer is to act like it never happened.
That says everything about how this business is run. I did not start with anger or threats. I started as a loyal customer who believed his word. Every call and every email since has shown me that he does not take responsibility and will do anything to avoid accountability. The only reason I started looking into legal action and consumer protection reporting is because he left me no other choice.
This review is the proof. Look at his response and decide for yourself. The man is bad news.
I paid $3,000 for a Cryoskin 10-pack, but halfway through my sessions, I was told the machine was broken and pressured into using a treatment I had never heard of (Contour Light). The remaining Cryoskin sessions were converted into Contour sessions because of the broken machine. I felt misled; this was a bait-and-switch in my experience.
My mother also signed up based on my recommendation. She was treated poorly by staff, and one employee spoke negatively about her to me. Both of us were promised refunds, but after months of follow-ups, we received nothing in return. Messages were ignored, and promised resolutions were never delivered.
We requested refunds because we no longer felt comfortable using their services and because of the restrictions and limitations they placed on us, such as not being able to use the Cryo chamber on the same day and being forced into treatments we did not choose.
It's especially frustrating because the Cryo chamber and sauna actually work well, and the employees who run those services were professional and easy to work with. Unfortunately, management, including ownership, just passes the blame to staff in the Cryoskin/Contour department, showing a disregard for client concerns and accountability in my experience.
If you truly want to try red light therapy, it's cheaper and safer to purchase it yourself rather than going through this business. And please be honest with yourself, are the results coming from these devices, or your own hard work with diet and exercise? In my view, if these machines truly worked as advertised, the owner would be extremely wealthy.
I used to recommend this business to friends, thinking it was professional. Now I question whether the services even work, or if the business operates primarily on marketing and upselling practices.
If you value your money and respect, do not trust this business. I will be pursuing my refund through legal channels, and I strongly urge others to carefully consider before paying.
