They want to keep this a semi-private gym and that makes me feel way more comfortable with going to the gym. I know that people probably don't care about me and what I am doing, but I still feel self conscious when it comes to working out. Alex is my trainer and she's the sweetest! Her and her husband (Chuck) started up at the beginning of Covid (in their garage) and is now running a huge space. I was fortunate enough to hear about them because we live in the same neighborhood. I've purchased memberships at big name gyms and it was all wasted money. I actually love going to Ellison Fitness and I am totally getting my money's worth. I highly suggest giving them a try.

I used to like this gym a lot but when my membership ended they continued to charge me. I tried to…read morecontact them many times but they would not respond. Then they shut down due to covid-19 I figured at least now they would stop charging because I couldn't even use the gym but they didn't. So not only had I been charged for 2 months past my membership but also for a gym that was closed. When I once again tried to ask about this they ended my membership and told me I was banned because I was "not a good fit for their new environment". I planed to come back when they reopened but guess not now. If I was you Id think twice before going to this gym.

The gym is clean, has every piece of necessary equipment that you would need to get a good workout. The location is smaller then a large commercial gym, but has a very good environment. The gym is not crowded and has a really nice setup. If you ever have a chance to check this place out I would 100% recommend this gym.

Literally one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had to deal with…read more Got the membership in Feb. Around June I went to the facility for the last time. At the end of that month I moved and had to cancel. I called, the girl on the phone stated that the account was canceled. Never received an email or anything. Assumed that it had been dealt with considering I never received something about it. 4 months later in December I realized that it had been charging my account every month since then. Which I thought was odd considering the cancellation policy is only 2 months of membership past the cancellation of the account. So I call in September, a different girl on the phone told me that the account had never been canceled or even triggered to be canceled and that if it had I should have received an email. I asked her to check the email on file and she said it was correct. I check my inbox and never received anything. At this point had the cancellation been done properly I would have only paid half of what I had paid at this point. She told me there was nothing she or anyone at gym time could do. Manager was not there. And that my only option was to cancel it now and pay 2 more months. Which I thought was unfair. I told her to send the email to close the account. I ended the call. I yet again. Never received an email. Frustrated and in the middle of a breakup/move I called the bank and had them block access to my card for Gym Time. And never heard anything else except an automated message from the billing company telling me I had a balance. I eventually got another call from Gym Time and was texted and asked to call back. I called back and they basically informed me that I owed around 200$ and that they needed it now because my account was pending closure and they would just have to send it to collections. When I asked to speak to the manager and told her all of the events leading up to today she told me that none of that made sense and there was no way that could have happened the way I said it did. Again saying that this was my fault and to check my email. Said that there was no one above her that I could speak to and the best she could do was take off the late fees and have me pay the 87 dollars in missed fees in addition to two months after cancellation. Not her fault though. It's the billing company. I asked for the name of the billing company. ABC financial. When I called the billing company to get more information. I was informed that since my last date of access for the facility was in June. I was not responsible financially for any monthly fees after that month. Which was paid. The customer service lady for ABC financial also informed me that they had misspelled GMAIL in my email address in the system. So I could not have canceled at any point even if I had wanted to!!! I asked on 3 separate occasions for my email to be doubled checked. And they told me every time it was fine and that this was an issue in my end. THEY MISSPELLED GMAIL not my actual account name.... Gmail..... xxxxxxx@gmil.com That's how it was in the system. I was also informed by ABC that I should speak to Anthony. Who does not work there anymore. The billing company doesn't even have the correct information for them. When I called back and told them all of this. I was told "well we both made mistakes!" I ended up having to give them 58$ even to just wipe my hands clean of all of it. I was just so tired of the process. So 177$ I paid extra than I ever should have. Plus hours on the phone, calling the billing company for Gym Time, and essentially being called a liar, in addition to being threatened with collections. Never got an apology. 6 months of fees extra I had to pay after I initially tried to cancel the membership in order to not be sent to collections. I understand that this is the business model for gyms. It's how they make their money. But this just felt straight predatory. Especially considering how easy of a fix all of this could have been. I literally spent half of an entire year and 177$ dollars to try and get this resolved. Late June to now. Brittney the receptionist was the only person who apologized. Thanks Brittney. I know it's not your fault! This is a great gym if you never have to fix a clerical or billing error or if you never have to deal with the Manager Linda.

We will just play basketball today! gotta make lemonade!! I ask permission to play the front desk lady agrees (Laura? Lauren? older woman with thick grey and black curly hair) she lets us pick out ball and we head in she stops us and says if anyone else comes we have to leave (I'm thinking sure a team we'll go but...anyone?? and we have to leave? Whatever I'm making lemonade!!) after watching and making faces at us, calling another coworker over discussing me and my daughter in front of us... then she comes in and tells me we have to go, because we're shooting the ball and actually playing instead of rolling the ball back and forth?? My daughter who is having SO MUCH FUN getting her energy out was never in danger. I believe the rep overstepped her bounds from YMCA into parenting. Don't we all want kids off iPads and actually engaging? Very disappointing. She should have either told us no to playing or advised us that injury wouldn't be their responsibility. Accidents can happen anywhere that's why it's important to play! Play teaches children to move their body use their hands and be better suited for avoiding danger.
