Should I change gyms over this stuff?

[Sexy_Sienna]

I joined a new gym 6 months ago and everything has been going fine. No big complaints. It is expensive and people aren’t super friendly but that’s workable. Anyway I talked to their credit manager today about my automatic bill payments being stopped for tomorrow and going forward. They process billing on the 10th of the month but it’s technically not due til the end of the month. So it’s not technically even late if you don’t pay by tomorrow.
Their credit manager I spoke to to cancel the auto payments was so beyond rude and disrespectful and spoke to me in a really demeaning way. He was unwilling to stop the payments and was being a completely ass. It’s not a hard thing to just remove someone’s card from their account that they charge to. But he got snippy because I have had to unenroll before. I always pay things by end of month anyway and I’m a good member at the gym, not causing trouble. Maybe if they updated their website so that members can update card info, etc I wouldn’t have to call him? Geeze. He goes “oh you're FRUSTRATED?” When I mentioned having to remove my auto billing and was like “this isn’t the first time you’ve done this.” He was making a HUGE deal about it. He got condescending and blamed me for this whole issue and I got emotional and started crying. He hung up on me. It was so unprofessional that I’m not comfortable going back and paying my services there anymore.
I have other bills due this week that are high priority like rent. I’m a little behind too right now because I just started a new job and everything.
I’ve also had to make 1 harassment complaint already because a guy was being so creepy.

Feminists don't like it but there's a reason why traditional women tend to let their man talk to other guys in situations like this. Anyhow... the gym IS going to take your money. Big gyms are setup to steal as much cash as possible from people when they try to cancel their memberships.

[Sexy_Sienna]

Haha I wish my boyfriend did haha. He’s at work. I’m telling him later about it. But yeah I agree. Some men can get aggressive and condescending if a woman is especially like sweet and polite.

[hahahmm]

Right... the azzhole guy you talked to would know that if he spoke like that to your man he might get punched in the mouth or something so he would be more likely to mind his manners. Beyond that, lots of places will take advantage of meek sounding women AND men. Just how it is.

[Sexy_Sienna]

I went off on the guy because I got so pissed. And he hung up on me. Like dude what kind of response do you want? He’s stupid

I never get into those kind of payment schemes with anyone. If the gym does not want to send me bill for a years membership I will go to a different gym. I would cancel that whole thing and go someplace else. Make sure the gym manager knows why. If they do not stop charging your credit card, call the credit card company and have them do it.

[Sexy_Sienna]

I’m just so taken aback. I never get spoken to this way and belittled. He probably hates his life because his last name is Christmas. Lmao

Thanks for the MHO😎

I would change. If you don't have a contractual obligation to continue your membership, they are required to cancel and stop payments. His attitude would be enough for me to leave.

[Sexy_Sienna]

I mentioned to him “is this a commitment I have to oblige to, to have payments always processed on the 10th?” And I don’t really see it anywhere. If you disable auto pay it just removes your in-house charging privileges that’s all. I mean I’m paying like $1000 a month for these fucking services and always pay them before they’re even remotely considered late.
They’re getting so weird here too. Like once I was drinking coffee so obviously wasn’t wearing my mask, and a girl who works in the salon told me to put it on... while I’m drinking coffee... like wtf?
I don't know and some members are so creepy and not very classy for the price I pay to be here.

[PrettyPriya]

@sexy_sienna Omg wear a mask while drinking coffee 😂 What a joke. Yeah, run from this place... and fast.

[Sexy_Sienna]

Haha ikr what in the hell? I literally looked at her so confused too. I was like “I’m drinking coffee...” and she goes “I know but just loop it around your face somehow” 😂😂😂 what is that supposed to do?

[Sexy_Sienna]

Meanwhile people in the cafe are all sitting around talking and sitting close to other people not wearing masks whether or not they’re eating.

[PrettyPriya]

Damn ridiculous. Bring a straw under your mask next time for the coffee. 🤣

[Sexy_Sienna]

This sounds shallow but now I see why not a lot of young women go to this gym. I mean for one it’s so expensive and most of us don’t make a lot in our 20s and on the other hand it’s these men are so weird. If they do go they keep to themselves or go with their boyfriend. I don’t see a ton of guys hitting on women which is good in general. One guy here is a bouncer at a nightclub but told me he owns the club...

[PrettyPriya]

Thank you for the MHO!

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

100% switch gyms. No way you should be paying money to go to a shit gym that treats you like shit lol.

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

1k a month is outrageous for the crappy treatment. And a mask while drinking coffee? Might as well put a blindfold on while walking, right? Makes no sense.
I would definitely switch. Not worth your money, energy, tears, or time, girl!

[Sexy_Sienna]

Yeah everything is so expensive. And some guys are so creepy here too I feel uncomfortable. They stare sometimes when women use the machines especially the adductor and overall I just get a toxic masculinity vibe from the place. Creepy old men who have hit on me too and I’m in my 20s

[Sexy_Sienna]

The CFO stopped my billing payment from going through which was nice. But still I have a bad taste in my mouth from how that douche talked to me. Also his last name is Christmas... wtf

[DaveJord]

Yeah sound like they are not in need of your patronage any more. But almost no where these days will allow you to maintain a membership without a credit card on record.

[Fireguy17]

sometimes they make it really hard to quit, but it is his job to handle that sort of thing.
sounds like he did not treat you like he should have.
after you get it straightened out let the higher ups know how you were treated.

[NotAnother_RedHead]

He started being so inappropriate by being like “oh you’re frustrated and upset? YOU are?” And made a huge fuss about me wanting to just pay my bill on my own time. It’s not like rent where it’s strictly due the first of the month. This is a gym we’re talking about.
I was so uncomfortable with how he got an attitude. I mean I have never missed a payment at all before and again have been a good member. He acted like I make tons of late payments and have committed misdemeanors. Like wtf is his problem.

[NotAnother_RedHead]

Oops sorry I replied with my other account. I forgot I had two, one through my gmail and other through regular sign up

[Waldoe]

Time to take you business elsewhere... closer to your work? closer to your home? rudeness is never OK

[In_Trance]

That's up to you
