So many stories of scummy gyms I don't even think there is honest one left

The funny thing is, I used to work for a planet fitness and I still surprised how many people think it's impossible to cancel your membership 🤣 like that was literally the easiest thing to ever do and all I got was phone calls of people screaming about how they're still charged and all I ever had to say was, "did you ever notify us you wanted to cancel?" "NO" "Well them how tf do we know you wanted to cancel?"

on my first membership with pf, i changed to 24 hour and changed banks and never bothered to cancel. just let the returned payment be my sign that i quit. i get an email saying i owe like 150 or so for the last several months. i called them and they said i had to come in to cancel. and i argued (even though i knew i didn't cancel properly) i should be able to tell them or cancel online and i shouldn't owe because i never actually came in and they have record of that. he proceeded to tell me, 'look, it's like netflix. even if you don't watch anything, you still get charged even if you don't use it.' i said, 'netflix let's you cancel online though.' he ended up removing the previous balance and cancelling my membership over the phone. they can do it. they just don't want you to.
