FRUSTRATION!!!!

  • That's how I'm feeling this morning! Utter frustration. My gym has let me down. Immensely. I went to my beloved 5:30am Turbo Kick class. Michelle Olsen is the instructor and she kicks butt. LOVE her. She has a knack for putting on an incredible workout while having such a blast. Anyway, she brought it to our attention that she will no longer be teaching that class. WHAT!?! Some things have changed while other things haven't changed at all.

  • I started going to Gold's last summer when they opened "pre-sale #1." It was in this little strip mall and separated between 2 units. Sort of awkward, but they promised they'd be building a huge, beautiful facility. A few months later, they announced they'd be moving to "pre-sale #2." Also in a strip mall, but a bit bigger than the first. The equipment/floors were somewhat mediocre and never really blew my mind to begin with. But alas, I continued as the devoted follower and attendee of Michelle's amazing turbo classes. I seriously live for these classed. I mean, honestly, who gets IRATE when the day after day light savings their alarm DOESN'T go off at 5am? That would be me. Anyway, they are possibly doing away with this 530am class. WHAT? You're kidding me right? No, they're not! They might do away with turbo, piyo, hustle, and maybe body pump. I don't know. But I'm not happy about it.

  • Back to this beautiful facility: It's not built yet. Obviously. "They" kept telling members that they would get the building permit in October. Well, that's in the past, and do they have a building permit? No! The earliest they could break ground is January. January in Logan? FREEZING! I don't know how much ground breaking can be done in January. So, who knows how long this Gold's will be operating with a few cardio machines, a few circuit machines, a spin classroom and a group fitness that is dwindling. No pool. No court (ie no basketball, volleyball, racquetball, etc). No showers (ok, there's 1 in each single stall bathroom). No sauna. No steam room. Am I depressing you yet?

  • Anyway, I'm so disappointed and distraught. I called to find out what the cancellation process/fee would be and they told me that there is no fee, and that I'd just have to pay through the end of my contract. In AUGUST. Really? Is there nothing else that I can do?

you need to state your case. They can't keep giving you false information about construction that is never happening. Sorry!! But there should be no reason you have to keep a membership to a gym that does not exist, or may never exist!!

what?! why don't I know anything about any of this? why would they cancel all those classes? that's almost all the classes they teach. I need to know so much more about this. I'm gonna make you tell me ALL about it tonight!

I totally understand how you feel kinda. When we moved into our new house the only time they offered Turbo was Tuesday nights at 7 which doesn't work with the little man. I was so sad I freaking love turbo. Good luck.
