Sharks!

by RalphyLove

I am a victim of the Energy/Gold's Scam, and I am outraged at the way I have been treated. My personal character has been insulted by a manager who never met me, only because I complained that I had no desire to join their club and that their claims to having a contract with me were BS.

What's worse, their billing company, ASF is threatening my spotless credit. They're banking on the fact that most of us can't afford lawyers, but can't we all get together and find someone to represent us pro-bono? I know one member who got her contract cancelled through Help Me Howard.

there must be some way to expose these sharks and save our credit ratings!

• Pros: Can't think of any.
• Cons: Cramped quarters, loud radio, rude staff, membership scams.

Bad people to do business with

by MickyGalt

Yes I was a member at Energy Gym and the day they closed there were four health clubs in front of the gym offering memberships. Golds Gym was one of them.

But no mention of our membership being automatically transferred. So we checked out a couple of gyms and made a commitment. Then two months latter we start getting bills form Gold's Gym collection agency. Try as we can they will not stop. I never received any noticfication at all just ridiculous outrageous bills with late fees and manual billing fees just any kind of BS they can imagine to mess up my credit.

Bad people

• Cons: Fraudulent billing pracitices

Bad bad publicity

by NatMiami

I am just outraged by Gold's gym desperate need to get new members. Upon the sudden closing of Energy Fitness Club back in February, Gold Gym is now sending out bills to Energy's ex members based on the fact that they were "sold" Energy's members contracts. Basically, we are now FORCED to pay Gold Gym's. They are claiming to have sent letters to all members (which by the way, I have not been able to validate) informing that we had one month to respond, or else we would become automatically members. Aside from the fact that the Gold staff is just rude, they are unable to provide neither copy of the letter sent out, nor copy of the contract which would stipulate that Energy would be entitled to pass on these contacts to a third party (Gold Gym in this instance). Their response: either you pay, or your credit will be affected. Are you KIDDING??????? This is information I just can not wait to share with the Miami Herald and other media.
