1/5 Hugh M. 5 years ago on Google
I
was
a
member
of
Charter
Fitness
for
several
years
having
opted
for
the
'Signature
Circle'
membership
plan
when
signing
up,
meaning
that
I
would
have
access
to
all
Charter
Fitness
locations.
About
one
week
prior
to
leaving
this
review,
the
staff
at
the
Olympia
Fields
location
advised
that
they
were
unable
to
find
me
in
their
system.
After
having
my
workout
delayed
by
about
fifteen
minutes
and
providing
all
relevant
information,
I
was
advised
that
they
would
look
further
into
the
issue.
Following
my
workout,
I
checked
my
bank
account
to
see
that
I
was,
in
fact,
being
charged
for
my
membership,
but
now
by
Reclaim
Fitness.
On
the
date
of
this
review,
I
scanned
in
and
after
changing
out,
I
was
approached
by
two
employees
who
stated
that
I
would
not
be
permitted
to
work
out
and
that
I
would
have
to
coordinate
with
ABC
Financial
to
resolve
the
issue
with
my
membership.
I
gathered
my
belongings
and
while
sitting
in
the
parking
lot
and
on
the
phone
with
ABC
Financial,
Pat
Siemsen
(a
retired
Homewood
Police
Department
employee)
and
a
Charter
Fitness
employee,
walked
outside
to
where
I
was
parked
and
without
saying
anything,
turned
around
and
walked
back
into
the
gym.
Minutes
later,
three
Olympia
Fields
Police
Officers
arrive
and
tell
me
that
"somebody
had
called
me
in
as
a
suspicious
vehicle".
The
representative
from
ABC
Financial
advised
that
Reclaim
Fitness
had
absorbed
my
account
and
that
I
was
no
longer
a
member
of
Charter
Fitness,
stating
that
the
Mokena
Reclaim
was
now
my
home
club.
I
had
no
knowledge
of
this
transition
nor
was
my
consent
provided
to
switch
clubs.
On
a
side
note,
it
is
worth
mentioning
that
the
Olympia
Fields
Charter
Fitness
is
filthy
with
equipment
being
used
well
past
it's
life
expectancy-
knobs
on
the
benches
are
missing,
spring
grips
for
barbells
are
warped,
padding
is
ripped
and
covered
in
grime,
pins
for
weight
stacks
are
either
bent
or
missing,
and
there
is
an
extremely
thick
layer
of
dust
on
all
horizontal
surfaces
near
the
ceiling
(sprinkler
pipes,
rafters,
etc.).
