DO
NOT
DO
THE
FREE
TRIAL
CLASS
I
went
to
one
free
trial
class
with
this
gym
(thinking
I
was
trying
a
women's
self-defense
class
when
I
was
not,
more
on
that
later)
and
it
turned
into
a
4
month
financial
nightmare.
The
person
who
took
me
into
the
office
afterward
explained
their
membership
structure
and
told
me
I
would
get
a
discount
for
signing
up
that
day.
I
told
her
I
couldn't
do
that
because
I
was
doing
a
free
trial
class
with
a
few
other
gyms
later
in
the
week
to
compare.
She
assured
me
that
I
could
give
her
my
card
information
but
hold
off
on
the
first
charge
for
a
few
weeks,
try
the
other
gyms,
and
if
I
decided
I
didn't
want
to
do
the
membership
before
the
first
charge
set
in
I
could
call
and
cancel
it
all.
I
asked
multiple
times
if
I
would
avoid
all
charges
as
long
as
I
called
to
decline
the
membership
before
the
first
charge
date
and
she
reassured
me
yes.
Sure
enough,
I
called
early
in
the
morning
the
day
before
the
first
charge/membership
was
set
to
start
and
explained
to
someone
else
that
I
wanted
to
cancel
and
that
the
person
I
met
with
assured
me
I
could
cancel
by
said
date
and
avoid
all
charges.
He
said
that
doesn't
sound
like
their
policy
but
it
was
fine,
he
just
needed
to
check
with
the
person
I
met
with
to
confirm
she
said
that
and
they
would
get
back
to
me
in
the
afternoon
to
verify
that
my
membership
would
be
canceled
with
no
charges.
They
never
got
back
to
me.
I
called
several
times
later
in
the
day
and
did
not
get
an
answer.
Worried
I
would
be
charged
since
I
never
received
verification
of
cancelation,
I
had
to
cancel
my
credit
card
and
have
a
new
one
sent.
Sure
enough,
they
tried
to
push
a
charge
through
the
following
day
despite
assuring
me
it
would
be
taken
care
of
but
thankfully
the
charge
couldn't
be
processed
due
to
the
change
in
my
credit
card
number.
Well,
somehow
a
month
and
a
half
later
they
managed
to
charge
my
new
card
number.
They
continued
charging
me
3
months
in
a
row,
$167
each,
for
a
total
of
around
$500
before
I
noticed
the
fraudulent
charges
and
called
my
bank.
All
this
while,
I
was
paying
interest
on
these
charges
and
ended
up
with
a
late
payment
fee
because
I
never
use
this
card
and
didn't
expect
any
charges
to
show
up
on
it.
If
I
hadn't
noticed
sooner
it
could've
wrecked
my
credit
too.
What's
more,
when
I
called
my
bank,
they
told
me
the
gym
had
actually
manually
input
my
new
credit
card
number.
I've
never
been
back
to
the
gym
since
that
initial
visit
or
given
them
my
new
credit
card
(or
even
used
the
physical
card
as
I
don't
keep
it
in
my
wallet)
so
I
have
no
idea
how
they
got
that
information.
The
number
was
close
to
my
old
one
so
it's
almost
like
they
were
trying
different
variations
until
one
worked,
especially
since
the
charge
showed
up
6
weeks
after
the
initial
attempt
to
charge
me
failed.
Sooooo
shady!!!
ON
TOP
OF
ALL
OF
THIS,
my
first
trial
class
was
extremely
uncomfortable
for
me.
I
showed
up
expecting
a
women's
self
defense
class
(as
that's
what
I
inquired
about)
and
was
thrown
into
a
jiu
jitsu
class
with
all
men.
I
told
the
person
who
greeted
me
that
I
didn't
feel
comfortable
with
that
but
I
felt
pressured
by
them
to
join
the
class
anyway.
I'm
not
super
comfortable
with
physical
touch
with
strangers,
especially
men
and
especially
being
the
only
woman
in
the
room
with
no
knowledge
of
what
jiu
jitsu
even
is,
and
I
didn't
like
that
this
wasn't
even
considered
by
the
person
who
did
my
intake.
This
was
why
I
decided
not
to
go
with
this
gym
in
the
first
place,
and
the
financial
nightmare
that
ensued
was
cherry
on
top.
It's
too
bad
they
feel
they
have
to
pressure
folks
and
engage
in
scammy
behavior
because
it
did
seem
like
a
great
gym
for
people
who
are
sure
they
want
to
do
jiu
jitsu
and
are
willing
to
lock
themselves
into
a
contract,
but
after
the
way
they
sneakily
charged
my
card
without
my
knowledge
and
ignored
my
calls,
I
cannot
recommend
this
gym
to
anyone.
