1 /5 Johnetta Dixon: Planet Fitness is a ripoff. I signed a one year contract for membership. Paid for the year even though I couldn’t physically access the gym anymore due to health issues and surgery. Called the customer service number AFTER my contract ended to cancel membership. They stated I could mail a letter to the club (Alexandria, La) which I did. They claim they never received it. I went in there in May to CANCEL because they claimed they never got the letter. The worker gave me a letter for cancellation that has a ZERO BALANCE on it. They charged me AFTER the fact. I have been trying to get a refund for May which I should get a refund going back to January but I let that go. Needless to say they didn’t process me a refund. It’s not about the money it’s about the principle. I did what I was told to do. I paid my contract. They auto renewed it because they claim they didn’t receive my cancellation letter. Then they charged me after the fact of me physically coming into the gym, stating I didn’t cancel in enough time. When I actually did! Total rip off. Whenever I am able to join another gym it won’t be Planet Fitness.
