Heads up for former LA Fitness members
I just noticed a pending charge on my credit card for fit club South. that's curious because I had gone into LA Fitness before they shut their doors and had the manager cancel my membership. this is completely contrary to the Illinois consumer protections for fit club memberships.
I called fit club and got a lady who could barely speak English and after repeating that they were complying with the terms of the "membership agreement" over and over again I finally got her to admit that she could cancel my membership. she claimed that she did. I will be keeping an eye on this just to make sure. I plan to file a complaints with both the Springfield police department and the attorney general's consumer fraud division if a charge does go through. i also explained this to her.
