I have been debating to cancel my gym membership for quite a while now. The main reason I have not cancelled is because my mother enjoys going. The gym itself is fine in terms of equipment and classes but I had a few unpleasant encounters with a few reception persons. These encounters make me sort of just want to skip the reception area.
There were at least a few people who were unfamiliar with paperwork that they don't have to do on a regular basis. As a result, I overpaid for quite a number of months. I never did anything because I was pressed for time and it's hard to find the right person to speak to. I eventually fixed the problem but I feel like they may have put a bad note on my file.
I can read, speak and write English but this one staff listened to what I said and summarized my reason for changing my membership from all across Canada to just regional (eventually changed back with bargaining but they may have internally changed back themselves because I really only goto the ones I am close to). That staff did not write what I said. I didn't say anything because I was already used to a few reception area people who don't know how to deal with members. With that said, there were a lot of reception area people who did do their job properly. I am fine with people telling me they don't know how to do something and not do it but I am not fine with people doing something wrong and mess up my membership payment and making it difficult for me to fix it.
It's sad when you ruin a good gym by placing staffs at the front who makes members feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed.
The staff that wrote something completely from what I said was of a certain ethnicity, it makes me wonder sometimes when children translate for their parents, are they really translating what their parents are saying.
