      DONT EVER SIGN UP!! The worst customer service I've ever experienced. I have not been out there facility and nearly 9 years and I've paid every month with an additional $40 each year... that's an estimate of $1,500 paid to them during a time that I have even been there. Ihave called to cancel numerous times and they asked me to come in, but I do not live near the area anymore. They have refused to cancel over the phone or email me a PDF to sign. So l've had to continue payment. my credit card that it went on just expired last month. Now they are after me for $20 and instead of just saying thank you for being a customer of ours of all these years we will cancel it no problem they are trying to get me to pay them and then come in again to cancel. If I could give them worse than one star I would. Now threatening me that the yearly $40 is about to process. "I'm sorry ma'am there's nothing we can do". Of course there is something they can do! There is a lot more they can do! Figure it out! Heres an idea:We hate to see you go, but would love the opportunity to have you back in the future. We see you havent been here in 8+ years and we see you have tried to contact customer service numerous times in the past. We will waive this $20 and cancel the membership. We look forward to having you back to one of our facilities in the future.
