SCAD Students, Stay FAR FAR away from this place! I had a membership when I lived in Savannah several years ago. I used to go late at night after work. My debit card and several checks were stolen from the locker room. I belief it was a member of the cleaning crew who wrote checks for a Savannah State tuition payment from my account.
If that was the only bad thing that happened at 24 hr fitness, I could probably forgive them. After I graduated, I moved back to Pennsylvania. I wrote them a letter with a utility bill when I returned home (as per their request) saying that I wanted to terminate my contract. These terms were specifically written into my contract, because I was a student and lived more than 30 miles away. I didn't hear from them, and assumed everything was in order. 6 months later I received a call from a collections agency saying that I owed 6 months payment. When I contacted 24 hr fitness, they said that because the letter I had sent 6 months prior was not certified, I had violated my contract and owed payments for the full 2 years of the contract (I had already attended the gym for a year and was paid up through the time that I canceled my contract). I contacted my lawyer and she instructed me to resend the letter via certified mail with detailed information showing that I had been living in Philadelphia for the past 6 months, bank statements showing the first year of payments, etc. I did this, and they refused my package. The collections agency stopped calling, but this is still an issue that I am trying to sort out on my credit report.
DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THIS GYM. They take advantage of students and should not be trusted. You hear about big name gyms doing this sort of thing, this is a personal account of a real person who was taken advantage by 24 hr fitness! STAY AWAY!
