I've been trying to cancel my gym membership for over a month now. Because the WiiFit is going to make me thin, right? Right?
The drawn-out process of cancellation documents not being sent to me, phone calls not returned, and late-fees added to my bill has moved beyond "they're incompetent" to "they're shady."
Me: [trying to be polite on the phone] Look, I know it's not your fault personally, but when I was looking to join a gym everyone told me, "Don't join Ballys. Ballys is totally corrupt. It's almost impossible to cancel your membership." So I joined Crunch. And all of this... forgive me... bullshit... seems like exactly the kind of stuff people say about Ballys.
Crunch Customer Service Operator: Sir... we're owned by Ballys.

Crunch is bad. Even after going in person to quit, they wouldn't leave me alone. A year after quitting, I notice a very significant charge from Crunch on my credit card that was rescinded a week later. Apparently they like to cook their books.
Good luck.
P.S. Have you noticed that WiiFit just says "more than one week" no matter how much longer than a week it goes unused? It's been almost a month now since I've used it and still just "more than one week." Like any good piece of fitness equipment, it nevertheless occupies a prominent place in my living room.
i've quit both of those gyms. i ended up going into crunch and made a manager delete me from their computer while i watched. i was standing over the dude's shoulder, saying, "DELETE! DELETE customer!"
That's a heartening thought that Bally's has such bad PR that they had to start a chain that would both create competition for themselves as well as hide their name.
(p.s., best captcha word ever: kracps)
no wii fit is not going to make you thin. keep the membership so you can do real workouts
