Hello Everyone, I'm new to this forum and have noticed something in my search for contract cancellation advice. It may already be answered, but I haven't actually seen it anywhere.
This is what I've noticed... while searching the web for answers about the best way to cancel my Bally contract, mind you I have no physical aliments that a doctor's note will excuse, nor do I live more than 25 miles from a Bally, and I am not dead - yet.
Anyhow, looking at the fine print of my month to month contract, no where does it state that I need a feasable excuse to terminate my membership. Why can't I just end when I want to? Am I missing something??? Why do we need an excuse of "death" to be released?
I want to end my contract for a number of reasons, one being that I do not feel comfortable in the gym environment. I tried it and didn't like it. I really tried to, but it's just not for me. Previous to joining Bally, I tried Cardinal Fitness, Curves, even Woman's Workout World (many years ago) and I've come to the conclusion I just don't like it. Period. And, Bally's is the worst because of all the germs. People don't clean up after themselves, older men lay exposed/naked in the sauna and this can be seen from the pool, and frankly, the women's dressing room is just plain unsanitary. But, none of these honest concerns/excuses looks like it will release me from the membership.
Well, I'm only just beginning the process.
Again, my membership is month to month. I've paid a total of 3 months thus far. Today, I sent an email notifying them of my termination. And, I will be sending a registered letter later today. In these letters, I only stated that I want to terminate for personal and financial reasons.
I just don't want to be given a hard time. Any thoughts about the first part of my post regarding needing a life altering excuse? Any advise about not getting ticked in the process?
Thanks in advance. I'm really interested in what you have to share. Teri
