well i thought ive already paid 65 pounds and canceling it meant i wouldnt get them back..so i opted for a 3 months contract as later the same guy contradicted himself that they do infact have 3 months contracts..so anyway they didnt change it there and then as the manager wasnt there..Now i am hoping theyre not dragging me along coz technically ive crossed my 10 days grace period but i did inform them on the 8th day about changing my contract to 3 months. It hasnt been actioned yet. I did ask the guy to gimme in writing that its okay but he said it would be meaningless and pointless to giv something in writing and it would be dealthwith next week. coz the manager said its fine so i shudnt worry. Hopefully they wouldnt try to con my into a 12 months contract when later, while i will be thinking its a 3 month's. Hence, ill be on the manager's case from next week. who apparently knows abt my case and says it wil be okay! *fingers crossed*

Hi all! Okay so i just recently joined fitness first coz i felt i needed some activity in my lazy and robotic lifestyle of being a student as well as working at the same time. I have an office job so felt the need to join a gym. anyway! my friend was going to the ff gym and i decided to join in. i was under the impression that i could get the ff membership for 3 months and then i can go on from there..but obv they said they dont do 3 months memberships ( this is when i shouldve stopped but i didnt) and i saidd okay fine..ive no other expenses so might as well pay for the gym. but when i asked my other friend abt it, i was told that they do 3 months memberships in fact and it is in the contract but of course i stupidly let the guy at the gym fill it in for me. One of their sales tactics im sure coz i didnt bother reading the contract n just signed it in the end. 6 days on and i am beginning to realize ive made the biggest mistake ever!! 1)its 40 mins on the tube 2)50 quids is too expensive for a student 3) the friend i was counting on as a partner is leaving for like 2 months! 4)i ddint know they ddi a 3 months contract! stupid i knw...sigh! 5)i want out and it says so in the contract that: "If you are dissatisfied with the service offered by us for any reason within the first 10 days of becoming a member, with the exception of the start up fees which are not refundable, you are entitled to a refund of any membership fees paid subject to presenting the 10-day comfort guarantee voucher at your Home Club during that 10 day period." I did not get any such voucher and my 10 days are still not up. I did call up my gym today and told em I was not told they ddi a 3 month contract as well. And that I want to cancel it coz it says so in the contract that I can within the first 10 days. Of course they did not mention or give me any comfort guarantee voucher. But I am still within my 10 days. First they girl there said i cant cancel the contract but when i read out the clause to her she gave me the head office number. I am guessing they are gonna drag me along till my 10 days are over and then theyll tell me theres nothing they can do. Any suggestions?! i need help!!! 50 pounds outta my account every month..come to think of it..thts insane!! and totally and utterly ignorant AND stupid on my part but i would appreciate is someone can help me..please!!
