Then they gave us membership cards with wrong spelling of our names and would not correct them when we asked. I tried to sign up for a class and pay the fee for members but was overcharged despite what was being advertised as the price on the flyers and course catalog. We went back and spoke with a different person to credit us the overcharge. But he would not credit us the amount nor would he look into what the issue was (why we were charged the different amount). He just said the price is different than advertised. Jeff said he would take down the flyers advertising the "wrong" price but he never did. Since we were not reimbursed the overpayment we opted instead to just drop the class and get the whole fee reimbursed. We were told in the future we could do it online because classes were listed there, but when we checked, our membership record did not have any of our classes listed. I assume they were on the other "records" with our names in the system instead. Later when signing our child up for a different class, yet another lady at the front desk was rude. She said the class is in a few minutes so we might not be able to get in if it's no longer listed on the computer. I had already confirmed with the instructor that there was room in the class and that we could in fact sign up that day and had written confirmation. However, Beth said it does not matter what the instructor says. I have no idea what the point of her saying that was because she did in fact accept my payment for the class registration. So there should never have been an issue. She also said we have four records in the system but she did not offer to merge them, delete them or help in any way with what we are supposed to do about that. It would be helpful to train customer service how to be polite with customers and also to problem solve and correct things that don't seem right (wrong charges or duplicate records) even if it means taking the extra time to go to their supervisors to get help rather than ignore issues that customers are having.

I just wanted to see if there was any way Family Wellness could facilitate and they just said NO. No alternative or suggestion. I am on a very tight fixed income and I do not need a full membership. I just want to swim. Why do they not offer a discounted membership for people with disabling health issues? It's not as if I would be able to utilize all the GYM offers. I don't want free. I just want to pay for the services people like me can use. I don't need treadmills, weights, or an elliptical. Doesn't seem too unreasonable to me.

This is a hassle when I have some work that I would like to get done.

The level of instruction is very good, and the level of competition from the other students matches this very well. I rolled with numerous students and none of them was anything other than respectful and courteous. They have nothing to prove here, and their confidence shows. George and Sarah emphasize drilling with a couple of days per week devoted to rolling. The classes include both women and men, but Sarah seemed to spend more time rolling with the women. This seems to me to work well if you are a woman who will roll with anyone or someone who wants to roll with women only. There is also Thai boxing taught here as a curriculum which looks very good also, but I didn't take any of those classes. If you are looking to roll BJJ in Fargo, look no further than Fargo Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!

I found them on Google, looking for a place to dance on my free time. It was easy to book a class last minute, as soon as I knew my plane landed on time. I took mixed levels pole class with RoseE, which was SO fun. Everyone was warm and inviting, instantly making me feel like I belonged in their community. Even the owner stopped by to say hello to everyone before she taught her class. Parking was easy to find, and each building (for aerial & pole) was clearly labeled. What a great workout and the perfect way to get to know Fargo. Already excited for another trip here!

I have some doubts about this YMCA having serious racial discrimination. I'm a YMCA member, with…read moreautomatic monthly deductions, but I rarely attend YMCA events. On August 11th, a classmate of my younger son invited him to play at the YMCA. So, despite heavy rain, we went to this YMCA. However, when we tried to swipe my membership card for entry, we were informed that my card had expired last month and were asked to leave and reapply for membership. Seeing my child's disappointed expression, I asked the staff if it's possible to renew the membership now since it's set up for automatic deductions. They could deduct the payment now. The staff coldly replied: "No!" They demanded that we go home and reapply by filling out forms. I attempted to negotiate, saying: "We came a long way in the rain, can I fill the form now and could you please update my membership card now?" The response remained indifferent: "No! You must fill out a new application. It's our policy.." Can I read your policy? I asked. No! I don't have it...... I asked, "Could you please have your manager check if it's possible to update it now?" The reply was, "I am the manager," and proudly showed me his name tag: Max! I'm not sure if this is the YMCA's policy or discrimination against me as an Asian? Membership expiration wasn't communicated, and the renewal process is so troublesome! Being treated this way as a YMCA member, humiliated in front of my child, has left me heartbroken!
