I was told that they 100% took my insurance (I have CareFirst BlueChoice) and they even went so far as to let me know how many visits per year are covered by my insurance for each of the staff members I would be working with. The problem is that they failed to mention that CoreLife stopped partnering with my insurance in 2020!!! What they told me when I called about the $1896.00 bill that was sent to me 3 months later was that they just received notification from MY INSURANCE that I was not covered for their services. They knew I wasn't covered, yet kept telling me I was and not to worry about it!! What a scam this company is. They wait until you are so far in that you now need to dig yourself out of a BIG HOLE that they put you in!! I was informed by the girl doing the intake that corporate makes them tell patients they are covered! These people are unethical to say the least. So now I have filed a complaint with both the Attorney General as well as the Better Business Bureau. This company should be put out of business for their practices. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT USE THE SERVICES OF THIS COMPANY! Use any other health care provider for your weight loss needs. I recommend using the Maryland Medical Clinic in Frederick Md.

My insurance was verified about a week prior to starting the program. I was told that the initial intake would be 100% covered, to include seeing the nurse, nutritionist and movement person. I was told that, after the intake, my insurance would not cover any visit with the nutritionist. I agreed to pay that cost out of pocket. My final visit to Core Life was on May 25, 2022. Up to that point, the billing still was up to date but I continued to pay what I owed until I thought my financial obligation was complete. On March 22, 2023, I received a bill in the amount of $321.60 for the initial consultation with the nutritionist on October 21, 2021. I tried getting the issued resolved with the billing department but the person I spoke to said she couldn't do anything to help and that I would have to contact the Westminster office directly. So, I tried that twice with the promise of "it's being reviewed" and "I'll get back to you." Since then, I've received two more bills both with the same statement date. I have NEVER received a call back. This billing issue has ruined my whole experience with Core Life. If you need help, try a different provider. No one needs this kind of aggravation. Barbara J.

If you don't want all the unnecessary bells and whistles that the big corporate chains have but still have the basics and then some, this is a great place to join! I have a student membership and pay month-to-month for $25 without a contract. They have various other membership packages and definitely cater to family fitness. Not only do you have the cardio room and 2 weight rooms (both free weights and machines), but they have a day care center, a giant gymnasium for basketball and some of the larger group fitness classes like Zumba, and then other smaller rooms for yoga, etc. All fitness classes are included in your membership. You're also able to pay to workout or go to a class per day as opposed to a monthly membership if you go less frequently. They offer personal training and have a fun, warm, and friendly staff to help you get settled. If you're looking for a gym to feel comfortable, have options, and not pay ridiculous monthly fees, this is a place worth checking out! And the funny part is that most people don't know that this building is a gym! It's the old armory building on Longwell at the entrance of the park off Main Street and across from Paradiso.

It is a total disgrace what happened at this gym; a certain individual harassed me in the restroom, trying to touch my private parts and even grabbing and squeezing my arm. This person is a complete maniac. I filed a complaint with management, but upper management said they couldn't do anything because there was no proof--meaning no one else had seen it. Unfortunately, I was alone in the restroom, which is why this sick individual assaulted me. I don't know what happens next, since this person will keep coming back; I was told that if he assaults me again, I'll have to defend myself. I hope they don't lack evidence then when he tries to harm me, because--sadly--since he is an American citizen, they can justify any act of perversion, violence, or sexual assault he might commit. Meanwhile, I am a Hispanic person with Hispanic features who isn't listened to. I understand perfectly well that they support these acts of violence against people of the same gender here. I respect everyone's views, but it would be good if they respected mine--and respected *me*. The restroom has become a problem; they refuse to act because they claim they are waiting for something even worse to happen. This person tried to grab my private parts--something completely alien to my ideology and my view of my own gender as a man. This guy is a sicko who goes around harassing people in the restrooms; he looks absolutely deranged. I don't know what comes next, but this time I will defend myself. I may have to use violence, but this guy is not laying a hand on me again. Be very careful in the restrooms; management is ignoring these cases. I am an adult and can defend myself, but what about minors? They are exposed to this kind of depravity, and upper management covers it up. read more

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF SERVING PLANET FITNESS. I tried to cancel my membership in December, but I had to drive an hour away and when I was there they said their system was down. I don't believe their assocaites named Antonio and Rubio knew how to do their jobs. They said they will take care of it and get the manager involved. Then in January, I was charged $20 again and I spoke to the Manager named Kayla and she assured me I would not be charged, I was charged again in February and I'm pretty sure they will charge me again in March. No one wants to go to Planet Fitness because they do not properly take care of their facility, too occupied and their employees do not know how to work their computers or register. They will not start charging my card and at this point, Planet Fitness is stealing from me and will steal from you. I went to Planet Fitness on The Alameda in Baltimore Maryland. They have been putting me on a run around for months and making excuses about being technically unequipped. DO NOT GO TO PLANETFITNESS. THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY. read more

planet fitness requires a bank account in order to pay monthly fees, the many illegal aliens and borderline homeless that inundate the Westminster PF at 11PM I'm sure do not have bank accounts.

The Hill Y in Westminster tries to offer too many activities in a small amount of space often sacrificing regular programming and affecting its members. I am tired of seeing text messages and emails saying, "we are sorry for the inconvenience" or "try this class instead". Unnecessary group exercise class cancellations truly affect my well-being. If the YMCA administrators and decision makers were truly sorry, they would make a change, prorate our memberships, or compensate members by lowering the price of monthly memberships. Instead, the prices increase each year. Here is an example of how the decision is made to cancel classes: Friday evening, 2/16/24, a decision was made to cancel FOUR group exercise classes because of predicted snow fall on Saturday morning. Here I sit on Saturday morning, 2/17/24, and the roads are clear. The Hill YMCA is opening at the regular time, but all the group exercise classes are cancelled this morning.
