Here is the link to the BBB showing their F rating for the same concerns. Also, here are links to the lawsuits the GM claims dont exist. You do not get a free month. When you go to cancel prior to 30 days you are charged for an annual fee that advertising says doesn't get charged for 60 days. A $100 charge to cancel your membership you had for less than 30 days is not a free membership or a free month. Your advertisements all say there is no annual fee and have annual fees crossed out in the graphics. Then the very small print says there is no annual fee for 60 days. The GM also claims that "all gyms" charge annual fees. That is incorrect. The gym we are currently at has no annual fee. Also, only requires 2 week's notice to cancel your membership.

Later, while I was on the treadmill, Miguel and another employee looked at me and were talking; as I left, I asked the other employee if there was an issue? The employee yelled, "It's all about you, dude!" while eating and having ear buds in. I called the next day and told Miguel a better way to handle it would have been, "I'm sorry--I'll look into it." He apologized, I said that was all I needed, and then he disconnected the call. This didn't feel like a Judgment Free Zone, and I no longer feel comfortable here. I don't recommend this location.

I also appreciate the clean folks that are keeping the place spotless. I also appreciate some of the equipment being bolted down to the floor so people can't make a mess with them. Now, I wish they would clean up the weights for the lifters who can't seem to do the math and end up mixing up the weights all over. e.g. there is no need to have 3 5 lbs and a 2.5 lb hanging on the side of the squat rack. The other equipment is normally worse. If all the weights were labeled with where they belong, and cleaned up and organized once a week it would be great and it would be even nicer. The rest of this still stands.

I had paid for my last month when I joined. Apparently in the fine print you have to give 10 days notice for it to be "processed in California," otherwise you're out another $50 for the next month's dues. Honestly, does it really take 10 days to process that cancellation? I highly doubt it, but if that's the case, Aspen should seriously work on its efficiency. Hello? It's 2011. Get with it. Furthermore, it did not take 10 days for them to process my initial payment of the first and last month's dues PLUS a joining fee. In addition to that, every January a member is charged a $20 maintenance fee, which I find ridiculous. Shouldn't the maintenance of the equipment be something guaranteed within one's already expensive monthly dues? Several months ago I was offered a free training session with one of their personal trainers. While the session was effective, I found myself being seriously pressured to buy a personal training package at the end of the hour. I had to decline several times and felt really uncomfortable at the end. I think saying no once or twice should really be sufficient. Overall, the classes are nice and the equipment is generally up to date (thanks to that extra yearly cost presumably...) but the company as a whole tries to take its customers

This is unacceptable. When I met Thomas, I explain to him how important my sobriety was and he put people in my path That actively drink and use marijuana. This is not acceptable from the outside. This looks like a wonderful program. I'm telling you be cautious.
