beware price increase at Rockin' Fitness

[she-of-emeralds.livejournal.com]

Hi folks,

I was just made aware of an increase in the monthly membership fee at the Rockin' Fitness in Porter Square (used to be Planet Fitness). I only found out through my bank. It's gone from ten bucks/month to $14.99. They say they sent out notices about a month ago, but I never got one. Did anyone who's a member there get this notice? It's not that big an increase but I think they could have made it a lot more obvious. Say by putting signs up in the gym.

Just so y'all know.

This won't end well

When you consider the online interactions these guys had just about a year ago...

I got a notice in the mail. I'm quitting this week, btw -- $10/month is fine to pay for the quality they offer, but $15 is just a bit too much (and I actually have a free gym at work, even if it has less reliable hours)

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me now that Boston Sports Club in Davis Square has $19.95/month membership. Isn't BSC a much nicer gym?

There's a lot to be said for proximity.

I got no notice, though they claimed they sent one. I'm intending to quit this weekend and immediately tell my bank to stop any payment to them.

I thought about the Boston Sports Club in Davis Square but I believe, based on different signs I've seen in their windows in passing, that their membership prices vary according to how many privileges you want to pay for. Their unhelpful website was... unhelpful... in this regard. I am not at all pleased with what Rockin' Fitness did (failed to do) about the price increase, and I may go and have a talk with the manager there, but for the moment I'll be sticking with them--proximity *is* useful, and I like the fact that there are large numbers of treadmills etc.--I rarely find it crowded. (Of course that could be because I deliberately go during the day at times when it's not going to be very full...)

IMO, a 50% increase is a lot. They seem to have been shady all along.

Normal

i think that four bucks is a normal increase
