By checking the box, I therefore agree to receive autodialed and manually dialed advertising text messages and cell phone calls from Fitness Connection and its affiliates to the mobile phone number provided here. I would like a Fitness Connection Consultant to follow up with me regarding a membership by text message and/or cell phone call I also would like to receive other offers from Fitness Connection via text message and/or cell phone call.If thats true and they tried to rip off an old lady by overcharging her 6x than they should shame on them. They tried to charge her $180 a month? What kind of "personal training" did she get offered that's beyond absurd!? I don't like Fitness Connection but usually its a $49 sign up fee (negotiable) + $20 a month + a $40 maintenence fee every November (negotiable). Membership Information Rex Wellness Centers | Rex Hospital - Raleigh NC Rex Wellness Centers - Membership Information I would have liked to see her at a gym that cost less per month because of her tight budget, but she's really happy there. She went with a "mid-day membership" for $46 per month. Rex Healthcare has a "Wellness Center" in Cary not too far from her house. My mom ended up finding a gym that she really likes. Fitness Connection has a website that you use to cancel your membership, but we delivered cancellation request letters both in person and via certified mail to make sure. I did some research and found out that North Carolina has a law that says you have three days to cancel a gym membership contract, which is what we did. She was very upset and I was extremely pissed. I think it was $180 a month, which is way more than she can afford. On her first visit after joining, two of their sales people tried to tag-team hard-sell her on a personal trainer program and ended up wearing her down and talking her into it. My mom decided to try "Fitness Connection" (mainly because of the price and the location). I pay $30./month and can go at any time, do any classes, and they have MANY kinds of classes for Seniors to help keep us limber and healthy (chair Yoga, slower Zumba, etc). IN Charlotte, I did better with the many WMCAs who now have lowered their prices for single seniors or at least have 'scholarhips' for them. All it takes, once we have gone thru Menopause or Andropause is a single fall and hip or shoulder fracture. It's a sad program so far for the 10,000 of us baby boomers retiring each day who will absolutely need to have many places to try and remain fit or die.not a joke. I wonder what Healthways gets to contract with the BIG insurance companies and run it?ĭo your homework and go TO the fitness center and check it out with your Mother and let her decide. I found it to be a huge joke.at the Charlotte, NC centers unless I could make those early day classes (which I cannot). EACH city has different facilities that are Silver Sneaker and they discourage your from using more than one in your home city (NOT what S/S says on their website).Their 'classes' for S/S participants, depending on the facility, are few and mostly in the mornings when 20&30-somethings are at their jobs, so we won't be in their space. NONE of the Charlotte area W's allow us and their main fitness centers are the cheesy ones that require little and also provide little. I am not one to spend my retirement $$ on places that are crappy in any ways.Īs for the Silver Sneakers Program, NOW run by 's a lot of 'fluff' and pretty pictures and little else UNLESS the Senior using it is 100% SELF motivated and needs no supervision. I spend a LOT of my retirement time, posting pix and ratings on Yelp since it was 'overhauled'. In MANY cases people should at least LOOK at Yelp prior to going to places and doing things at them.
