Experience with Bally Hand Grip Exerciser

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Bought a Adjustable Grip Exerciser from Google in June of 2019. Had a 2nd one that I was using and spring broke. So, I used the 2nd newer unit. After 1 usage and maybe 25 squeezes, it broke the spring at about the same place. These hand "Grip Exercisers" are complete junk!!!! Of course it was made in China!

Bally Total Fitness - Membership Review from Baldwinsville, New York

Terrible, terrible gym! Please I urge you not to join this place because although it may seem like a great place to work out, these people are so deceiving. They'll tell you one thing, and do another. I tried canceling my membership with this company and their district manager gave me the okay on it, but a week later they continue charging me. I had to put a stop-payment against this company multiple times because they would change their names on the transactions. If you do decide to go, only go for a trial. But what ever you do, NEVER ever hand them your credit card or bank information!

Charging without authorization

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Bally Fitness charged my credit card without my permission- I cancelled membership YEARS ago (>7, and have not been in the gym for 7 years as well!!!) and suddenly saw a charge $192.60 that was posted a few months ago. I don't check my credit card statements every month, its paid automatically, and unfortunately its too late to dispute with the credit card. I called my card to block Bally Total Fitness merchant. I tried to call corporate center to Bally Fitness to ask why they charged my card, but its a total waste of time- cannot get anyone to talk to. I cannot believe that they were allowed to operate for so many years.
