Anytime F SC@M?

Me and my bestfriend joined Anytime Fitness last March 27, 2024 and paid 2650 for the a month's subscription. 1 year subscription sya and we thought na after a month pa ulit yung next payment but then may charge na ulit today, April 1. Ang sabi ng staff, every first of the month daw yung charge which I admit na mali namin na hindi namin naintindihan. Ang unfair lang kasi sana sinabi na sa April na kami mag enroll para di masayang yung pera sa March payment.

Also, we were misled. Akala namin kasali na yung services ng trainers sa subscription pero pina pirma pa kami bago sabihin na need pala magbayad ng trainers on top of the subscription fees. This information WAS NOT disclosed to us.

We have been doing home workouts at home for 3 months before we went to the gym and already made progress pero during the assessment, hindi masyado pinapansin ng coaches yung progress namin from doing home workouts for 3 months. Yun pala at the end of the assessment, they tried to sell us their personal training sessions that cost 1400 PER SESSION. Tapos 6 months daw bago namin ma achieve yung goal weight namin. Imagine 15-20sessionsx1400x6months?! Ang dating pa is mas maganda daw talaga kung may trainer para ma correct kami and makita yung progress (we already lost 5kg by working out at home) Ang bait lang nila sa umpisa pero pag di sila naka make ng sale, parang meh na. We felt scammed. Plus nahihiya na kami mag workout while andun yung coaches kasi during the assessment, they were pointing out the flaws in our body and baka i judge kami kung mali kaming magawa since di kami nag avail ng napaka mahal na services. After the subscription, di din kami introduce sa equipments and facilities, pinagbayad lang tapos wala na.

Now we are planning to cancel/leave/ghost them kasi napaka unethical talaga and the purpose sana ng pag gigym namin is maging at ease or at home sa gym pero naging dark na yung vibe for us and nakaka walang gana tbh.

Baka i-delete yung comments nyo so I suggest na you send me a DM of what you will comment or suggest about this. Please share your experiences too. Paying 5k EACH for cancellation on a gym subscription we were only able to use for 2 hours which we paid for 2650 is very frustrating :(
 
@jimbigheart I had a nunber of bad experiences din Sa AF especially sa pang se sales talk ng mga coaches nila.

Finally, patapos na ung 100 sessions ko sa coach ko na in reality halos hindi ko nmn kinailangan after my 3rd month in gym. Literal na taga spot ko na lang siya sa Compound exercises at wala na after. Puro Bro science karamihan ng alam nila at mas madami ka pa matutunan sa internet.

Pinaka malapit na commercial gym kasi siya samen at i have no space at home para mag workout, kaya ni let go ko na lang ung hard feelings para hindi ako mabadtrip everytime na pupunta ako ng gym.

Focus na lang ako sa goals ko at as much as possible warn the newbies to never get more than 20 or 30 pt sessions, kasi it's not worth it and a total waste of money.
 
@zachm531 Hahahaha I remember 2022 where I availed 30 sessions of that PT. 11 sessions lang ata talaga napuntahan ko sa sobrang badtrip ko sa PT ko haha. 2 years after, okay naman na result ko. I can bench more than 105kg, squat 170kg, deadlift 190kg. Lahat yan na-reach ko sa panonood na lang ng Jeff Nippard videos HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AF SCAM
 
@annec1975 Yan ata regular rate. I only paid 25k for 30 sessions plus 5 free sessions. Around 700 lang per session if isasama yung free na 5. Pero I ghosted my trainer na because I got bored and feel ko sinales talk lang ako. 11 sessions lang ako sa kanya and wala ako natutunan. Dude's not even correcting my form. Narealize ko lang nung I gained enough experience sa gym. Also to add, madalas niya ipagsabay mga clients niya. So like 4 kami tinuturuan niya in that 1 hour doing different thingz. Na-off ako kasi wala man lang siya ginawang personalized program for my goals. Kung ano trip niya or trip nung other clients, ayun pinapagawa saken. Haha. May one time nga, pinagzumba niya ako. Jusko.

But ayun, sobrang scam talaga. What I did na lang is I went with Jeff Nippard's PPL. I ran it for 6 months and then nag power building ako also from Nippard. Now, intermediate program na doing 5/3/1s. So far so good.
 
@ttoomm67 July 2022 lang ako nagstart. Here's what boosted my numbers after I ghosted my AF PT:
  1. Started out with r/fitness Linear Based Progressive PPL Program. Ran it from August to November 2022.
  2. Jeff Nippard's Modified PPL Program (5x Frequency) - November 2022 - June 2023
  3. Jeff Nippard's Powerbuilding Phase 1 - June 2023 - October 2023
  4. Jeff Nippard's Powerbuilding Phase 2 - October 2023 - January 2024
  5. 5/3/1 - Present
I have the copy of the spreadsheet for the ppl program. DM me your email. Ill send it to you.
 
@zachm531 I havent subscribed to AF yet pero I did kanto gym when I was in college in Manila and the staff there were kind enough to spot for me when I need to. Ask ko lang if ano klaseng spot culture meron sa AF if those trainers do it (for free when u ask them) or you have to ask fellow lifters to spot for you? Thanks
 
@fruitman33 In my case, talagang nag iispot lang yung Coach ko para may masabi nagawa siya at pumirma ako dun sa log book nila. Kasi by number of pt sessions per cutoff nila ung binabayaran sa kanila.

What's worse is mali pa ung pag iispot nya. Nakikibuhat din siya imbis na naka standby Lang siya pag di mo na kaya to go for another rep.

I my observation, wala sa home AF gym ang nag papa spot kasi karamihan casual gym goers at enough na sa kanila ung mga safety bars sa squat/barbell rack. Ung mga coaches lng nag iispot sa mga clients nila or mga magkaka gym buddy lang ang nag iispotan.
 
@jimbigheart I suggest lumipat ka na lang ng branch and don't entertain the coaches/offers. If napapansin mo naman na may progress ka, edi mabuti. You don't need the opinions ng coaches.

When I started sa AF, binebentahan nila ako ng mga sessions etc. I declined lang, ang habol ko lang naman kasi talaga yung equipment and the 24/7 access. I know my goals and program already. If nag ooffer naman sila ng free assessment, edi okay go. It's FREE naman so why not?
 
@shineannette Yes, may mga branches na ok naman yung tao. Ok in terms of maganda yung community, mababait yung coaches etc. Sa current gym ko, i gained a lot of new friends, even the coaches are my friends na.
 
@louise502 Agree. Maganda lang talaga mag AF kapag may alam ka na para di ka mabubudol ng mga coaches nilang sablay. Kung complete newbie ka kakainin nila wallet mo.
