I happen to be one of the unfortunate people who fell for their line of crap, deception and lies.

This company invited me down and totally won me over with the charts and figures of the monthly income of selected Ladies Workout Expresses. Key word, selected! They took full service gyms and called them the old ladies workout express. This income is only produced in a large full service gym not the express concept. This I learned after they suckered me in and I purchased many franchises.
Now it gets worse, they promise you corporate support and you get nothing!

The former owner and now the new owners have their hands in everything so you are paying them twice! From every vendor they suggest you use, even the ugly pink carpet, they get a kick back!

The money management people kick back to them at the owners expense.

You pay $195 per month on national advertising which so far has been a lousy blurred ad in People Magazine. The clubs are closing monthly and with that so are the dreams we purchased when we were conned by this company.
To make matters worse, the company uses bully tactics to keep you in place. They will call and threaten you! Mind you that don't have the guts to put it in writing. Beware of Bret, he is chief bully master.

What ever you do please do not buy anything from Lady Of America! You will make more money and have peace of mind selling hot dogs on the corner!

Another sucker in NY
