I to got tricked into signing up for personal training at Urban Active. I was not told I was signing a contract, but for permission to take the monthly fees out of my checking account.
After a bad first experience with my trainer I decided this wasn't for me. I was also told I had a twelve month contract and there was nothing they could do to help me.
After many calls to the corporate office, a rip off report, and a BBB complaint, and a threat for an Attorney Generals complaint they finally took me seriously. They ended up canceling the contract and refunding me about 2/3 of the money I had put down.
This company honestly doesn't care about reports on here. They post that same bogus comment on every report on here. If you want something done I would file a BBB complaint. It took quite a bit of time and a few go arounds with them but ultimately they resolved the problem. And since they dont have a signature on file for you or your friend I would have her contact her bank and have them reverse the charges.
I hope this helps you!!
