Hey,
I was just wondering how the fight went with Buckhead. Im not sure what else to call it since I work for Crunch, but Crunch no longer owns that location. I guess the new company that owns that location has made major changes. When it was a Crunch I heard and seen from pictures online that it was a VERY NICE CLUB...And I totally understand your desire to work out there.
While I am not a representative that can speak for the company, nor do I dare to assume that duty, I will say that Crunch appreciates their members, former, current, and future, and we want all of them to experience a gym that is different and capable of supporting their fitness needs. I also can not speak for Sportslife, or LA Fitness or how they handle memberships, but as a fellow consumer, I feel "lifetime" memberships have two definitions.... A. Lifetime of the business/location of said company in the contract signed, B. Lifetime of the member. Pretty simple.
Give us an update on your ripoff report. I personally would like to know how memberships were handled when clubs changed hands.

I talked to the Georgia Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs yesterday. They say that if LA Fitness refuses to honor our lifetime memberships, Crunch has to "give us" gym privileges at Buckhead. That still doesn't address how I somehow miraculously became a Parkway Pointe member when I joined (Sportslife) at Windy Hill and always went to Buckhead. But, I'm glad to know we have advocates to help us. We'll see what actually happens. Anyone aggrieved about Crunch's activities should contact the Governor's office.
