Just because other people do it, doesn't make it right!I always wondered how so many of these places seemed to just spring up quickly over night and being that they seem to be a rather small gym I wondered how they stay in business. Now I know that their profit is mostly on the unspecting people who do not yet realize they are still being charged............I am sure it is in the contract, which is why I never sign up on the first day for anything.

If you don't want it to renew automatically, fill out a cancellation form when you join with an effective date at the end of the year (or two). But really, it's the exact same thing that cell phone comanies do. And cable companies, and satellite companies, and internet companies. Read the contract.

In responce to "Anonymous, KNOXVILLE, Tennessee": I feel like I'm experiencing deja vu as I read your post re: erroneous charges from 'Curves for Women', right down to the 5 months it took for me to realize I was still being charged. Your experience is exactly the same as mine. I've often wondered (when I was still visiting 'Curves') how they could manage to keep going with so few members. Now I know; they're simply continuing to charge the former members after the "contract" has ended. And as for the x-Curves owner/manager stating she's seen this happen over & over... um... shouldn't that be a clue to the fact that something needs to change with this - ? Obviously it's intentional. Oh I'm sure 'Curves' has all the tiny writing in order; it's still crappy business practice & I'll be putting this out there every chance I get. x-Curves member, I think. [email protected]

I am a former Assistant Manager of several Curves locations and ran in to this all too often. It happened so often due to people not paying attention during the signup process and being negligent with their bank accounts. Not only is it written down on paper with a copy given to the new member, but it is also verbally repeated. If a contract states that it will automatically continue until you cancel....then that's what you are signing up for!
