Complaint Review: FitInfant - Glendale California

After extensive research, I was unable to find ANY listing of this gym under any permutations of it's name or address. I think the original writer may have been pulling your leg. I would welcome any other identifying information (such as a phone number)or comment.

I was totally shocked when I read your complaint. My experience has been sooo different! Even though I maintained a strict vegan raw food diet throughout my pregnancy, my daughter came out looking like an overweight Shar-pei...gross! I was so ashamed and could not explain to my ex-boyfriend what had happened. My yoga instructer recommended trying natural remedies to tone her up, like fasting and enemas, but nothing worked. The whole experience was so awful - I couldn't possibly show her off to my friends, and the modeling I had hoped to get started right away was totally out of the picture. Enter Fit Infant..they are miracle workers! They really put little Lolita through the paces, and she just won the Junior Miss Pagaent! Thank you, Fit Infant!

I also know about orthopedic disorders, neuromuscular problems, children wearing corrective appliances to correct these problems, etc. A normal baby will be chubby, then grow in length. Normal exercise for a baby is reaching, stretching, turning over, grasping. There is no problem with weight control in older children, but common sense dictates not to put a normal, healthy infant on a weight loss regimen unless MEDICALLY INDICATED and supervised by the pediatrician. The sunlamp is a totally foolish idea. Adults who use tanning beds and such get wrinkles earlier, not to mention an increased risk of skin cancer. An infant's skin is FAR more delicate. No, I do not have "corn fed" children. I do, however, have a BSN degree and have been in the medical field for 21 years. One of the pediatricians I work with almost fainted when he saw the post and agrees with me that the mother put her child in the program for all the wrong reasons.

Why don't you soccer moms with the corn-fed kids get off her back? By pimp she means a good-looking kid, not what you think. Duh! Welcome to the 21st Century. Know what you are talking about before you write it. I'm lucky enough to live by the beach so we don't need to pay for the sunlamp, but I don't know how you can get any sun in Michigan.

And they were appalled at the damage you are potentially doing to your child. A six-pack is NOT normal musculature for an infant. No, I don't live in Wisconsin (California)and do live a healthy lifestyle. And I am very gainfully employed in the "overburdened health care system". "Pimp?" Oh, okay.... I am glad you got your money back, however.

I'm from Michigan, and my children are not obese. There is a huge difference between babyfat and an obese child. Babies need fat. I hope that you didn't let your baby's brain waste down from the weight loss program you put it on. I'm very sorry that your parents did it to you and I hope your child has higher aspirations for himself than you have for him, since you are hoping for him to be a pimp.

First off, much propers to The Ripoff Report and its rep. The people at FitInfant saw "fit" to make well and restitution came on a corporate level. There are still some problems at the gym level I suppose as far as customer service but they are growing I guess. Their service is worthwhile (though I am happier at the "Y") if you're interested, especially in these days of child obesity.

I am dismayed at the Mothers of the Year who responded to my post. I was trying to get some results on a Rip-Off and they completely ignored that. I guess they also choose to ignore the growing numbers of obese children in our society today. You're probably all from Wisconsin and feed your kids milk and cheese and bratwurst. My son will be a pimp and successful while your kids will be easy marks for McDonald's and Pizza Hut and a general burden on an already over-burdened health care system.

An 8-month infant is A BABY. Babies do exercise in their own way by pulling, stretching, reaching, etc. You want a 6-pack on an infant? You are putting an infant in a tanning bed? Have you totally lost your mind? You are BEGGING for orthopedic and neuromuscular problems, not to mention skin cancer, all because YOU want a miniature Mr. Olympia?!?!?!?!

If you are not joking, you should be reported to Child Protective Services.....

Your poor kid. It is unbelievable that you would place your 8 month old in a weight loss program! Let alone that you wanted him toned. And that this obsession runs in the family- you people have some big problems. God I hope this is a joke.
