Unfortunately, it has been a constant in the US that gyms are shady businesses to begin with. NYSC senses it will probably not survive unless they try to squeeze every single penny they can from clients, even if it is not entirely legal. I have requested cancellation of my membership several times now. I have called and emailed several times with no avail. My membership was "frozen" during the COVID19 continegency but they began charging after gyms reopening in NYC, despite my "home" facility in East harlem and the upper east side remaining closed.
Even if they were open, I do not feel safe going back given there are a lot of reports from gym goers that safety measures are not being enforced. Facilities still remain dirty and uncared for.
Overall, it has been a harrowing experience trying to deal with this company and I will not rest until their practices are known far and wide.
