BEWARE OF CANCELLATION POLICY!
Let me start by saying that the overall concept is great, but that's no excuse for poor service. If you are signing up for the one month remember to cancel immediately if you are moving from the area or are just generally not sure if its something you want to commit to in the.
The price up until today for one session being 45 dollars plus some was ok on occasion, but I would have been more inclined to do monthly or buy a package which I veered from because they didn't even give a discount on buying in multiples.
It's obvious that their previously overpriced packages didn't work and now they have moved from charging over 300 a month to just 99 for unlimited. Great.
I received an email yesterday with the promotion, (16th Nov) so for 99 dollars I signed up. I am moving to San Fransisco on the 19th of next month (December) so I knew I needed to cancel. So I went in today the 17th of November and asked to cancel, to which the women told me "I needed to cancel 30 days in advance", so I let her know I couldn't cancel online and that is why I was doing it 29 days in advance by default. So she told me "I am going to have to pay for an extra month", even though I'm moving.
Look I understand why they are doing the promotion because they have found a way to make people have to pay for two months over the holiday period which as a DTLA business owner I know residents just leave town in December so I'm sure its slow for them too. It's not about the money, it's about having good business ethics and listening to your customers. And although I'm leaving town I have many friends and customers in the area who I will now not be recommending. It really is not difficult to make the right decision and sometimes as a business you just have to own up to some of your procedures not making sense for everyone.
As a business owner, when a customer is unable to cancel online from the time she bought and tries to cancel within a hair of the deadline it really is a matter of good business practice to make allowances. I'm moving cities, I couldn't cancel with 30 days so I canceled on the 29th day. You are not only upsetting me as a customer but had your manager just made things easy you would have gotten 5 stars, and I would have recommended all my friend.
