“Felt ripped off”

★★☆☆☆

written by Nomorediets on 14/08/2015

There's no doubt the diet works but I feel so conned when I joined rosemary Conley online I understood the offer of £9.99 as a debit card payment was a 1 off fee as debit card payments usually are I did not set up a direct debit so therefore thought that was it it was only 3 months later when I checked my bank statements I realised a £12.99 monthly fee had been taken. I have only known this before if a direct debit has been set up. I was so annoyed I rang up to query only to be told it's in the terms and conditions beware I think this is sneaky and must have caught out many others

“Lacklustre exercise, indifferent instructor ”

★★☆☆☆

written by Furrpurr on 15/04/2013

I joined the Bexley class last yea with a friend, having piled on many, many stones and desperately needing to lose weight. We had a quick run through of the information and were told to go and watch the video. All ok to start off with. The diet itself was initially really hard following a couple of years of undisciplined eating but it does really make you think about portion sizes. After I while I found I was enjoying it and began to lose weight slowly but surely. There were several problems with the class I attended. The exercise is very basic and extremely repetitive. The teacher followed the same routine for months on end with no variation. It was ok at the beginning when I was very unfit but pretty soon I needed something more challenging. I began to feel that it wasn't worth putting my trainers on for. The classes also started very late every single time as there was a lot of faffing about setting up the scales etc (surely something you do every week shouldn't take so long...?). If there was a motivational/informational talk I must have blinked and missed it. The real problem, i felt, was that really the instructor couldn't have cared less if we turned up each week or not. I felt as though I was just another £6.70 walking through the door each week. My friend and I both felt that the money could have been put to better use and we stopped going a couple of months ago. Unsurprisingly, nobody has contacted us to enquire if we would care to back or for feedback about why we left.

“Not Happy”

★☆☆☆☆

written by beachlover on 27/08/2012

It seems to me too at classes they are just interested in your money. I went to a class quite a few times, the leader was not helpful when I asked questions about why I had not lost any weight, she just mumbled keep with it, there was a queue and she wanted to hurry and get the next person weighed. The talk lasted about 2 minutes before getting on with the class. My friend goes to Weight Watchers and said their talk is really motivational and you are asked individually how your week was. I will not be going back

“Easy diet, poor customer service left me feeling exploited”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 27/05/2012

Having successfully lost 6 stone with this diet, yes the diet is easy to follow, but really success is due to an individuals motivation to lose weight and the support offered by the instructor. My instructors have been great however this hasn't been typical of others within the company. Higher up in Rosemary Conley they are not overly bothered how much you lose, you are just another number and they have got complacent in their role. My overall experience is that the company exploits individuals for their own success. I was invited for a makeover which having been so excited about turned into a dreadfully disappointing experience, I wasn't made to feel special the day lacked atmosphere and that magical feeling which left me actually feeling extremely upset having sat around most of the day with little interest shown from the Rosemary Conley team. I was left feeling just like another item on the conveyor belt. When I gave my feedback afterwards they really did not want to know and despite my insistence I still to this day believe customer service doesn't rate high on their agenda. Everything went from bad to worse even after I gave them the benefit of the doubt after Rosemary Conley herself contacted me to apologise but shockingly the poor customer service continued. For such a big company you would think they would make an effort to respond appropriately to negative feedback and improve their service provision. Certainly not a company I would recommend to others.

“The most weight I have ever lost and still losing!”

★★★★★

written by PippaM on 05/04/2012

I joined Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness club in January 2012 with 4 and a half stone to lose. It's now early April and I have already lost 2 stone and am still losing. This has to be the best and most successful diet I have ever been on. I don't feel deprived, I look and feel so much better and have had to throw away all my old clothes and buy new ones - as well as dig out stuff I had thought I would never get into again. The diet is sensible - no gimmicks, just good sense with loads of choice. The diet encourages you to think about fat and calorie content and re-educates your way of thinking about food in a transparent way. Eating out is a doddle thanks to the calorie and fat guide. The classes are friendly and helpful - just ask the leader if you are unsure of anything, even by email. I go to the ones run by Alex Duffy in Burgess Hill and surrounding areas - she is a wonderful role model as she is friendly, approachable, warm and human!! Like any diet, there is no magic fix, you have to want to do it, and the exercise classes really help with motivation. My husband has been eating what I have and has also lost a stone and a half. I would recommend this to anyone, even if you have tried before. There aren't many I haven't tried but this is the only one that has really worked.

There are many other diets to follw that work, the only problem most people have is motivation and consistency therefore its not about the ROSEMARY cONLEY PROGRAMME that works its the individuals method. To encourage others to be in place to spend their money is not right when you can do it for free y sticking to healthy free diet plans and daily exercises.

Written on: 30/06/2012

I agree, Madi. It is also about finding the one that is right for you. We are all individual and not everything is as easy for one person as the other. Maybe for some people, the right diet and being with others is a good investment. Weight is also about a number of psychological influences and reasons, not merely pulling your socks up :-) ,

“Untruthful Service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Madi on 05/11/2011

I have lost my money to a company that is getting away without a conscious, it's like daylight robbery in pure disguise, I feel coned and very upset. Rosemary Conley is as her namesake, a con star. I bought the facial flex and could not use it as it was uncomfortable and too big for my mouth. When I called for the return number, I was rudely informed, "How can you return something that you put in your mouth?" Well, why sell something without informing people that, it is ours for good, it is UNRETURNABLE..... REGARDLESS OF SIZE, PAIN OR LOW VALUE FOR MONEY, shame on this company, taking advantage of people's hard earned money, rip offs.then you say it is illegal to write falsely but what do you say to selling falsely?

“Disgusting service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 17/10/2011

My daughter and I joined for the 5 week offer @ £29.00 with free equipment (measuring cups and books etc). We got weighed, waited 5 or 10 minutes for the Zumba class to start (no dietary advice what-so-ever) was not very impressed with class, waited behind and were given our measuring cups and a copy of an old magazine each as she had no books etc. was very disappointed that we would not get off to a good start, however followed the diet as best I could in the circumstances and the 2nd week I had only lost a pound and was disgusted after a lot of effort and going without, there was still no dietary advice and still no books. To cut a long story short I asked every week for the books but we never received them so I asked where they were coming from Timbucktoo but I was just fobbed off with as soon as they come in you will have a copy. Well I don't think that it is good enough 5 weeks we attended no books, 3lbs weight loss in total and no dietary advice apart from 1 week she managed to say it is 14 weeks until Christmas if you lose a lb a week you will lose a stone for Christmas (any one can work that one out). We are both thoroughly disappointed and feel that we have wasted our time and money and I'm sure Trading Standards would like to hear about this as I feel this was false representation. Also she lacked enthusiasm and was not a very good role model. I have now joined Weightwatchers and got my books straight away and my daughter goes elsewhere for a much better Zumba class and a lot cheaper.

“I joined the Rosemary Conley Slimming Club in...”

★★★★★

written by tracy platt on 24/01/2011

I joined the Rosemary Conley Slimming Club in Salisbury, in September 2010. I went online to find my local classes,picked the one to suit me and then e mailed the lady who ran this class.The classes are friendly,easy to find,and the leader of my Monday
am class is Sam.I have been given
lots of help and support over the weeks,I have never missed a weigh in and find the diet suits me,low fat,portion controlled,easy to buy and cook and the all important exercise session and motivational chats are all excellent too. I have lost over 3 stone since joining the class,my daughter has joined her local class in Southampton,which is ran by Suzanne,the mother of Sam and has lost well over 2 stone too! there are no hidden expenses at these meetings,the diet is easy to follow and you dont have to buy certain food products,ie with Weightwatchers you buy alot of their foods,etc and it all adds up !! I would definately recommend these classes to a friend,and sing the praises of Rosemary Conley far and wide!!I am a much happier,slimmer,fitter and confident me since joining them,its helped me start doing a job that I love and I will be going to these classes even when I reach my goal weight, for the exercise part,to keep myself on the right path :))

★★★★★

written by on 22/01/2011

Unlike other slimming clubs I have belonged to (where, fair enough, I did lose a lot of weight), with Rosemary Conley classes you also get much more value for money with the fantastic exercise session included after the weigh-in. The instructors at the class I attend (Calmore, Hampshire), Suzanne Rawle and Sam Mouland Rawle are fantastic - enthusiastic - and expert at what they do and they cater for everyone by varying the routines from latin-dance based exercises (my personal fave)! to traditional aerobics, to fun circuits classes, all followed by a toning and stretching section at the end. All-in-all, I love my classes and am only about 10lbs away from my weight loss goal!!!

You don't just weigh in, you get a 40 minute aerobic workout included. My instructor is fab and encourages me when I have a bad week. I joined at the end of may and I have lost 3 stone by December! Its not a restrictive diet and I am never hungry!

“Was a member of Rosemary Conley club several years ago...”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 17/01/2011

Was a member of Rosemary Conley club several years ago and got on well....however, I recently joined a local club and am so far very disappointed. It took me 3 phone calls to the instructor before she bothered to call me back about joining. Then, the 1st night I was weighed...nothing was discussed...she just wrote my 'goal' on the card which was 1 stone to start with. Then a very very long wait while the huge numbers of others were weighed in. Then a pretty mundane, repetative aerobics class which was so packed, you kept bashing into the others. Seems like the goal is to get as many people in there and paying the weekly fee - with no time for anything else ! Then a huge rush to get the next class in. No 'motivational talk'..just a shout at the end'all new ones wait here' then poined out the obvious..." These are the 'portion cups' read about them in your book...this is the special tape measure ...read about how to use it - it can be quite confusing !....flick through the book and follow the diet " -- that was it ...quite frankly disgusted , but have now paid the 5 weeks up front so am stuck with it for a while . Not Happy :o(

Hi again, I wrote the 'bad' review.on 17th Jan.I have Just been to the weekly class ( week 4 )Nothing seems to have changed. I stuck rigidly to the plan last week, and lost no weight at all. This week, no cheats again and have increased my daily exercise to 1 hour brisk walking/ running as I now do a dog walking job....lost half a pound ! So disappointed. The woman just wrote on the card, and wanted to carry on getting the next person weighed. I said to her that I was very dis-heartened again..she just said " well, have you done ANY exercise "..I said yes, that I walk a dog for a good hour every day, along a beach, in wellies, making the walk pretty tough in the sand !! she just said " well, like I told you last week, you feel better, so thats better than nothing, not everyone loses a lot every week, thats not how it works"..I agreed that its good to feel better, but that I was there to lose weight primarily....she gave me a terse " well its not all about numbers you know ...fine, shall I just tear up your card and not bother to weigh you then " !! she actually snatched the card out of my hand and pretended to tear it !! I said to her " so how come all your advertising says if you stick to the plan, you can lose a stone in a month"...I got no reply to that ! I was quite frankly disgusted by her attitude..The whole idea seems to just be get as many people in as you can squeeze into a school hall, get the money, and offer little or no encouragement.
<br/>I understood also ( through reading the bumph myself ) that after the initial 2 weeks on 1200 cals, that we can go up to 1400 cals ?? She hasnt even mentioned that to me. There has been no discussion, no ' well lets perhaps go over what your eating and see if somethings going wrong ' Nothing..In fact, there in no motivation or encouragement at all. I dont expect long drawn out personal chats every week, but there is absolutely no time to discuss any problems we may be experiencing. While our exercise is finishing, the next class are coming in to start theirs...its all rush rush rush. My friend that joined at the same time feels the same as me. The teacher is just not helpful or motivating in the slightest. We have both decided that next week will no doubt be our last, as we have already paid 5 weeks in advance, we may aswell use it up ! We have friends who have joined Slimming World at the same time as us...they have all lost double the weight that we have. Based on this experience, I would not recommend Rosemary Conleys Diet club to anyone. I have seen that a comment was posted asking me to ring their head office...I will be doing that tomorrow.

OMG that's terrible!!! When you watch the videos on RC tv about joining a class, you get told ALL the instructors are very carefully selected as being caring people, well clearly this isn't the case with your one is it!! Disgusting attitude. It would be interesting to know the outcome of your complaint and if anything was done.

Hi Souxi, that was about 18 months ago - and I didn't go back. Just stuck to my own 'diet' and did OK. I did make a proper complaint - and got a full refund - so can't complain about Head Office. But the woman running the class really was horrible. I know some other people have since tried that particular class and commented to me about her bad attitude. ! Not like the promo video's on the site at all ! Anyway - do it on my own at home now and seeing results.

It is a real shame that your experience of the Rosemary Conley Diet & Fitness Clubs was not satisfactory. Unfortunately, this time of year the classes do become quite hectic, and I am sure that if you approach your instructor with your concerns she will do her best to reconcile the matter. Why not give her a call or send an email. Perhaps you will gain a different view of the class next time. I do hope your first week on the plan has been successful x

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 12/09/2010

I can honesly say that I have never felt so hungry in my life and the hunger pangs from following a 1200 calorie diet for 2 weeks were unbearable!
I only lost 2lb in my first week and was made to feel so bad that it hadn't been more and then got moaned at for having an apple as a snack because I was starving, as it wasn't in the programme! The diet is explained to you in a rushed 5 mins at the end of the aerobics class, and as for the aerobics, well the instructor wasn't making sure that we were doing the manouveres correctly.
I found the instructors rude, no motivation and just critisism if you didn't lose enough and I personally feel that the diet is far too restrictive. Back to slimming world for me.

Most people (females) find the number of calories absolutely fine and there is nothing wrong about including an extra piece of fruit if you are really feeling fammished! The main things to remember are 3 regular meals a day, 2 power snacks (which can be fruit if you wish), plenty of filling vegetables and cereals, and drink plenty of water. The change to eating healthy, portion-controlled, low fat foods can be quite a shock to the system for some people who have not been watching their diet for some time.

★★★★☆

written by Julie Evans on 27/08/2010

I have been going to my local class for nearly 3 years and have been successful in losing four and a half stone, but am really struggling to lose the last half a stone to reach my goal weight. I have found that although my instructor is lovely on numerous occasions she promised to speak to people at head office about what could be the reason that although still doing loads of exercise and eating correctly I cannot lose the last half stone, as yet nearly 6 months later she still hasnt got back to me. Feel a little bit let down

The best thing to do would be to let your instructor know how you feel as I am sure she is unaware that she is making you feel like this. The Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness classes are second to none with a formula that really works - healthy low fat diet & exercise! Good luck x

★★★★★

written by penny1234567 on 17/11/2009

I have spent nearly all my life on a diet, and tried them all! I think the Rosemary Conley approach is, quite frankly, the most sensible plan to follow. The reason the majority of people are over weight is because, like me, they eat and drink too much and do not do enough exercise! The diet is a straight forward, no gimmicks, no black and pink day today, no number of merits to count this day and normal food is what is advised. When it comes to value for money, no other club I have ever joined has offered, in the price, exercise!! One of the major factors in losing and maintaining weight loss. So well doen to Rosmary Conley. Come on people wake up and smell the coffee.

★★★★★

written by on 08/10/2009

I've been attending a Rosemary Conley class for the last 11 weeks and have lost 2 stone. My leader is great and a true inspiration after losing 10stone herself and being Slimmer of the year 2009. The other members are so friendly and I find it a joy to excercise with them. I have tried so many times and joined very many weight loss clubs before, having a weight problem all of my life. The true fact of the matter is that I was eating too much and not doing any excercise. I have settled in well, found new friends and for the first time can visualise myself seeing this very large task through to the end!

Rosemary Rocks!
