I have been in this Gym (Palmers Green branch) for over 1 year. Then when I decided to have a break. I give them notice for 10 days that I am leaving. They unfairly charged me another 1 month despite I requested to be cancelled with 10 day’s notice. And I am on uncommitted membership that mean I can leave any time. Please stay away from this Gym, there is a lot of good gym and good service around that area. Many thanks

I least gym equipment to the Wembley gym. They and the head office are refusing to reply. I believe as the equipment is coming towards the end of the lease I hope I’ll go away. My company is fit4 purpose finance. Sadly the previous owner Jan died I’m sure he would never of put up with this situation. Any people supplying equipment to Energy should think twice.

And if you have not then in a way this is not good customer service so am hoping I am wrong and you have followed the lead of the other gyms who have Automatically put a freez on other members accounts please clarify my concerns because most of us have been financially effective by the corona situation and last thing anyone wants is to be charged for a service which is not available thank you

Joined here,then within a few days i decided to cancel my membership. Have called the gym several times ; emailed several times ; i physically visited the gym 3 separate times, to get them to cancel my membership. Each time i was assured that the manager/admin would be in touch. NOT ONCE HAS ANYBODY bothered to contact me to do this, despite they're having debited my bank account for membership fees. Bitterly regret having anything to do with this so called gym. They still have my money, and still NOBODY has lifted a finger to contact me. Diabolical management! DO NOT JOIN TYNEMOUTH ENERGIE!!!!!!

I wish I had read the reviews before I decided to join. Energie gym facility itself is NOT worth the monthly payment at all - it's a tiny gym and they're asking a lot for it! That aside, the staff (particularly the admim staff) are absolutely atrocious. The manager seems to be incredibly disorganized and not at all bothered with customer concerns or complaints. On many occasions they charged my account when they should not have and it was a goose chase trying to pin down the awful manager and get them to finally refund me. She never replies to emails or calls and on the off chance that she finally does, there is no form of apology or explanation for the delayed response. Incredibly rude and a shocking example of customer service. There is one particular staff member on the front desk who is equally rude and has the attitude of a bully, he's totally unhelpful and instead is prepared to fight with customers when they raise concerns (as happened in my case). I'm honestly angry I wasted a penny on this shambles of a gym. I don't understand how, as a business centered around customer service, they don't treat their paying customers with any respect - particularly when this gum is not cheap by any means! Don't waste your time on here and sign up somewhere else. I've been with both Total Fitness and David Lloyd in the past and the difference, especially in customer service, is eye watering.

I went on the off chance that i could have a look at the equipment before committing to a membership. The rude staff members refused to let me have a look. They were so rude and agressive. They said "i have to pay for that privilege" i felt really intimidated and just left. I called the owner to complain but she was even worse!!! started telling me to "get over it" really hostile person, i'd never join that dump!! Please be warned!!!!!

My wife joined the Gym as part of her recovery from a nervous breakdown. Upon realising it was not for her she was told she had to produce a doctors certificate in order to leave. When she did so she was still charged for a full years membership. Since then I have been trying ever since to get at least some of her money back. The stress caused by their uncaring attitude was counter productive for my wife, and I've lost track of how much time I've spent chasing them.

I was drawn to your review as many many people warned me not to join the gym for the same reason. The owner and staff are horrible!! It is not a nice place, depressing will bad atmosphere, unfriendly staff and very unproffessional!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!!

We finally got a refund of my wife's overpayments, but it took the threat of legal action to get.

I paid for 6 months membership(Rs 7200) and used for hardly 2 months due to medical emergency. I got operated due to which I cant continue. I contacted them for the refund and they denied then I asked for the transfer and they said, you will need to pay Rs 1500 to get it transferred. Seriously????? First I pay you for 6 months and to get my own membership transferred to my brother, I have to pay you again. That's ridiculous. I thought i would refer my friend to this gym but now I will not. Its not that you guys are helping us, its just that you are taking advantage of the situation we are in and to fill up your pockets.

Port Talbot Called to cancel and was given an email address to mail, Mailed them and no reply in 2 days so I sent another email and also copied in head office and they said they needed to contact Port Talbot to see if they received my cancellation, 2 days passed and I chased and copied in Port Talbot myself, another 2 days passed and I said I still had no reply to head office and they forwarded to another address asking if they received my cancellation, no response so I said I'll cancel the Direct Debit of no response by tomorrow. In a nutshell expect to be ignored, keep chasing, took me 8-9 days to get a response!!! Now I took this on with 30 days notice and now I'm being told a full payment will be taken beginning of the month which is over 6 weeks notice. Misleading selling tactics when taking out membership. About the gym and staff all I can say is I was left disapointed, When I joined there was a specific reason, we were shown around on a Sunday as it was quiet and shown each room, I stated we needed weight training for my partner as she has lost a lot of weight and she needed to put on weight/build muscle. We came in on our 1st day and it seemed busy and there was no induction to show us what to do so being quite quiet we stuck to cardio exercises and got bored pretty quickly and as my partner is quiet she didn't want to go walking into a weights room filled with men. Previous gyms I joined in the past trainers would interact with you while your training. A little dirty as there was never any cleaning materials. All I can say you get what you pay for, this was £20 a month with 30 days notice apparently. Safe to say I won't be back there in a hurry.

Would never recommend this gym to anyone. I was stupid and took out a year contract paying £50 a month without even having a look at the gym. 1. The gym its self is small, old fashioned and not a nice enviroment to be in. 2. The staff are no help atall. 3. there is no opt out period for contracts . 4. debt collectors get in contact if you decided to leave. 5. the manager does not leave you alone via LINKIN on emails(weird and annoying). I really would not recommend this gym. Being Robbed. much better equiptment and enviroment at pure where i pay 15 a month and can opt out whenever i want. COMPLETE SHAMBLES. I would give this half a star of i could

Don't waste your money. Male instructor - how is it a ladies only gym, plus he a pushy salesman. Research other ladies only gyms
written by on 19/12/2014
Disgusting place with vile management and no interest in the members who pay their wages. The franchise is owned by some smug man who also appears to be vile. This chain of gyms doesn't even deserve one star. Am happy to say leaving was the best decision I made and am now a member of a gym that is cleaned regularly, has modern equipment and respects its customers, all unlike energie.
Written on: 18/05/2015
Totally agree with you, Cannock Energie is also disgusting, sticky equipment. The instructor is male (ladies only gym) his personal hygiene is questionable puts me right off, I be glad when my membership expires soon.
I wonder if I can cancel my membership early as the club clearly stated ladies only gym but there is a male instructor there! Mis-selling can any expert advise me

Sadly this Wilmslow based gym has gone downhill....whilst it may be great if you want classes and to train - as a family gym it fails. Maybe the reception staff need to be aware or a little more training? As a new menber - taking two small children for a swim,we were signed in,went through,just got into the pool - to be chucked out again!!! Resulting in two very upset,crying and asking why, small children. Question is - why let the family with children in in the first place???? Surely the staff should have explained it was too early on a Sunday for children to enter the pool? As a new member you would rely on experienced staff to inform you of things like this.

My partner and I have had nonstop hassle with the Energie fitness team since May 2014. My partner has been constantly given incorrect information from a specific member of their team which has resulted in his contract being extended for a further 12 months without his knowledge. We have recently discovered we are expecting - as this is a life event, I would expect to treated with respect and allowed to cancel our memberships without any hassle. Unfortunately, this has not been the case. The gym 'manager' has all but called us liars and refused to help us any further. Gym memberships will be the next big mis-selling scandal...
Written on: 23/05/2015
Contracts do not extend but if we don't receive notice to cancel they will arty on until notice is given, like any contract. Sad for a comment to maintain its the companies fault that this member was continuing payments after the initial term. This is reasonable and the same for any contract and there are legal obligations to follow the process by the company and be as reasonable as possible for customer service. all records of all communications are on our systems showing very different to what this review states. Infortunately opinion is not truth

I wouldn't even give this gym 1 star. An absolute rip off and waste on money. Rubbish equipment, no showers... Id pay less at a health club and have a pool and lots of other facilities. Do not give them the time of day! I suppose I cannot be completely negative, there was 1 thing good about the gym - the day my membership ended!!

They are just after your money... No human spirit... These people are just worried about there account, a bunch of not very competent peoples.
written by SelinaKenny on 18/05/2014
I had a really poor experience at the enfield branch the staff are really pushy I guess it's because they need to make money from selling sessions. I couldn't do anywhere without being constantly pestered by the trainers. It may be £20 a month but the service was appalling and it is very small and dirty too back to virgin active for me ... To make matters worse it's not no contract and they charged me for another month unfortunately a pretty standard story from other horror stories I've heard about the place.

At beginning,they was told me only six month contract,and very flexible,if I don't go at that month,just cancelled in my bank account and only pay 10 euro ,but actually I can' t cancelled it from my bank account,even I finished my six months contract.I gave two weeks notice,at that time the reception didn't tell me need 4 weeks notice.SHe told me my contract finished the end of April.So I thought that was done,just filled the form. And when I checked my account today they still taking money.It was really annoy me,I went to talk to the reception,she wasn't nice at all.just tell me come back next week,she can't help me with anything,wan't her take my form.not her problem.it's part of contract,but I said no one told me when I signed the contract,she still said wasn't her. I mean it's really ridiculous,that it's part of their company service,and then just tell me was't herself proceed,then I need pay another month fee for nothing.i will never ever join this club again.anyone want to join this club,might need look through all the details carefully,I don't want you guys will be the same situation as me.

Terrible gym - run by a rude and unprofessional manager with an attitude problem who seems to have an issue with members. Gym itself is dirty and dated with old equipment which is often out of service. The pool has previously had sand and grit in the bottom of it and generally looks grubby. Air conditioning is poor to non existent in summer. Staff are generally friendly but the manager lets it down. Would not recommend joining at all, you can get cheaper and more professionally run gyms elsewhere.
