My husband and I are retired. We decided that it might be a good idea to look into joining a gym. We went over to Riviera and talked to a young lady named Jessica I believe. We were interested in the $20.00 a month due to money and expenses, after talking to Jessica she said that with the $20.00 per month each we would get no help at all even if we were doing the exercised wrong. Well we decided that we didn't want to get hurt so we went with the more expensive package which was $200.00 up front and then 3 payment of $160.34, which would be drawn out of our checking account automatically. After two weeks we found out that our elderly parents would need our help back in Maine. we spent summer before last also doing just that. Also added to that my tendonitice in my wrist started inflamming again.

We found out about 3 weeks ago that we would be needed back in Maine to care for our elderly parents for the duration they are with us. (I will never put my parents into a nursing home). We also had asked at the Riviera Center if something like this should happen what do we do and she said to contact them and our moneys would be refunded. Pro-active. Well my husband called two days ago and they really gave him a very hard time. We have to give them a pay stub (which as he explained we are retired) or a electrical bill in our names. We will be staying with the parents to care for them and I dont think that with a parent with Alzheimer they would even start to go along with that. They will not take a canceled check from Maine.

Bottom line they have and will continue taking out money until they get their $681.00. Please if anyone is thinking about joining a gym please pay for one month to see if it will work for you and your health. Also dont let them take the money directly out of your checking account. I would hate to see someone else get taken as we have.

Sincerely,

Elaine Levenseller
