WHAT A SCAM!!! DON’T GO!! PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU SIGN UP!! They take advantage of innocent people! They don’t let you cancel! Last year my father a 73 (a the time) yr old veteran, went to join the gym and paid upfront because he only wanted to join for 1 yr. He talked to the OWNER and they agreed it would only be for 18 MONTHS. My father is a trusting person so he didn’t realize to read the paperwork, but they agreed to the 18 MONTHS so my dad signed the paperwork thinking he was paying up front and not giving them a credit card so there would be no problem. HOWEVER! We then found out a few months in that my mother was dying of stage 4 cancer and my dad’s heart was bad and he couldn’t go anymore because the doctors told him to stop. My father talked again TO THE OWNER, and told the OWNER that his heart is bad and that he could no longer go can he have part of his money back and the owner said NO, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A DISABILITY CLAUSE TO TERMINATE THE CONTRACT, THE OWNER SAID NO! MY DAD didn’t know that at the time so again he begged for his money and told the guy about his heart and said his wife was dying and his heart is bad please do something, and the guy said no. My dad told me about this recently because NOW he’s getting BILLS and LATE FEES from them so I reached out after reading the contract and found out the guy snuck in the contract about a continuation after the year was up and how you have to cancel and how there is a disability clause! So I emailed him 2 WEEKS AGO AND NO REPLY!!!...

Given constant runarounds about membership price and fees. Gym is somewhat run down-- several letters on the sign don't even light up- has been this way for YEARS. Enjoy working out at CALIFO FI since thats what the sign says at night time!

Came to sign up for a membership in November. Was pressured to sign up because "prices would increase at new years time." Was not offered the monthly membership price shown on the website, or even the price PRINTED ON THE WINDOWS OF THE BUILDING; ultimately the owner instead ended up charging me the "new price" that he tried to convince me I was getting ahead of by signing up before the new year. Also you still get charged for the final month of membership despite paying first and last month of membership at the time of signup.

Then on top of everything else, cancelling membership is a chore. I went in to cancel and was told that I had to call the billing company myself or, send an email to the owner hoping that he handles it for me someday.

Then on top of everything else, they asked me for 5 star review on google the day i came in to cancel my...

Been here a couple time since I signed up almost three months ago. I like the fact that the facilities is clean, that's a big part to get people through the door . Next part I must say impressed me is that the busiest I have he gym ranging anywhere from 11am -11pm is that there Is no more than 10 other people in there so there is no wait for the machine that you want.plus I don't see much chit chat going on between the gym goers. One is able to just go in work out and leave no questions asked. Last but not least management. Ken ( the owner) has made me feel welcome when I first signed up by explaining to me all the different payment methods that are available. He wasn't too pushy (like some gyms can be) and was willing to let me have a trial workout first to see if the gym was a good fit (which it did). And he is also the boot camp instructor now I haven't personally tried those yet so I can't...
