Just Fitness 4 U

I’m not sure if the girl you have working today answering no the phone is special needs or what but when I call & I say: Hi my name is_​_​_​_​_​_​& I bought a week membership the last time I was in town visiting but never used it at all so I’m so I’m wondering if I can use it on this visit to town? The girl doesn’t seem to understand what I am saying to her so I have to repeat the entire thing & then she is «ohhhh uhmmmm I don’t know… let me check» puts me on hold & never gets back on the phone, so I finally hang up & call back, same one answers the phone, I say the same thing again & then she magically looks in the computer right then & proceeds to tell me this long drawn out story about how according to her rules and what she is supposed to tell me that it says to her that when I bought the week membership it started that day & that it is now expired and there is nothing she can do about but how if I talked to her manager Stephanie she could probably do something about & she continues on and on and on to the point that I have to cut her off mid sentence and say: «Ok can I talk to Stephanie then?» & she responds by telling me another long drawn out story about how Stephanie isn’t here today & Sunday is her day off and that she would be in on Monday so I should probably call back then & she is STILL TALKING when I have to cut her off again & say: Thanks, you have given me all the information I need to know.
Pro Tip: Less is more. It’s not necessary for you to waste my day with all sorts of extraneous information that I don’t need! Get to the point & never make someone repeat themselves or leave them on hold. This girl is about the most unsure useless employee ever. I’m sure she’s really nice though.

This should be no surprise but this place is awful to cancel, but I guess that’s what you get with a $ 10/​month membership. We joined with the gym was newly renovated so things aren’t as great and new as they were, but still a good price. My main problem is the class times here are horrible. Other than that, it’s fine, nothin special.

You pay for what you get for! I’m absolutely disappointed in this place. One of several bad experience that I had here consisted in buying personal training sessions and not getting all the sessions that I have purchased and couldn’t get my money back. When the contract/​receipts stated that they never expired. Since its not a franchise they do not have a corporate number so they had me going in circles for about three months.
This is my first post on Unilocal and I made the time to make sure other people like my self don’t get ripped off like I did.

Jenn is the best trainer in the world. I would train with her anywhere she went; wish I could take her with me.

They literally can’t even fix the machines that are broken. One of my favorite things is that you can zone out while you do cardio and watch the HD screens that are attached to the ellipticals and the bikes. 80% of them have been broken for two years and they’ve only gotten worse with the stupid idea to add remote controls that barely work. I know you don’t go to the gym to watch TV but if it’s what I’m paying for and something I was promised I expect the things to work. Don’t get me started on how filthy the bathrooms are… there’s a reason this gym is cheap. I guess they adhere to the idea of you get what you pay for.

BUYER BEWARE! I paid an early cancellation fee of $ 75 bucks in August of 2011. A year later it shows up on my credit report for over 500 bucks. I’ve called the collection agency 1^st credit services and it’s a call center in India (800) 580‑3912. Faxed to 732−726−6490 every day for 2 weeks. This has been an ongoing nightmare. They don’t have my original records. DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM. At this point, because no one wants to take responsibility, I’ve contacted an attorney. She advised that we might have a class action. If you have a similar experience you are welcome to post a comment below. We are going back through all credit cards and loans and are going to request damages for the elevated APR. This is a shady shady business selling good accounts along with the bad, en masse, to make a buck of you. Good thing I keep my bank statements. AVOID. THERE IS NO CORPORATE OFFICE. Thus, no one to be responsible but the gym you go to. UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR INFORMATION SOLD TO INDIA SO THEY CAN MAKE A FAST BUCK, GO TO THE Y OR TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE.

I guess would b a great gym if half the machines actually worked and the staff would stop turning the music up so loud you can’t even hear your own music…

This place has a similar feel to its neighbor Gold’s gym. However, unlike Gold’s, this place is more «Average Joes» than meathead. They are going through a renovation, which is a good thing. For example, they have carpet on a lot of the gym floor (they do have rubber over where the barbells are). Carpet in a gym just feels… wrong. Feels like I’m working out in a hotel «fitness center» where it’s just a hotel room with equipment instead of beds. This place isn’t amazing, but it isn’t too bad either. If Golds down the street intimidates you I would definitely check this place out for a more laid back vibe.
Layout
This place is a bit dark despite the new white paint on the walls. They have three terraces of cardio equipment that looks out over the weight machines. They have plenty of weight machines, but when the guy showed me the six squat racks I had to stifle a laugh because two of them were smith machines and another two were leg press machines. But they did have two legit squat racks, which is one more than most. I came in on a Saturday and both were being used, causing me to wait 10 minutes until one freed up. …Ten minutes in a gym feels like an eternity, by the way.
They don’t have bumper plates, but with the rubber matting no one complained when I did deadlifts. I should point out, though, that I DIDN’T DROP THE WEIGHT TO LET IT BOUNCE UP AND DOWN. This is a pet peeve of mine because I see a lot of dudes do this when they are perfectly capable of placing the weight down, they just want to show off. These are the same guys wearing cut-​off sleeves.
Everything seemed up to date and in order. Again this place is very average in impression, not a whole lot to write about.
Locker rooms
Locker Rooms leave a lot to be desired. Locker rooms have yet to be renovated, and they definitely need the work. There were a lot of broken locker doors and the only place to sit is these two leather chairs that sit way too low to the ground. Very strange. They do have some televisions though, and that was a nice feature. But like I said, all of this is going to change in a couple of months.

Since I joined Just Fitness almost 2 years ago I have got to observe how the health
club is run. I workout for about 45 minutes a day, 6 – 7 days a week. I have belonged
to several other health clubs in the general area for many years. Here’s my impressions about Just Fitness: Well-​maintained, very clean, most treadmills, exer–
bikes, elliptical trainers have mounted tv’s and book shelves, lots of exercise machines, large free weight area, child care area for busy Moms, freshly painted (in
Feb.’15), yoga classes, and personal trainers (if desired, at extra cost). Very bright
spacious open-​concept workout area with very high ceilings. Much larger on the
inside than you’d imagine from the exterior. Nobody is perfect, but Just Fitness near
White Rock Lake (in Casa Linda shopping center) is exceptional, particularly in a
category of business that is often under-​maintained (unclean facilities, broken equipment). I’d join again in an instant without any concerns…

This place is awful! Even after you notify them to cancel your membership, they still debit you account! For months! Thieves! Stay away!

Wow… after reading these reviews, I think I will stay at my current gym. Just Fitness — you need to change your Perception to your patrons. I pay 30, however, I don’t experience any of this stuff based on the reviews. I guess I will pay the extra money for piece of mind.
I was considering Jus Fitness, however, No More… thanks for all the reviews… makes my decision MUCH easier.

Great experience signing up with them today. The customer service I received from Jude was impeccable. Glad I made the switch from Gold’s Gym.

Been a member since it opened. Good machines but crowded space. Fitness trainers sit at the front desk, do little else yet somehow do it well. Without doubt this is the best gym to witness work out related injuries which can make for additional entertainment. On the positive side, the luke warm drinking fountains seem to be heated during the summer and makes for a good cup of tea. You’ll need it as you wait behind the folks who sit on the equipment for 20 minutes at a time playing on their cell phones. Would give 5 Stars but that may be too many for management to count.

Today is April 14, 2014 and the website for this place has a last update of July 2013.
I joined here some time ago and as with some people with gym memberships do not go frequently. Today, i called to see about the classes offered and was told I had to go on Facebook, which I did but the most current information is from March 2014. When i spoke with the manager stating this was out dated, i got nothing but attitude. My contract expires in two months and cant wait to get out of the contract from this dump. There are much nicer facilities with better amenities to chose from. Skip this place.

The only thing this place is good for is a replacement for home equipment. The staff are basically there for admitting you into the place, and making you a member. Anything more and your screwed.
I moved out of Dallas and had to cancel, got the run around until today when I just flat out went business. Ended up contacting ABC Financial and found they needed a written letter which can be done now by email to
with the account number, 30 days before your cancelled.
I did that today, hoping they are good to their word on that, or if it’s not another thing to jump through. I don’t remember the address I started the account on which made it hard, as well.

I joined this place about a month after my husband who pays $ 10 a month. I was told they stopped doing the $ 10 deal and had no such thing as a family add on. They are less than two miles from my home so I sucked it up and paid the $ 30. The gym itself is fine, clean enough, never had a machine shortage but we also go at 5am right when the doors open so not a huge crowd. The treadmills are on a platform and most of them shake, so if you don’t find a good one that sucks. But they do have tv’s on all the cardio machines. The class times are terrible so I haven’t attended any and cannot review the instructors.
Cut to three months later, they are running a deal for $ 10 month family add on. We were interested in canceling mine and adding to my husbands: First two employees we talked to couldn’t help us, third was a royal jerk about their policy. I think he though he was just being frank? That’s fine if you cannot go against your policy but don’t be a jerk about it. Anyway, I’m stuck paying $ 20 more a month than I’m sure half the members. I can’t help but think of how much more I was getting at 24hr fitness for the same cost (better class times, more dfw locations).
If there is another gym close to you, I would give them a chance before this place, it’s no better than anything else I’ve been to. One day I’ll manage to wake up ten minutes earlier and when that day comes, back to 24hr fitness I’ll go.

Wish I didn’t have to give this place a star.
Stay away! Long story short. I cancelled my membership, then 7 months later they charged me $ 70.00 dollars. When I called to ask why I was referred to corporate who referred me back to them. That went on 4 times. Finally, they advised me that I never cancelled my membership and I was being back charged. I faxed corporate my cancelation paperwork (multiple times) and still no refund. Did I mention while this was happening they took out two more payments! I had to call my bank and report fraud. Buyer beware gym looks nice but even when your ready to leave they won’t let you.

My wife and I left Gold’s Gym in January of this year and joined Just Fitness. The majority of the staff are very friendly with the exception of one individual, who I have been told is the manager; she is short and dark headed, just in case I am mistaken. We originally spoke to another sales associate and then left to cancel our memberships with Gold’s before returning to sign up with Just Fitness. She seemed annoyed that we provided her with the name of the sales associate that had originally signed us up and was extremely rude. When we provided the name of the member that referred us, she ignored us, even though we repeated that she had referred us several times. This should have alerted me immediately that she, or the business as a whole, engage in shady business practices. Especially, since they advertise incentives for referrals!
This week I was working out on the leg press machine. Two 45lb weights were left on the machine, so I added my weight, completed my workout, and re-​racked all of the weights except for the two 45lb weights. I left the machine and went to the other side of the gym. The manager sought me out, and then interrupted my set to ask me if I was finished with the leg press machine. I told her I was and she proceeded to lecture me about re-​racking my weights.
Ok…I am all about doing my part at the gym and being courteous others, but that is ridiculous. First off, I left that machine exactly as I found it. Am I required to re-​rack everyone else’s weights, or just my own? Second, I feel like it is a common courtesy to leave two 45lb weights on the press machines anyway. This is something I have learned from other gym members. Third, re-​racking weights, while expected, is a request, not a condition of my membership. Therefore, do not lecture me like a child for failing to do so. The fact that the manager would lecture a paying customer is the epitome of poor customer service.
This gym is cheap, and I suppose that is the only reason that they can get away with being rude to customers. If they could accomplish this small, trainable task, then they would have an incredible business model. I love the simplicity of the gym. They have everything you need and nothing you don’t. That is what originally attracted us to the place. Overall, the gym is clean and they have a lot of machines. Normally, I do not have to wait for anything, except occasionally during peak hours. The locker room is usually clean. Although, the smell goes slightly beyond B.O. and comes closer to mildew and mold. I can get past that though, since I spend about 3 minutes in there a day, and I never shower there.
If it weren’t for the poor customer service, I would give this place 4 stars. It is a great gym for the value, and I would still recommend it, with the customer service caveat. Hopefully, they will make some much needed staffing changes, or provide better CS training for their employees.

I’ve been a member of this gym for about two months drawn by the low price no frills approach. So far so good. The place is never crowded when I go (weekday mornings) and I never have any trouble getting the equipment I need. A big plus for me is that all the machines have TV screens and cable although it does take some doing to get the AV the way you want it. Another minor problem is that the machines (treadmills, recumbent bikes, etc.) tend to move around which can mess up reception sometimes. However the staff has been helpful in rectifying the problem.
I agree with another reviewer that the lack of towels is a bummer. But it does keep costs down. And at $ 10 per month are you kidding?
Besides, it’s three doors down from Torchy’s. Workout followed by tacos and beer. Life is good.

This became my new gym as of last month. I dig the proximity to my home, and I can stop in on my way back from work. So far, it has been an enjoyable experience. It’s not packed, it’s clean, and the equipment is not outdated. I get tired of gyms charging for the crap I don’t use, so it’s important to me that it be a no-​frills place.
The one thing I was deeply disappointed in was the so-​called fitness assessment. They give you one when you sign up to be a member. What I got was anything but. I showed up for my appointment with the person I thought was going to go through and measure my endurance, cardio, body fat, weight, ect, and tell me where I stood. At least, that’s an assessment last time I checked. Instead, he passed me off to another trainer who put me through a grueling lower body workout and pushed me HARD. While I can understand the idea of challenging yourself, it didn’t seem like he was really assessing me at all. When the workout was said and done, he handed me back to the guy I was supposed to train with, who just asked me if I had any questions. No talk about my workout, no weighing me, no checking my body fat, nothing. Even the answers to the questions I asked him seemed rushed and convoluted.
I knew I had been pushed too hard in my workout, because for the following FOUR days, my hamstrings and thighs were in an intense amount of pain. I could not walk up or down stairs, and I had trouble sitting down and getting back up, so much so, that I had to use the handicapped stall in the bathroom just so I wouldn’t fall. I was NOT happy about it. So, learn a lesson from me: AVOID the evaluation, and work at your own pace. The place is great for that, and only that.
