Another gym story.

[Queefer]

A fella came in yesterday evening and wanted to cancel his membership. I asked him if he was on month to month or if his membership had any payments left. After informing me that his 2 years had expired, I looked it up on the computer to make sure. Of course, he still had almost a year of payments left so I told him he would need to provide me with proof of move before I could cancel his membership. At this time his attitude turned south and he let me know he was leaving for West Virginia tonight and I WOULD cancel the memb. right now and give him a cancelation form. Again, I let him know nicely that I was not able to terminate a membership without proper proof. Now his already crappy attitude got even worse and he started pointing at me and said, "You WILL cancel my membership right now, SIR. I'm leaving tonight and you WILL take care of this for me because the contract says nothing about giving you any proof." Just so you guys can get an idea of what this guy looked like, he was about 6'2 and had the build of CONAN obrian. About this time, I was losing my patience and told Mr. Obrian that he could send me a piece of mail that was mailed to his new address and this would be sufficient. "That's not going to happen because you will cancel it for me now, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!" he said. I knew it was time to veto the conversation so I told him I was done arguing and he needed to leave, and then I turned my back to him and walked toward the back office. When I was 10 steps away from the guy he started yelling at me about how I suck and I'm a shitty business owner and blah blah blah. Yep, I kindof semi snapped and walked real fast to the front at the same time he was walking out the door. In the doorway I asked him what his fucking problem was and he lunged toward me with his right hand cocked back and his head doing some kind of jiggy shaking thing. I said, and I quote "I'm about to beat the shit out of you". At this time Conan did what most mouthy frat boy types do, he took his cell phone off his belt and called 911. I looked at the hero, laughed, and went back inside. A policeman came 30min later and then left without even coming inside. I would think that after hearing that bozo say I verbally assaulted him, the cop just laughed at him too.

lol. thats funny stuff. don't ya love it when people know how to "run your business" for ya? i personally love contracts, I used to get the "You will do this NOW" and i'd say "Did you read the contract?" "I don't have to, I KNOW the Law" yet they're the dumbest fucks you'll ever meet.

people sure are funny.

I don't understand why the guy wouldn't just stop payment at the bank? Then he wouldn't have to worry about it! Anyway you had 30 min to beat the doucebag down, I know its not good for biz but sometime you got to make exceptions. See when he said he was going to beat your ass that right there is assult so if you hit him (which would be assult). You would have both been charged with assult. Usually the other guy drops the charges if you do and somebody gets a free assbeating!!! I think you should keep this in mind if he ever comes bacK and threatens to beat the shit out of you again of course he'll have to be still consious to drop the charges !

most of the time the gym has the right to the required payments. you can not (or i should say the bank is not) supposed to cancel the obligation unless the gym says it is okay. can ya tell i own a gym.

He could stop payment at his bank account but then it gets reported on his credit report and the collection agency starts in.

I see we have a number of gym owners and former owners.
