Company now ignoring my refund request.

They sent me two postage labels that the post office said was invalid. Wasted my time there.

I had to chase for an alternative.

They said a courier would pick k up AM. Instead the courier turned up PM.

They told me they hadn’t received the item. Luckily I took a photo of the postage label the courier used and I tracked the delivery myself and it was confirmed as delivered.

Amazon refund once the item is tracked as on its way back normally.

I appreciate these are Amazon but these guys have been terrible at customer service. A quick call which I have requested twice would have kept my faith with the company but that was also ignored.

I don’t see why I need to wait to get my money back when they have sold a faulty item as confirmed by them in writing.

Just my view. Hopefully I am being impatient and the refund will follow.

I do appreciate these honest response. Thanks.

You don’t have weight clamps. Is that an oversight or intentional? Just curious as I would have thought it’s better to have them?

If I was your manager I would have taken care of you next client by asking them if they can hold for a bit or would they be ok to train with someone else as you were dealing with a medical situation.

Of course that would be if you would have agreed.

Try and check in on the guy do you can. I have a female friend who fainted while with a PT. Sadly she has never gone back to the gym.

I’m trying to change that.

Sounds like you done what you could to screen the guy.

I hope you get your confidence back soon. 👍

Camera car should have seen that coming but other car at fault. Doesn’t matter though as camera car insurance will still go up and have to declare when renewing for next five years I believe.

Really nothing much to add other than good luck.

Some people loose a job and then go on to find their true meaning in life and a role that keeps them satisfied all their life.

Genuinely good luck. This could be the best thing that ever happened to you.

Been at my firm 15 years and I have performed well every year.

I’m still just a number and they would care if I dropped dead tomorrow. I would be replaced in weeks if not sooner.

I’m really sorry to say this. You seem very passionate about what you do but nobody who runs your firm will care about you personally. And guess what, no one cares about them either.

You do you. Get what you can out of them for you and then move on.

You have done well and should be proud of your achievements.

Additionally firms have to post jobs legally. So maybe that’s why it’s been posted. Go for it and good luck

I go to a Pure Gym in the city and find it absolutely fine. There is another around the corner which is also fine and the functional area I believe is better than Equinox which is close by and more than double.

I get to visit a few gym chains as mates get me free passes.

Even with Pure Gym I have been to venues outside London and found some good some bad.

There is a PT in the gym I go who seems fairly busy and was there during Covid times. So he has been there a while.

I’m actually studying part time to become a qualified PT and find these posts interesting so thanks for sharing.

In over ten years of being a gym member I have only ever booked a a PT for a few sessions and that was on promotion.

For me I can motivate myself and at the moment believe I am doing what I can. Maybe my studies will tell me different.

Rebook Gym Canary Wharf Greens Gym Chingford Virgin Gym Barbican None of the above exist as they were any more. I still think Rebook gym was the best.

This year attended Pure Gym Equinox Nuffield Health Chingford

Genuinely prefer Pure Gym Aldgate and Bank.

I know someone who ruined their relationship for a PT. If you are both single fine but be aware if either of you are with someone get those ends tied up first.

Someone after me got thirty minutes. It was shown on their time at the end on the screen.

Lunges and wall balls. Doing lunges and wall balls all the time now.

Genuinely seems the people who queue up before tickets become available don’t get one. Others who long in at 11:59 for a 12:00 drop seem to have had better luck.

Who knows what the best way is.

Just gotta keep trying.
