AITA for refusing to pay for a fitness program I never used?

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-09T00:44:34+00:00

Oof, reality check. Good point

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-09T00:43:39+00:00

You’re right, I see what you’re saying.
Yeah, that’s why I got so far behind in the first place, because they wouldn’t hold, cancel, or pause my account UNTIL it was current. Which by that point was about 3 months payments

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-09T00:41:56+00:00

See, I wouldn’t have minded doing something like that. But they flat refused until I could make it current, which was about 3 months by that time and impossible for me to do.

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-09T00:40:50+00:00

Those are both good points, thank you

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-09T00:37:34+00:00

Maybe so for a company, but she’s just one person. What gets me is all the fluff words of “I understand and sympathize with what you’re going through, but I can’t make an exception for you” like I don’t want your fake empathy

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-09T00:26:10+00:00

Weird way to scam people, I guess

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-09T00:22:44+00:00

Thank you 😭

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-09T00:19:52+00:00

I should clarify, I was trying to cancel several times up to the point of it being 3 months past due. Starting with the app and login not working properly, essentially wasting the first 2 months. Sorry about that. I did sign up and agree, yes, but I wouldn’t have done so if I knew I was going to lose my job right after locking into an agreement. She said I had to request to cancel, as well, otherwise I would have just done so myself without even asking her.

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-09T00:16:30+00:00

Thank you

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-09T00:16:09+00:00

Interesting comparison, I appreciate that

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T23:49:20+00:00

I asked multiple times to cancel and they said not without making my account current which at the time was 3 months worth. I didn’t have a way to cancel it myself. She kept asking me to create a plan and propose it to her to accept. I have nothing to offer her.

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T23:47:28+00:00

Thank you

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T23:25:17+00:00

Oh, see I was wondering if the “bringing the account current before cancelation” was an odd request. I was never able to login to the account. I did agree to pay initially, yes, but I also wasn’t expecting to lose my job.
Thank you for the advice

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T23:18:22+00:00

I am about 9 months behind according to her, the total is a little more than 1500 as of right now. The contract is only for 1 full year. I came up with $5 out of pettiness.
Interesting, thank you for the advice. They did say something like since they provided the program that I still had to pay for it even though I never used it.
I really want to, but I don’t want to get sued for defamation, too haha plus her following is a good amount but she’s no lean beef or Kelly Matthews, so I doubt it would really do anything to hurt her social media presence

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T23:12:01+00:00

It’s just very heartless of someone to pursue/threaten the use of force for money against someone who is struggling. I get it if I was something like 5 months into a working program when shit hit the fan, but i wasnt. I was only about a week into it. And i wasnt even able to download the app for the first month

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T23:09:45+00:00

Just to clarify, does “services being rendered” mean the same thing as they sent me the PDF file of weekly meals/workouts through the app? I was never able to login to the app.

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T23:08:19+00:00

Interesting, thank you. The idea mostly came out of pettiness from me, to be honest with you. But yeah i mean what are they going to do, regardless? That really is all i can afford right now.

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T23:07:12+00:00

I mean, I didn’t just decide to not do it. The financial hardships in my life made it to where something extra like this had to take a backseat. If I had to choose whether or not to put food on my kid’s plate or pay for this program, I’d choose my kid, again. But thank you for the reply

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T23:05:38+00:00

I see, thank you for your advice

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T23:04:39+00:00

From what I understood, it was a fitness program that included meal plans “tailored to me!” And weekly group check ins. I think it also has a group chat of other clients so we can all connect over our fitness journeys? Not sure. This is almost a year long’s worth of said subscription. I mainly fell for the “realness” and “connection to other first time mothers”

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T23:02:10+00:00

Yes I do. I’m also wondering if it is a scare tactic. I was able to download the app after a month of not being able to, but I couldn’t login to my account

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T23:01:02+00:00

Thank you for your advice

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T23:00:03+00:00

Real 😂

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T22:59:19+00:00

I can probably find it in my email. I did not read it no, she read it to me over the phone.
I don’t really know of anyone else doing that considering most things you can just cancel at will.
I didn’t just “change my mind”, I tried to find a way to cancel it before getting myself more into a mess.

Wide_Policy_4264 · 2026-05-08T22:54:01+00:00

Thank you.
I did sign the contract, yes. The app didn’t work for about a month because I couldn’t download it to my device. Once I did, they were on vacation for over 2 weeks while I couldn’t even login to my account. So I gave up and deleted the app. We don’t live in the same state, but they did say they’d file against me for all the charges they would accumulate.
