TS wouldn't have been in this nonsense, if he wasn't greedy for
the 1st *free trial* of 2 weeks access to the gym.
The minute TS went to the gym, it was like a welcome invitation to
corner him and do some hardselling straight up. They have realised
that such tactics work, thats why after so many years, they are
still giving out *free 2 weeks passes*.
I think in this case, its TS own weakness. Of course California
Fitness is guilty of Hard-selling, but given the way TS described
it, he would have fallen prey to any other Hard-selling companies
out there, due to his inability to enforce a *NO* response.
I was a victim of Hard-selling tactic by California fitness too, in
early 2007. It reached the stage whereby my Credit card was swiped,
and the slip was placed in front of my, just awaiting my
signature.
I refused to sign it, throwing up some excuse that I needed the
money and forced them to tear up the slips in front of me before
leaving the place. Obviously they had very black faces, but hey, I
saved a thousand bucks.
