GBIdeaFit scams instructors and has… IdeaFit scams instructors and has horrible customer service. In 2021 my boss at my gym asked me to register for the online virtual(and useless) convention. What I didn't realize at the time was that it was an Auto-renewal. Shame on me I know but that is how they get their money.Flash forward to this year and I received an email confirming my $199 "order". Not only wouldn't the customer service person refund me or let me speak to their supervisor as it is against their policy. She also wouldn't remove me from the auto-renewal subscription. I had to do it myself.

GBWorth joining From the magazine subscription to keeping updated on fitness trends, they do a fantastic job. I do question the supposed clients that are sent immediately your way as soon as you join, as they are wait outside my service area and seem to never reply. Sorry, but it does not seem genuine and that someone is manipulating new members into believing these are valid contacts.

CADo Not Trust These People with Your Credit Card Their membership fee went from $60-something dollars to $290 CDN. I was not aware of this change. They said they had notified me through e-mail 2x (oh yeah, as if that's reliable . . . ). When I appealed to them twice, they would not give me back my money. They can keep the money, but they have lost a customer, and even though they charged me, I will not be using any of their forced membership benefits. I don't care for their magazine anymore either.

GBI have been an IDEA member for over 30 … I have been an IDEA member for over 30 years, and I lost $784 to this "non-profit" organization as I did not use my open credit within the IDEA defined timeframe. To avoid future surprised IDEA clients/members, I’d suggest that in the future, IDEA make it very clear as to the timeline one has to spend any open credit and that if said credit is not used, the money is forfeited to IDEA (with no acknowledgment for one's income taxes). As a result, I have cancelled my group fitness, personal trainer, and business memberships, as I do not run my own business in this manner.
