Unreliable Business Practices and Unpaid Trainers
Refund Issues and Misleading Communication
Reviews highlight issues with refunds, with one reviewer stating that they were promised a refund of $800 for sessions that were never conducted, but the owner only contacted them after a negative review was posted. Another reviewer had to confront the owner to receive a refund of $325.
Unpaid Trainers and Bad Checks
Trainers have not been paid for months, despite the owner's claims of cash flow issues. Bad checks, including post-dated checks, were given to trainers, and excuses were made to avoid payment. This is considered a felony in Virginia.
Deception and Lack of Transparency
The owner has been accused of lying and deceiving clients and trainers. She has made false promises, including sending videos that were never sent, and has not been transparent about her business practices.
Questionable Certifications and Licensing
The owner's certification with the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) has been questioned, as NASM has no record of her current certification. Additionally, it is recommended that her business license be verified at City Hall.
