    OP, I dont know why you delight in other peoples misfortune.

    Mr. Tooke is a decent fella who has employed 300 people for nearly 8 years.
    JSF dont do anything other companies like Vodafone, 02 do. i.e debt collectors etc.
    Ya dont like them, dont join them - simple as.

    Wonder if she'll have to give three months paid notice. Then get charged for another years membership despite cancelling the direct debit.

    Ha ha!

    Typo from me - what I meant to say was that they, like other companies like vodafone etc use debt collectors to collect outstanding debt.

    As an employee of Jackie Skelly Fitness, we do care.
    No need to be happy at others misfortune, Energie fitness have now bought Jackie Skelly Fitness, nobody knows what lies ahead.

    There are talks between landlords and Energie regarding Greystones so there may be still some hope of this branch staying open.

    We do not screw any customers,a contract is a contract if people are unable to understand terms and conditions they should not sign the contract- very simple I think

    Don't like to be the bearer of bad tidings, but energie are the ryanair of gyms and have a business model which keeps overheads down by getting rid of most of the staff and allowing members to swipe themselves in and out of gyms using membership cards.

    Pretty piss poor


    P.S. if you are new to boards and work in a gym, I believe the tradition in AH is to post pics or GTFO;)

    Yes we are aware of this and it is for that exact reason that the staff are worried, all I said was that hopefully something good will come out of this for the members as they are the ones paying the money.

    What horrific business practices - getting people to honour the contract they signed?

    I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for people who are too thick to read contracts before they sign them.

    How are the members treated badly?

    I was a member of Jackie Skellys Clarendon Street on and off for about 8 years and never had a single problem.

    Could you define "treating members badly" for me?
