unethical and unfair contracts by K B. at InsiderPages
We moved 25+ miles away from the gym while under contract. CA law states that health clubs should refund the membership fees in such a case. Since the clause was not covered under the FCAC contract they have to honor CA law for health clubs.

We have sent numerous certified emails, called 10-20 times, and paid personal visits an equal number of times. However FCAC keeps coming up with excuses. I would warn people to avoid this gym and never sign a contract with them.

Unethical, Unscrupelous, Unprofessional Business Practices
Sure, the staff appears friendly and the equipment is decent, but not that great. The main problem with FCAC is exactly what another reviewer discussed, which is the fact that their contract is unfair and their business practices deliberately sets up hurdles for you in the event something bad happens to you and you need to get out of the contract. Furthermore, the contracts they use do not adhere to california civil code; so be very aware that the contract the make you sign is tricky.

They smile and welcome you, but when it comes down to the business practice, they are unethical and unprofessional. They think they can just spell out their own terms in the businesses own advantage and screw over the buyer without adhering to california civil code. They have given me a very disheartening experience because bottome line = as a member for 2 years, I've been happy with the services offered, but they have an unethical contract and the managing staff is unprofessional and lack knowledge when it comes to talking about their contract terms and holds no value for customer service.

Whole New Environment
This gym is coming around. There is new management and friendly staff. The classes are terrific. Terry and Kathleen know how to make you work but the hour just flies by! After just 3 weeks of class I saw a real difference in my body.

The locker rooms are clean and bright and have all the necessities. There is never a wait for the cardio equipment and a trainer is always on hand to help with the machines. They even have a spa, steam room and sauna. The raquetball courts were recently redone and there are pick-up games in the basketball court most evenings.

The rates are quite reasonable.
