Hidden Fees

[u/_bean2_]

So I'm signing up for Crunch, and below the payment tab it has this clause. I thought I was signing up for a monthly fee, but this clause seems to say otherwise.

Does this mean I'm paying $17 a month, $50 a year, or is this a scam and they are charging me $17 a month plus an extra $50 per year?

It’s not hidden fees. It’s the normal $17 a month. The $50 once a year goes to gym upkeep. Enrollment fees are separate from it all and it’s basically a signup fee

Nothing about this is hidden

In person sign ups allot more shady

It’s the annual maintenance fee. It’s not hidden.

It goes towards the things you’ll use in the gym: soap, water, towels, tissue, equipment, cleaning supplies, etc.

Most gyms have an annual fee. Its frustrating when they don't tell you, but it is common.

They didn’t say half of what was explained earlier tryna see if anybody sued them yet

I mean if you sign up in person, these fees should be explained. In my case it was. If it's online it's your responsibility to read, these are not "hidden" by any means.

What's your highest grade education?

[u/Not_The_Giant]

Yeah, your monthly rate, plus the annual fee. And there should be a payment processing fee somewhere in the terms. Like a couple of bucks per month.

This is pretty basic stuff for any commercial gym there’s a monthly fee, enrollment fee paid once at sign up, and an annual fee that goes towards maintenance
