Fantastic experience: Great gym! Everything you would ever need in a gym is there!! Great atmosphere, members are all very friendly.

Negative experience: Here's the craziest story you will ever hear. I was looking to join this Gym and one of the owners ( the wife part owner of the husband, wife and Teresa part owners) I meet to discuss the membership says "yes you can do crossfit here. What kind of equipment do you need?" So I join a couple months later and the "crossfit open" was about to start at this time so I put up an announcement on the chalk board, which is an entire wall nearly full of members drawings,about the start date because I know how hard it can be at times to dedicate yourself to what is right ...exercise is "beyond fitness". Not to these guys it ain't. At this point no one in the gym knows me so when I go in one day to see "Brandon H. there is no crossfit here" written on the wall I'm absolutely shocked. I knew somebody had to of taken the time to look me up on a camera to publically indict me on something that was meant in my heart as something wholesome. Why would you want to put that kind of HATE on your companies walls. Why would you, why would you say all the things you did then go back on them?...let me finish. I try to get a hold of the owners and cannot so I retaliate because such passive agressive incivility and ignorance deserves it. I write profanity asking who wrote what they did. The husband owner gets back to me at noonish after i leave a voicemail that morning. He apologizes vehemently, saying that's not what kind of people they are "period". He also says the situation would be "rectified immediately". He says that the other owner Teresa was the one that looked me up on the camera. I ask for a refund and he tells me that he would be getting a hold of me. Next day I'm waiting to hear back and so I go to the gym to see if they have erased it just to find more passive agressive b.s. written after I'd talked to the husband owner. It read "kid friendly no profanity on black board . SQUASH IT. You indict me then try to do it again because a natural reaction to idiocy occured? I call and text to see what's going on and send them the photo of what is written again. I eventually just inside to workout because ironically I needed to blow off steam at the very place causing a lot of problems. The husband owner walks in while I'm working out. He says hi, then leaves before I'm even finished with a set. I finally get a text at 720 that night saying we could meet to get refund. I decline because I work for a living. I offer to meet tomorrow but instead asks me "what exactly the issue is". After an apology from the husband the day before, his wife apparently( it was her text signature) text me this. So at this point I'm thinking my old maxims for living: : same old, same old, people are horrible and stupid" . So I tell the story AGAIN of the gross injustice and she replies That we could meet in ten minutes to get refund. I tell her "I don't feel safe" around them because they obvious "don't get it" and that they can " keep the money". She replies with "Then do not comeback. I am sorry, I'm shutting down your card tonight". I ask him how the hell he can just tell me "Then don't come back" after saying that it was not the company's ethos to be blatantly rude such as they were. He calls me at this point and he shows all his true colors to me and the world by yelling repeatedly so as to not to allow me to speak. By saying that what I wrote was not to inspire any one but was for ill apparently. That it was him texting the whole time. That crossfit is bad. He also backtracked a number of times so I don't really know whats true and what's not. I'm going to try to not curl inside and seclude because people can be so ____( explain it to me what word may I use). I'm going to try to be still the most positive I can be, read some classics and thank God there are some very intelligent people out there, just as smart as the dumb ones are dumb.
