I have a new member who recently joined as a 12month Unlimited member.  Came to about 15 classes in her first month.  When her second billing cycle rolled around, her card declined.  Went through the natural steps and she mentioned this is "no longer for her and she wants to cancel her membership".  Our policy states you owe 50% of the remaining balance, which she was aware of before joining, but she was not having it.  Her card processed a few days later, but we are running into this issue again going on her 3rd month and she reached out again saying she wants to cancel, penalty free.  I've graciously offered a tier lower to downgrade, but have not heard back from her (yet). I most certainly do not want to let her off the hook, but she's delaying payment, not coming to classes, and is becoming a pain in my butt :) 

Any advice on how to best navigate this situation?

Caylee Wheeler Yes! It really helped stretch the challenge out.  Once people made "bingo" by a designated date, we entered their cards into a raffle for the grand prize.

Ours is pretty specific to our modalities, but you get the idea :) Have fun!

Alexa C. | @alexagrowmybusiness yes :( Happened about two months after he guest taught at our studio. The dude is awful in every single way possible.

Ugh, this is awful and so unfair.  I know how much we all value our reviews.   From what I've gathered is it's essentially a dead end.  We've been harassed by someone who notoriously does this to studios (that he's never visited) all over the US, Mexico, and Canada.  It was so extreme that I know other studios filed reports.  Unfortunately, the Google reviews remained :/ So sorry this is happening!

this is correct!

Not entirely the same situation, but we have an image release in our Terms of Services when people create an account stating that our staff reserves the right to film for marketing content in each of our classes.  We also restate this verbally as it's written in membership agreements when we have them sign their contract.  We do our best to put a positive spin on this and have never had any complaints, however, I can most certainly see this woman's POV, as the filming is happening from a stranger in class, not somebody on your team.

Maybe add in verbiage somewhere stating the policy you'd like so everyone is aware? Or maybe have a designated section of machines that are "no film" zone that people know if they book mega #4 & 5 they won't have to worry about being filmed?  Goodluck!
