How long does it take to get a fitness card, but you run into a “leak” at the gym?
I applied for a fitness card on impulse but have never been there for some reasons but I can’t get a refund.
……
I think many consumers have had similar problems. Recently, Shanghai’s proposal to establish a “seven-day cooling-off period for fitness membership cards” was announced, and it quickly rushed to the Weibo search, sparking heated discussions among melon eaters.
In fact, as early as October 22, the Shenzhen Consumers Council had advocated establishing a cooling-off period for impulsive consumption in the fitness industry, introducing a “seven-day refund cooling-off period” and promises of ” private training courses without combined consumption “. So what is the “seven day cooling off period”? Here’s a prerequisite: that is, if you order a fitness card on impulse, you can refund the card as long as you haven’t consumed it for 7 days. Rather, once the card is opened for admission, even if it is still within 7 days, the cooling-off period refund clause will no longer apply.
Many netizens applauded and praised the measures for the “seven-day cooling-off period for the fitness membership card application”: Finally, the exercise has ended without “kneeling”! Many netizens also took the initiative by calling: “This medicine for repentance should be promoted throughout the country” …
From the netizens’ reactions, we can also see a problem: actually, people’s body management has become a standard in life. Under the guidance of widespread penetration and discounts from various fitness institutions, impulsive consumption is required to apply for cards. Many people. However, once the enthusiasm of placing a flag to churn the chicken blood is withdrawn, it becomes the normal state of most people not to move or not to move. In addition, with the development of the consumer market for prepaid cards, the gym has become the area most affected by impulsive consumption. The chaos caused by the industry: prepaid consumption is easy to “slip away”, it is easy to open a card, it is difficult to withdraw the card, and first-class service is poor. Consumers are also concerned.
In this regard, the “medicine of regret” launched by Shenzhen and Shanghai undoubtedly offers consumers a buffer period, which not only protects the rights and interests of impulsive consumers, but also helps to promote the standardized and orderly development of fitness institutions and protects the industry market. Health is a win-win movement. Compared with the previous “single hammer sale”, it also balances the profitability of operators and the interests of consumers. At this level, the introduction of the “seven-day reflection period for physical fitness cards” is also a rule of law. improvement.
In fact, the “seven-day cooling off period for card application” is quite similar to the “no-reason seven-day refund” on current online shopping products – it may further encourage the fitness industry to kick out the “bad money” from “good money”. It is foreseeable that with the introduction of the “seven-day cooling-off period for applying for cards” measures, stricter requirements will have been imposed on gym operators. They can only do their best to provide customers with diversified and high-quality services, and provide the correct service orientation to create The core competitiveness of a brand can win by strength and quality.
At the same time, we must address the root causes of various “prepaid fitness cards” problems. On the one hand, it is necessary to regulate the chaos in prepaid consumption, continuously improve the supervision mechanism of prepaid card consumption, and strengthen the supervision and inspection of the market supervision department to better protect the rights and interests of consumers. On the other hand, as consumers, they must also consume rationally and on demand. They must assess whether the selected fitness institution meets the expectations and must also find out why they are applying for a card. Is it to do the same? Or do you really need exercise? Otherwise, even if there are countless seven-day “cooling off periods”, it will be useless. (Yang Yanting)
