24-Hour Gym That Would Not Honor a Pass for a Non-Traditional Schedule
Approximately two weeks before visiting the Frisco EōS Fitness location (Preston Rd/Lebanon Rd), I contacted the gym and explained my non-traditional schedule and need to access the gym during very early morning hours. During that discussion, I was told I could still come in early and have the advertised FREE 7-Day Pass honored despite the standard activation hours. EōS Fitness advertises online: “FREE 7-DAY GYM PASS” with “First time guest pass activation available daily between 8AM—9PM.” I understood this was the standard policy, but I relied on the direct conversation I had with staff regarding my situation. Based on that representation, I went to the club between approximately 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM, presented the pass, and it was entered into the system through May 14. I also explained that I intended to sign up for the $9.99 membership after the trial because I currently maintain a long-standing membership with 24 Hour Fitness and wanted EōS Fitness as an additional gym due to its convenience and 24-hour access. After the pass had already been activated, I received a generic text message from the General Manager stating the pass would not be honored because I had previously visited the club. My concern is the inconsistent communication and lack of professionalism. If the gym did not intend to honor the pass, that should have been communicated before the pass was activated and before I was told accommodations could be made. Because EōS Fitness markets itself as a 24-hour gym, there should be a reasonable process for honoring or activating guest passes during all operational hours, not only traditional daytime management hours, especially for individuals with non-traditional schedules. Requested Resolution: • Honor the originally activated 7-day pass. • Improve communication regarding promotional passes and scheduling accommodations. • Establish a process for honoring guest passes during all operational hours at 24-hour gym locations.
