Women, who get attracted to women only gyms because of privacy, please avoid this one.I went through a horrible experience here.
In Contoursindia website, I saw they gave 3 days trial and went to try it, but soon found out that there was to be no trial. Since this gym gives minimum three months membership, I was willing to take that but they sweet talked and sold me their 3 month fat loss challenge program which cost me Rs.12000 which I soon realized was a complete waste. For one whole week, I was allowed to use a stationary bicycle and nothing else.
After lots of pleading and begging, second week I was allowed to use weight machines but only with minimum weights that they prescribe, and I would never feel like I was exercising. They told me if I increased the weights, they would stop training me. The trainers were always rude. There are very less machines in the studio, absolutely no treadmills. And by the time you finish the membership, I doubt if they teach all the machines to everyone.
The diet given, was useless to me. If I had strictly followed that diet plan, I would not have lost even a single pound. To learn any new exercise, the trainers needed to be pleaded and they would keep putting it off for later giving one or the other excuse, it felt like they were only there to remind you to use lighter weights.
I have never seen anyone in good shape there, even after using the gym for long time.To be true, I did not like the training advice given nor the fact that I had to run behind and plead the trainers to teach me new exercises, all the time. There are lots of glasses and mirrors around the whole place. I used the gym for exact one month and one day a weight accidentally slipped out of the weight rack while I was picking a weight and hit a glass behind the rack. The glass cracked and I was asked to pay Rs 2500 as damages to continue using the gym.
The studio has not been properly planned to accommodate such unfavorable events. I still feel weight racks should not be kept near glasses or mirrors for safety purposes. They dont refund the fees once paid. They have no option to adjust the damages within the amount paid for membership even. Even though I asked them to adjust the damages in my membership fee and let me use the gym for lesser days, they were very rude and said they could not allow me inside until the damages were paid.
Otherwise they would cancel the rest of the membership, they told me. I chose to cancel it. This was the most harrowing experience I have ever had in my life. It was a complete waste for me. I would suggest shy women to think again before they join this place. It does not even deserve one star.
