Club Boom Sucks!
I have been reviewing products, services and website as an income-generating hobby for quite a while now. Most of my reviews are somewhat positive and inspirational. I praise a company if it is worthy of it. This time, I am posting a review of something that I personally experienced.
I, along with my husband and daughter, visited a fitness club in the hope that it can help with my goal to get fit. It is called Club Boom Fitness and Racket Club in Ormond Beach .Aside from its location, they were running a 15-dollar per month promo, which was posted in their website and brochures that were scattered to some local establishments. When I saw it, obviously, it caught my interest. I had been wanting it for a long time, and I needed a motivation to do it – maybe a lower monthly membership fee? Fitness gyms can be very expensive. On the night that we had the orientation with the general manager, I was convinced that I had a great deal. I was so elated and even brag about it in my other blog. Little that I know, it would only take one session for me to realize that it was the worst decision I made in my whole life. I fell for it! I was captured by the typical high-pressure selling tactics. Anyway, below is my review of this gym.
If you subscribe to this fitness gym, you are just looking for trouble. Do not be fooled with those 15-dollar per month flyers you see in local establishments and their website. It is just a bait. They will not really grant you that "promo", and instead give you another dollar figure, wherein high-pressure selling is used...just like in a fucked up used-car dealership. The word "everything" is uttered during the sales pitch, but really, when you sign the contract, it is not "everything". Some hidden fees will only be known when you actually start using the facility. When you bring this matter to their attention that these fees were never mentioned, you will then be called a liar. You will end up feeling deceived, and before you know it, cancellation of the contract will be a pain in the neck. When your check cleared, the contract will be considered valid. And you have to deal with a third party collection agency just to cancel your subscription. A big no, no to anyone who is looking to get fit. Find somewhere else.
You see, I fairly understand that fitness gym membership can be expensive, but it is a matter of principle. Even if I spend only a dollar on something, but I feel deceived, I rather return or cancel. Whenever a bad blood is created, it will always stay.

Selling Your Unwanted Diamond Jewelry
However, have you ever wonder the other benefits of diamonds aside from its aesthetic magnificence? It is a good investment, and expensive one too. You can make money from diamond and estate jewelry. Aside from enjoying its beauty, you can also sell diamond jewelry. Do you have a diamond necklace that just sit in your jewelry box for ages, and you do not care to wear anymore? Is your engagement or marriage broken and you do not want to wallow on the pain? Are you financially broke just like most of us nowadays? You have options, you know. Think about it.
When you decide to let go of your priced possessions, your jewelry, it is a daunting task to find a reliable buyer. Since we are talking about big bucks here, it is recommended to use a third party to verify the authenticity of the items, before any transfer of money will take place. A company called IDoNowIDont.Com helps buyers and sellers meet and trade. The good thing about it is, the company protects the interest of both parties to ensure legal and fair trading.
