Ignite Fitness
Based on recent customer reviews, Ignite Fitness is facing significant customer experience challenges, with a recurring theme of frustration around billing and cancellation processes. Customers consistently mention unauthorised debit orders continuing after cancellation, unresponsive head office communication, and disputes escalating to debt collectors. Several reviewers describe branch closures at locations like Menlyn, Rosebank, and Randburg without adequate notice or refunds. While some longstanding members acknowledge decent equipment, the prevailing sentiment reflects deep dissatisfaction with administrative handling, contract transparency, and overall customer service responsiveness across multiple branches.

I am truly dissapponted in the service I received from Ignite Fitness. I joined the Menlyn branch end July 2025, only to find out that the gym will be closing the next month (August). I did not get notified of its closure, I coincidentally heard thereof by another member in the gym. I only got an email after the gym already closed. Therefore a misrepresentation was made to me by allowing me to join the gym a few weeks before its closure. After the gym closed, the debit orders for my membership fee continued every month despite its closure. I have called and emailed their head office numerous times to have this debit order stopped as the bank has informed me that they need to stop the debit order from their side. This month, another debit order got deducted under the name of a gym replacing the JOHANNESBURG branch. Once again to no avail I cannot reach anyone to assist me in this matter.

The worst ever!!!! what a ****. My gym membership expired and they continued with it saying I’m supposed to send a cancellation email as my contract states. I’ve been sending that email since August and the whole of last month, no one bothers to respond or even acknowledge the cancellation but they are the first to debit my account. It’s a ****!!!!! Avoid them at all costs.

Ignite Fitness offered me a free month to try them out, this was about 3 years ago, i never went to the gym as I was in the process of relocating none-the-less Ignite opened the membership and started charging me. i have since spoken to many consultants and they never cancel the "contract" Ignite Somerset West will do anything to get members, regardless of what you do they will never stop billing you. Just today i was billed again for a membership I never took out and complained about many times. they have put debt collectors onto me for gym fees, even after all of this I am yet to step foot in the establishment. I have tried calling them but all the numbers listed are not answered, this seems like a **** operation in the manner in which they operate. BEWARE ALL!

horrible service, I paid their termination fees, send them my proofs of payment they did not allocate my funds to my profile so they took to the lawyers VVM attorneys. I have been harassed by VVM attorneys even though I paid and the mistake is with Ignite Fitness. I keep calling Ignite Fitness and they say they allocated my funds to my profile but VVM attorneys still harass me.
