David Barton Gym in NYC & South Beach have not returned my deposit after almost 2 months

David Barton Gym, headquartered in NYC, just opened a gym at the Gansevoort South hotel in Miami Beach, FL. They offered "charter memberships" before the gym opened so people could lock in a lower monthly fee for a year and skip registration fees. I paid $90 with my credit card on 4/9/08. They gym would open in june of 08. I received from them a receipt via fax and a signed document saying that if I didn't like the gym for whatever reason after it opened, I could submit a cancellation within 10 days and would get a refund PROMPTLY. I never signed a membership with DBG. The gym had no date to open any time soon after I paid. On 9/08/08 I emailed a request for cancellation and for my refund but did not get my refund. The gym opened until 10/13/08. I showed up and provided my written cancellation. I was told I would get a refund by the 4th day.I didn't get my refund. I called to follow up and was told I would get it within 30 to 60 days. I got very upset because they've already had my money for 6 months. I was told they would look into it and speed up my request.It's been 15 days and I still have not received my refund. They are simply playing me around. I call and email them every day. Only two people have been kind enough to follow up, or at least put up a front to make it appear like they are but the person that issues the refunds hasn't done it. My advice to anyone considering joining that fancy gym is don't do it. They're thieves. They'll take you for a ride. The gym is gloomy and the valet parking is $5 for 2 hours. Originally they had said it would be for free. Ha ha ha...another one of their lies! There are plenty of other options to work out. Do not consider David Barton at all.
