This gym sucked! The owner was a complete flake. Nothing ever got maintained or done. Moving to the new facility killed it. It was old, rotten, with rat feces in the change rooms. Unbelievable that some of you are getting collections letters after that little weasel closed the place down without telling ANYONE.
Good riddance.

Thats not true. I checked with equifax canada and trans union. my credit has not been affected by frogs or the collection agency. if frogs closed down what is there to get??? "J" are you a lawyer looking for business????

I too received a Collections letter even though I cancelled my membership long time ago. Even if we successfully stave off the collection, our credit has still been tainted. I would like to consider a classaction lawyer (who works on contingency) to look at putting a case together.

let's start putting together a mailing list to see if we can get enough backing.

If that message was truly from Collectcents Inc. then we should all expect to see letters in the mail confirming that the accounts have been returned to Collectcents Inc's (former) client as presumably not every person who received the letters over the past few weeks knows about this website and so may be at home stressing out about this. Also, to prove your sincerity you should also be sending communication to the "Ontario Society of Collection Agencies" warning them about this unscrupulous client so that he can't shop the accounts around to other unsuspecting agencies effectively risking their reputations to the degree you risked yours by taking on this account.

Credit Bureau of Canada Collections is no longer representing Frog's Gym Inc. We have had a long relationship with Frog's and while we have not encountered this situation with their business in the past, we feel that the seriousness of this matter was enough to force the termination of our relationship. The accounts in question have been removed from our collection portfolio and are currently in the possession of Frog's Gym Inc. Any inconvenience this matter has caused was completely unintentional.

Thanks for the legal advice. Birds of a feather flock together; Collectcents took on this debt without ANY due diligence and testing... they're both to blame.

Forbes said Collectcents was a "company to watch" ... I say "behind every great fortune is a crime"

Reviewer: IN ADDITION TO LEGAL ADVICE RE: FROGS GYM

Date: 6/11/2010

In addition to the legal advice I got, I noticed that on the Credit Bureau of Canada Collections website they provide the email address for their Ombudsman. An Ombudsman is the person responsible for handling any compliants the public might have against the agency. Anyone who feels they were unfairly targeted by Frog's should email Steve Miller at smiller@collectcents.com. They also have the VP, National Accounts Peter Cuypers email address pcuypers@collectcents.com. Given his job title I suspect that he is incharge of all client accounts, including Frogs. We should all email him too with our concerns regarding Frogs (they need to know that there client is somewhat questionable based on factual things like the fact that up to this time last year, Frogs had an 'F' rating from the Better Business Bureau for unfair business practices with the public). Be nice and professional, with these guys however. They respond more favorably when you don't flip out. Keep the explanations to a minimum, however. Stick to the fact that you dispute the claim and that you demand to see any supporting documentation from the gym owner and intend on settling this in court if need be.

Reviewer: LEGAL ADVICE RE: FROGS GYM

Just spoke with my legal counsel. She says even if the collection agency says they've sent everything back to Frogs you should still follow the required protocol under the law. Specifically, the laws of Ontario will only protect you if you send a registered letter (i.e. "Expresspost" at Canada Post) to the agency saying simply the following: "I dispute the claim against me from your client and suggest you take the matter up in court. As per the Collection Agencies Act of Ontario end all communication with me immediately". Do not explain anything to them and do not provide them with any information. It can only be used against you. If the owner is silly enough to pay $1,000 to retain a lawyer to take us all to court for a ridiculous case like this then he will likely come up short for one thing (most of you have charges below $1,000) and your lawyer (or paralegal) can simply countersue for their fee. That way you get your legal fees back. THE KEY FOR EVERYONE HERE IS TO LODGE FORMAL COMPLAINTS AGAINST FROGS WITH THE POLICE, AND THE MINISTRY OF CONSUMER SERVICES CONSUMER PROTECTION BRANCH: 4162296086. God bless guys.

Reviewer: COLLECTIONS LETTERS!!!

Date: 6/11/2010

If any one out there got the same collection letter I did yesterday DONT PAY IT! Call CREDIT BUREAU FO CANADA COLLECTIONS at 18002658964 ext 326 you will reach Rhonda Nicholson. She is a supervisor there. She informed me all accounts have been sent back to the FROG GYM! She said my account was closed and no longer in collections. She also said she came in Tuesday morning to over 50 messages and has taken nothing but dozens and dozens of calls from upset people like me all week! We were victoms! I wonder if I should report this to the police at this point but I guess if the case is closed theres not point..? Anyway I just wanted to take the time to post this so if anyone elce gets this type of collection letter and gets upset as I did and comes on this site reading this info will immediatly put their mind at ease. Call the number and give Rhonda your DEBT# on the top right corner and she will let you know if your account has been closed with them or not. CHEERS PEOPLE! and POO to Frog GYM!

I too got a collection letter in the mail today :(
How is this even possible! I quit the gym over a year ago. Called up to ask how. The girl said I just had to make 2 payments and come sign that I was quitting. I did go in make the necessary payment required and was told I was out of my contract and they didnt take any more payments out of my bank account after that, so I assumed all was taken care of. I would think if they though I still owed them they would have continued to try to take payments..no? 6 months later the location closed. I had heard they only relocated..but either way didnt matter to me since I was no longer a member. That was about 6 months ago..so my question is..in this past year how is it if they even thought I owed them any money no one for the gym ever tried to contact me to give me the chance to clear up that fact that I did pay out and quit last summer? No calls.. no letters..no nothing.. then I find out I have been sent to Collections? Something is seriously wrong with this picture people! I will be reporting with the police as another person suggested. This if flat out fraud. Strength in numbers folks! The only got me for $175 that I DONT owe them. But its the principal! No one should get away with being able to ruin your credit :(

I just got a collections letter for $1,800!!! How is that even possible? I cancelled my membership back in 2008, requested proof of cancellation from the girl at the desk. she said she couldn't find the slips and would mail it out later. which she never did. the new owner claims a year later that he'll send it out but never did either. next thing i get is an $1,800 letter. I filed a fraud report with the police. i'd encourage anyone else subject to these collection agency letters to do the same.

I have been a member for 6 years and always paid my stuff to them, but as a longtime customer I was not expecting a letter from collections. I would not recommend Frog's to anyone!!!!!!!!!

Frogs downsized their facility and moved to a smaller location. It seems that they submitted their contracts to collections regardless of substance in order recoup money. I feel bad that the owners couldn't make it work, but this practice is irresponsible and hurts the credit ratings industry.

Collection Letters? Thats pretty serious. I've been going to this gym for 2 years now and never had a problem with payments. Maybe the reason your receiving these letters are due to not paying your membership on time or you have no money in your account and just making excuses. I've seen the front desk tell members that there account went NSF and the member just lie about it. Members here just want a free membership and are too cheap to pay $ 25 a month. Maybe you deserve a letter from collections because your the one making excuses.

I Too just received a collection letter regarding payment for $500! This is a huge scam! I have not been there for 2 years and did not get a phone call or a letter from them until now. On our contract we had the previous manager write a note that we are allow to cancel anytime. They had the nerve to say that its under new management and that the previous owner should not have written that on the contract. Then the receptionist said to us that they will look into this. BS! We should SUE!

Frog's is closed. They auctioned off EVERYTHING they owned on the 22nd of May. I just checked out Fitness Connection and it's actually a really good gym. I was surprised because I hadn't really heard much about it before. I was also plesently surprised at how nonpushy the sales guy was. I think his name was Matt, or Mike or something. He just showed me around, made sure I understood everything and didn't pressure me at all. Check it out. I ended up signing up there because they are doing a promotion for people coming from Frog's.

Just an fyi to everyone....FROGS will be closing. If you google "97 Newkirk auction" you will see multiple hits showing FROGS is auctioning all their equipment this Sat (May 22, 2010). That is why there is no signs saying when the gym is reopening and why you see no construction happening and why no one picks up their phone. FROGS is done as a gym. Time to choose another gym..Fitness Connection is just around the corner and Wynn is down the street from the old locations...pay them a visit...you will be amazed....I been at FROGS so long I almost forgot how clean a gym should be. I choose Fitness Connection...good price, excellent equipment, ample space, and very clean.

I feel sorry for the FROGS owner, but the writing was on the wall as to when he will close ever since he moved locations...I would find myself working out alone on most nights. Anyway, try one of the other gyms and get back to your workouts!

I don't mind the gym. I know that it takes time to get everything in order after a location move but I'm very disppointed with the lack of communication. Right now there is a sign that says that the gym is under construction but yet, there are no trucks or whatever in the parking lot. What is up??? This is the second time that this has happened with no forewarning!!! I want all the extra time during the closure added to my membership which is only fair.
Also, update the location information on their websites!! I try to call their number and no one picks up and their is no voice mail to even leave a message!! Is that even legal??? I will definitely put a validated complaint with the BBB.
Very disappointed!!

BUT recently, they just put up a sign that says "temporarily closed for construction"... GIVE US A FRIGGIN WARNING NEXT TIME!

The reason Frogs has lasted so many years is because they have the best equipment and tons of it. The club was designed by pros that knew what they were doing. They just opened up a new wing of the building so the place is much bigger now. They have the best prices by far and tons of parking and it's not crowded. Frogs will always be the best place to gain some muscle or lose weight and everyone there is really cool. The snooker table is a nice addition, it's relaxing after a workout.

A lot of thought went into this new location... mainly for women since it has private areas for women. I like the professional look and if they do a little more decorating, it will be beautiful. At only $25.00 per month, it's the best deal going. I've been to a lot of clubs but Frogs has equipment that no other club has, so it makes for an interesting workout. A lot of new female members have joined so I'm making a few new friends too. The staff is excellent and very professional, not like other clubs.

You'll never find a better gym for the price. Frogs has excellent equipment and no rubber dumbells and the new building is brilliant.

Imagine an office with lots of rooms and hallways packed with the old gym machines. The ceiling is low and there is no air. The place is dark and makes you want to leave asap. The owner is delusional and firmly believes that everyone loves it that way. Currently considering Snap or Connections.

The major problem is that the owner is fraudulent. Don't ever give them your credit card or they will over charge you for no reason and continue to charge you even after you cancel your membership. You can never get a hold of the Dave, the owner to resolve the issue. He NEVER returns any of your calls. Very unprofessional. The facility is fine but be warned of the billing. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD.

They have a professional 6x12 snooker table that's beautiful and it's free for the members, plus all the equipment and they've only begun. The new place is super clean and just north of the GO Train. For the price, it's now better than ever with tons of potential. The owner gave me a tour tonight and I now see his vision of what a real club should be. It will be interesting to see what he does with this place because nobody will be able to copy it. Brilliant!

I was at the new location today and it's really nice. They put the sensitive ladies equipment in private rooms and the whole place is like brand new... The building is interesting and has a kitchen so I can make a cup of tea and relax after. Some good creative thinking went into this and with a little decorating it'll be very nice.

I was at the new location on 97 Newkirk yesterday and had a tour of the new building and it's really nice! They have a huge sign out front that they're opening this Monday (don't know how you missed it). Apparently the 15 movers were completely destroyed after 30 hours of moving everything so it's taking a few more days to get setup but the place is really great and they're doing things that no club has ever done before. Frogs has always been the best gym with equipment that no other club has but now it's going to be much better and it's close to the GO Train which makes it even easier for me.

Has Frog's Gym gone bankrupt???
New location at 97 newkirk rd. is not open and the leasing sign in front of building is still up. What is going on?? This is very upsetting if this is the case and to purposefully misguide the members to think that there would be a new and better facility opening is unacceptable.

I think that this site has for reviews has become a page with negative feedback from immature members who are using this site as a blog to seek out personal vandettas. This gym has the basics for anyone wanting a good work out. Yeah, so the weights aren't always put away, but because the rates are so low, a lot of its members are younger people who might not consider to put weights away. However, the majority of its members are considerate & put weights away. It's a gym, and if the weights you want are on the floor, then give yourself a workout & pick them up! Sabrina works at the front desk and she is a nice, attractive young girl who doesn't deserve such inappropriate comments from an evidently horney, former pissedoff member that spends his time writing reviews when he's drunk!

This is a nice club to workout at. They have all the equipment you could wish for and more and I've never had a problem in the 5 years I've been going. Over the past year, they've made it better and cleaner with better staff and even gave me a lower monthly price. They were the first place to really battle the H1N1 by sanitizing everything every few days and offering sanitizer and hand wipes for the equipment, so nobody can knock this club because they've done everything right which includes getting rid of a few dummies. You don't need a fashion show to get in shape, just a good place to workout.

This is a very good gym. I know the owners have kicked out some idiots as I saw this happen last week and about 2 weeks before that. They run a good club and keep everything very organized. The bad comments on here are from people they've kicked out for sure and I guess they're angry that they cannot go back. For 30 bucks a month and with no fees, this is the best place to go for a good workout and the atmosphere is very nice.

I started working out here about 3 days ago. I can honestly say these are some of the nicest people ever. I signed up with Sabrina, WHAT A GIRL!! She told me where the Glory holes were in the bathrooms. From there, she gave me a body fat test. I have never had anyone put me at ease orally as she did. I think my penis was even surprised. After that, she pointed out the easy staff members and told me which ones I had the best shot at. I couldn't believe all these things were available at a gym. She told me they even had a ROCK CLIMBING machine. I can't believe it.....all my dreams are coming true!!!! She told me that WIFI was available there too. That was great because I am a multitaker. While I was dropping loads, I connected to my favorite website...FROG's gym.ca ....ohh wait that doesn't exsist!!LOL Can't wait to see you all there!

This is a good gym with massive amounts of equipment that other clubs don't have. The staff is very friendly and it's not over crowded. The prices are so low it's almost free and they really care about how people feel so I'm happy to pay the small fee per month to people that are worthy of it. For sure the people that are complaining are the ones that owe money because nobody ever has a problem if they keep on top of their membership. The new owner has kicked out many idiots and has cleaned up the club to make it better for everyone... good job !

I am writing this review after stumbling upon this site. I will say first off the bat, that I was a member of Wynn fitness down the street. Although that place was okay, it was so incredibly busy at all hours of the day that I was constantly waiting for machines and I grew tired of all the nonsense surrounding it. I went to Frogs gym. They are so friendly and nice. They're memberships are so easy to understand. I love how the gym is not busy and you can just have time to yourself to work out. My girlfriend loves the ladies area, they're spiral stair case is really cool. They recently repainted the men's changeroom, and I got talking to the 2 owners...apparently they're putting in some new stuff and redoing stuff and everyone is excited. These owners are real neat freaks. There is hand sanitizer constantly available in both changerooms and the front desk. They have environmentally friendly cleaing products, and if you don't trust those, they have lisol whips everywhere. My gf loves using the women's section that's completely sealed off, she feels very comfortable there. Plus...the price here is the best ever. It is so dirt cheap! You can not go wrong with this gym!

Dear Chlamydia ridden Claudia:
Would you complain if you got double billed or billed ever if you still cancelled? Additionally, please acknowledge the fact that Frog’s gym does not have the cleanest or newest equipment. Your comment means nothing because I can admit the prices are good ...but what new equipment have they installed? I have been there since the original owner sold it and everything is the same excluding the fact that they added hand sanitization. Lastly, entertainment is disappointing. Although they have satellite they choose to watch news channels from Victoria BC & I don’t understand why they think a consumer would want to watch this? For some reason the staff can’t even work the remote control even upon a request. Lastly, I have yet to work out once where I see a staff member actually get up to clean machines even though I have stayed for hours. It is disturbing because I appreciate the price but they do not take the time to clean every machine used. Obviously my cleanliness standards are higher than theirs.

The people writing these bad things must be the ones that the owner kicked out of the club or maybe they're not members at all and just trying to give a good club a bad name. I've been here for 2 years and the equipment has never fallen apart. This club has equipment that no other club has and the people are very nice. There were a few bad ones that were kicked out by the owner months ago for not paying and being rude. This is best deal going and it's not over crowded and all the equipment is just fine. They're doing a great job at keeping the place clean. Maybe these people are angry that they're not allowed back in so they're trying to give the place a bad name !

You can find this establishment on located on Yonge St just north of Elgin Mills. Typical gym attire is required (rain coat and boots). When you aren't working out, enjoy a protein shake at the Juice Bar or make your own protien shake for Jenn to enjoy! The fine array of staff make you feel at home and is typically what you would find at your local bar or Gentleman's Club. I agree with Jenn in saying the staff is will to go out of their way. Hell they will even double your membership fees without you knowing...FREE OF CHARGE!!!!! Furthermore to put you at ease, they will forward these charges through your credit card without you knowing. What Service! What Class...I hope you to enjoy taking it up the.......FROGS GYM. Come down! or they will go down on you!

It's obvious the ones complaining are the ones that didn't pay for their memberships. The people that run this club are very nice and everything works just fine. They have the lowest prices and no fees so whoever is complaining should get a life and also pay for their membership. They have excellent equipment with brand new upholstery, new lighting and it's very clean now (huge difference from last year). It's the best deal in Richmond Hill for sure. This club also has a higher rating than all the others and has been there forever. There are always people that like to say bad things when they can't afford to pay the small fee for a good facility.

What isn’t there to love about Frogs? Dave is a super swell guy and looks like he is from an 80’s sitcom. The facility is great, with an open concept and plastic buckets for the waterfalls to drain into. The amazing heat in the summer and the torn screens invite wildlife to make the tropical rainforest theme complete. I also love how many of the members do not put the free weights or any of the other equipment back. Who really wants to do work during a workout? The broken machines and equipment also make Frogs Gym a wildly unique experience. Check it out for yourself you will be amazed.

My favorite part of this gym is that on a rainy day you can always stand under one of the many holes in the ceiling and get a refreshing shower. Or better yet, if its a real hot day you can stand in the middle of the gym and feel like you're in a sauna due to the lack of air conditioning. What a deal, at other gyms you have to pay for use of the sauna's, at frogs you get it for free.

Once new ownership came in, one manager kept promising to cancel my membership per my contract and the other said they would not honor anyone's contract. For the past three months, the first manager has been telling me he'll stop billing me and will refund what he shouldn't have billed in the first place. Each new month, I get charged again and never refunded. My suggestion for any potential members DO NOT sign a contract with this gym, they will not honor client requests or concerns much less contracts and they lie in order to continue getting your money.

Frogs gym is actually a very good club... Everything has been in top shape for the past few months with the new owners operating it. The previous owner wanted to retire so he let things go a little but it's a good club with low rates. It's also been around for 9 years unlike most other clubs that vanish over time. It's a good gym if you need to get in and out quickly and they have a huge parking lot. The staff are great and always helpful to me, so I don't know some people complain so much. For the price, it's the best place going.

First off the member are friendly? You havent come across most of us. They have the best prices because the only thing in the gym that is worth anything are the free weights and even those don't go heavy enough. The machines are another story, the cable machines, the hooks that attach the grips, most are broken. The grips themselves have been worn like in any good gym but haven't been replaced with a few essentials missing. The rock climbing machines that the girls below are raving about was broken for more than a year and was only fixed two weeks ago. In the mens changeroom/washroom, i have the suspicion that it gets cleaned once every two weeks and most of the time not very well than they blame the member for it. the plumbing sucks and needs to be fixed as can be heard from the front door when the center sink get turned on. I also don't like being told not to slam the weights together when it isn't really possible, you try putting down 500 pounds softly. One last thing, the three previous comments left seem to be the employees trying to glorify the place, don't get me wrong some of the employees are nice but generally i don't trust anyone that works there. The new owner seems a bit off as well, I wouldn't trust him if i were you.

This club is amazing! The new staff is so friendly and they don't have any sales people to attack you. They have the best freeweight area and an amazing hill climbing machine that no other club has. The prices are lower than anywhere and it's not busy at all !

Everything at Frogs Gym has changed... New Owners, new staff... The equipment is all working perfectly and it's a great place to go. The members are a very friendly and will help you if you need... The membership prices are the lowest anywhere, so it's a great place to get in a great workout !

I've been here for a year to finish my contract and it's horrible. Equipment is unsafe. The staff lie to us on when they're going to fix the machine. It's been over 2 months since some of the hooks were properly fixed, making the equipment unsafe. The place is not well kept and the treadmills randomized its speed on me twice. I've only seen the place being cleaned maybe three times ever. I HATE THIS GYM, avoid it like the plague.

This is absolutely the worst gym ever!!!! they have unfriendly and downright rude staff. They are extremely disorganized there are no managers and you can never get a hold of the owners. I have been trying to cancel my contract for 6 weeks now but everytime I come in to give a letter the employees tell me that they dont know how to cancel it and that I have to come back. I finaly just placed a block on my account. Please dont sign up there they have the worse customer service I have ever come accross!!!

I'm not sure why the other two reviews are bad. I have had memberships at Bally, Extreme, Goodlife, Sports Clubs and Frog's is much better. It's not a fashion show, it's a gym (mainly for guys who are serious).

HORRIBLE staff. After canceling my membership, by sending in a a signed letter, they still took my monthly fees out of bank account. this totaled over 200 dollars which i never got back. Also, they staff (guys) are glorified juice pushers, I will never go back there.. .PERIOD

Do not join this club. Extreamly poor customer service. Did not refund my fees after I canceled the contract the next day ( I can do it within 10 days according to Ontario law). Look at their record on the local BBB site. So many complains unresolved. I should have checked before I tried to become a member.
