Take your money when cancelled

On two separate occasions, they have taken my money despite me canceling at least two days before my renewal.
Customer service just spout the same lines without actually listening or trying to help resolve the issue.

payments taken that shouldn’t have been

They took payment even after I had cancelled the subscription. Customer service just go round in circles with vague answers hoping you just give up on your refund.

In response to RWL’a reply - you had the opportunity to resolve this issue when I 1st contacted you. Apple resolved the matter straight away and refunded my payment immediately.

Disabled People Not Included

As a Results Wellness Lifestyle (RWL) Retreat for healthy, fully able-bodied clients, I think that RWL is absolutely brilliant. However, if you are in any way disabled, or have difficulties with mobility, then I do not think that RWL Retreat is for you.

It was advertised as an all-inclusive RWL Retreat and that it catered to every clients’ needs. However, I found that was not to be the case.

Before attending the Results Retreat, I made sure that I questioned the personal trainers’ ability to assist me where needed because I am disabled. I fully explained my needs on the website questionnaire AND I also emailed the same information across to RWL. When I got to the Results Retreats, none of the staff were aware that I had had a brain injury, let alone that I might need assistance with some of the workouts and different options for the two-hour powerwalks.

I had to explain, quite a few times, what I was able (and unable) to do. I believe that any personal trainer should know if a client is disabled, and how to have a private conversation, so that all of the personal trainers are on the right page with a new client.

One of the positives was that I did have a lovely woman (a family member from the RWL company) that assisted, and stayed with me, on the powerwalks while the rest of the group were way ahead. Sadly, that also then made me feel isolated from the rest of the group because I could not fully participate on the two-hour powerwalks because of my disability. Whenever I finally caught up to the group, the personal trainers got straight up again and carried on the power walk. This also meant that I was not included in any of the group photographs, at any point on the powerwalks, or through the Results Retreat. This once again made me feel extremely upset and isolated from the rest of the group leading to my decision to leave the retreat early.

From the start, I felt like an outsider, and was never really fully included in the workouts. I found that during some of the workouts, I was left to my own devices and did not have help to show me adaptations to suit my capabilities or needs and this made some of the workouts very difficult and - again - made me feel left out.

Once I did decide to leave the Results Retreat, I had been gone for a while before I had any messages. The first message I received was from a family member from the RWL company, asking if I was okay, not one of the RWL personal trainers. I finally received a text from one of the members of staff asking if I was okay. I received no text message or email asking why I left early. I found this very concerning because, as far as I was aware, the members of staff should have had a duty of care for all people at the Results Retreats.

I genuinely feel that I was let down from start to finish throughout my whole experience. As somebody that has had a brain injury, with aphasia and has mobility issues, it took a lot for me to be able to go on a Results Retreat on my own and I feel that this has made me question actually being able to go on a retreat again, which is a shame.

Dated 19 June 2023
As I am disabled, with aphasia, I use texts and WhatsApp. I have APD - an auditory processing disorder - so I rarely use the phone.

Absolutely amazing. No problems ever.

I have been a member of this app for a few years now. And think it’s fantastic. There is always new things coming out. For someone who gets bored easily I have used it for years. It is always there and the trainers are absolutely amazing. Always have time to help.

I have been using rwl for many years…

I have been using rwl for many years now since the birth of my first child. There’s so many different types of workouts with lots of different programmes to follow as well as food and wellbeing advice. It’s kept me the leanest I have ever been and also the fittest, it also helped me stay fit during my second pregnancy and lose the weight after! Not just for women my husband joins me for the workouts just with much heavier weights!

Variety of workouts for Everyone

I have been a member of RWL now for over 2 years and it really has changed my life. The community is great, the variety of workouts is brilliant as there really is something for everyone. I started out as a beginner and the progress over the years really has been astounding. I would never go back to a gym environment after finding RWL, it has given me so much more confidence with my fitness lifestyle.

What a brilliant app!!

What a brilliant app! I use it mostly for the workouts and there are some amazing programmes on there, which really help keep you committed plus work!! Or you can dip in and out of any of the workouts as and when you want too. The trainers are brilliant, and the community means you can get support from other members or even from the Pros. I've only cooked a couple of recipes, but the recipe bank has loads in it.
I love it, it's changed my relationship with fitness.

Incredible fitness and wellness…

Incredible fitness and wellness platform. I discovered RWL about 6.5 years ago and never looked back. An incredible selection of workouts with new ones each week. So many programmes to choose from, incredible recipes and support with lifestyle, sleep, pregnancy, post natal, family, confidence, anxiety, menopause and so much more. I guarantee you will not regret joining this incredible platform and becoming an RWL fittie!

An all round wellness platform that will transform you life!

RWL is a fantastic platform with something for everyone. Not only doesn’t it provide a variety of workout styles, lengths and focuses with modifications for all abilities it also provides delicious balanced recipes, meal plans and the the support of the diet coaches programme and a host of mindset features including life coaching, short courses (motivation, confidence, happiness, stress, sleep, female menstrual health and relationships), meditation, breathing exercises and sleep stories. The community pages are a wonderful feature and I’ve made life long friends through this. Finally there are specialist health sections such as a fantastic pre and post natal section, pain clinic and even a programme to help people into exercise who have never exercised before. There is something for everyone on this well rounded and planned platform; i couldn’t ask for more

Best App I have used.

I have been using this platform since the year it first launched and it has helped me so much with living a healthy, balanced lifestyle! I love the variety of the workouts and I can fit it into my day. I have learnt so much in relation to exercise, nutrition and health. I love the daily planner where I can calorie count when I want to eat in a deficit and all of the yummy recipes! It is a great platform with like minded users all supporting each other. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to make positive changes to their lifestyle.

Huge weight loss results with this app

Fantastic variety of workouts and a huge range of recipes - I’ve lost a lot of weight via this app & website and have been a member for 8 years. Nothing beats it! The support from the trainers and staff within the app itself is outstanding. Yes this website is a subscription as the other reviews state, but that is very clear (it even asks you what term you want the subscription for) and it’s easy enough to cancel any time via the website.

Great variety and flexibility

I’ve been a member of RNWL for a few years now. I was not enjoying the gym and wanted more flexibility and variety. RWL offers complete flexibility so you can fit workouts in around your lifestyle.
I also enjoy the variety of workouts on offer-there is something for everyone of every ability and something to suit every interest and even opportunities to try something new! Having been a member of slimming clubs I had developed an unhealthy relationship with food and an obsession with weighing but with the food section and diet coaches program on RWL I’ve really turned all that around. I would recommend this platform for anyone or any age, ability and stage of life.

I have been an RWL member for 6 years now! In that time i have seen it grow from strength and strength offering me not only structure and a healthy lifestyle but also improved wellbeing, friendships, fitness level improvement and increased knowledge in so many areas. I honestly couldn't rate this platform any higher. Its absolutely fantastic.

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service - like many others I see on this review page I have suddenly been charged £116. I contacted customer services immediately and replies from RWL customer services have not even attempted to help me out. They have been deceptive in taking this money! Avoid at all costs!

SHOCKING!!! Avoid

I am beyond upset, I've noticed £116.99 taken out of my account with out my permission. Im 9 months pregnant due any day and i do not need the stress of dealing with this customer service.

I did the results with bump with RWL and double checked that there was no automatic renewal, as i had to have C section with my last pregnancy and will not be able to do exercise. I've received no email/Phone calls/messages to confirm a renewal.

As soon as i noticed the money was taken out of my account I've contacted RWL asking for a refund, the response I got..... We can offer you a 50% partial refund and to ensure than my account is cancelled as of September.... we have just started July

Do i need to contact a Ombudsmen? to deal with this as I'm having no joy with customer service, and to also inform them to have a look on trust pilot as many have the same complaints that i do.

Poor website functionality and customer service

Had been a member of RWL some years ago and saw an offer advertised so decided to do some research. As I clicked onto the membership option to find out what it included I received a notification from my bank saying the money had been taken! No checkout area or forewarning which is awful, particularly given the rising costs of living and people needing to research and think about their options.

Cancelled immediately and contacted customer services and was told I can't have a refund even though it's been less than 24 hours and I haven't utilised any of the videos/features. Now waiting for a response after mentioning the legailities around cooling off period. Appalling customer service and shocking website functionality, be very careful.

Really unhappy (edited)

Similar to another reviewer, towards the end of a 6 month trial I was sent an email offering 12 months 50% off. I already cancelled autosubscribe but thought I would check it out. I looked in the app and found the 12 month option and clicked on it expecting to find somewhere to add a code or somewhere applying a discount. No, intact I had signed up for a £120 program.
I got in touch with customer service and was told it was my problem/my fault. I'm not very impressed.
Worst of all, by renewing I lost the remaining paid for time on my previous program!

Edit:
The company has been in contact and offered a £20 refund which I have accepted. I imagine I would have renewed my contract but I did not enjoy feeling forced by my mistake. It seems unusual that a successful company would appear to need to so fiercely rely on these accidental purchases that they would write it into their contracts.

No access - useless support

No access, useless support.
I have signed up for a premium membership - happily I may add (haven't been scammed as yet).
However, this past week I have been unable to access the desktop version of the app. I logged this straight away and have received a stream of entirely useless and untimely responses.
For the first few days I was asked if I could access it yet - each time I replied no - a tedious and unsupportive process.
Then I was asked for my password so she could see if she could login for me - obviously I replied no.
Then she kindly pointed out that she could access her account - good for you, no help to me.
Then I filed for another 'ticket' where I was asked for a stream of details about the devices and software I'm using - still awaiting a response, over a week of being unable to access via desktop.

Could someone please actually help

Please avoid this company

I took out a trail membership for 6 months and cancelled straight away so no further charges would be taken at the end of the trail. 6 months later £116 comes out of my account from them. There's no number for them, so you have to email, I was told there was no cancellation, even though i did it straight away and they have absolutely no compassion. I've seen several instances online now of people cancelling but still having money taken, so beware they are thieves
