Do not waste your money

by Pebbles900

I had a very bad experience with this Jenny Craig location. I have not tried other locations - I will not go back. My personal counselor admitted several times that she was considerably overweight, out of control, and gaining weight. Not the kind of endorsement you want to hear every week. She would also bag my weekly food and throw in extras that I did not want, like vitamins and supplements, then she charged my credit card for them without my consent. I never knew she did this until after I got home. She also gave me food that I specifically told her that I cannot have due to medical reasons. She had these foods documented on my chart but put them in my food bag and charged me for them anyway. Again, I would not know this until I got home. There was another woman working there who was very hard sell on extras. Every time I was there she pressured me to buy extra stuff like videos and exercise equipment. She was very aggressive about it. I was also pressured on every visit to upgrade my membership plan to a more expensive, longer term contract. Oh yes, you have to sign a contract regardless of which plan you buy. On top of all that, the food was only so-so. Some of it was pretty good, but I had to throw some of it away. Gross. Lean Cuisines are a lot better. I got sick to death of having nearly every meal come out of the microwave. That gets old fast. They also want you to eat a large salad EVERY SINGLE DAY. That also gets old fast. They automatically sell you packets of salad dressing (just throw them in your bag and charge you) until you are drowning in dressing. I stuck with them for a couple of months then got so sick and tired of their high pressure, charging me for extras, and the nuked food that I stopped going. I was afraid of getting some flak from them about it because I stopped going before my contract was up. They called me a couple times wanting me to come back, but they never flexed any legal muscle. My advice to you is to avoid them like the plague.
