Bad Employees
Every good employee they get, they lose. Craig, Aaron Stoner, Rich, Vince, Kaleb etc. I was a member for years and NOW they have the unfriendliest managers I've ever seen at a gym. A personal trainer named Charles who has never once been...

WORST DAYCARE I WOULD KNOW I WORK IN IT!
I work in the daycare and its a nightmare, How can 1 person watch 30 children by themself? You dont really even get paid enough to really care. As long as they come out alive. They are the worst people to work for EVER which is why im on...

Change needed
I've been a member of this club since 1996. I joined when the club was located next to the Cactus. It has come a long way since those days. Reading the reviews would scare me if I wasn't already a member. Here is what I see. I...

Like it!
I joined over a year ago and have been very pleased. I have heard, from others, about the Clubs refusal to stop payments, however the club itself is nice. All of the employees have been friendly and helpful. I LOVE the classes they offer...

See the Tippecanoe Court public records
Don't waste your time joining. Don't waste your time with the BBB. And don't waste your time or money taking them/him-Paul Fortwendel to court. The number of times he has been taken to court are ridiculous....

Know who you are giving your money to
The postive comments listed are obviously individuals that never needed to cancel their membership. We are a military family and gave the club over a 30 day notice. They continued to charge our account. We contacted them and they said...

No Honor
Bottom line, Paul is not a man of honor. If your Words no Good then your no good really represents the business practices of International Sports Club. Every personal trainer I've ever known that has worked there has quit because of non...

Scam artists at large
Please do not do business here. They are scanners. Managers/owner are pieces of garbage. Especially Aaron stoner , what a jerk. Only out for money and are somehow allowed to steal it. Almost an example of the failure of the court...

WOW!!!!!
WOW!!! Looking at these reviews are truly frightening! Looking to join a gym and so glad I came to the reviews before going to ISC. And to think I would have left my child with one of their staff in the childcare area...I think NOT!

UNETHICAL OWNER - TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
What a terrible excuse for a business. I used the Southside location for 9 months and enjoyed the use of the equipment. Joe Gamble who works there is awesome. He is friendly and caring. When I went to cancel my membership I filled out...

CONSUMER WARNING: DO NOT JOIN!!
I can attest these negative reviews are all TRUE!! People put a lot of time and effort into deciding to join a gym and which is best for them. It isn't easy putting your money into something like this so you want it to go well. Their...

Do not sign a contract!
DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THIS GYM. If you do out of ignorance save all copies of your contract! I unexpectedly had to move after signing a year contract. I paid my termination fee in October. I was told I would still be charged the...

Very Pissed off Customer
I agree with all bad reviews of this business. I found their equipment less than adequate, many times going to workout and only one of the six treadmills worked. After my two year contract was up, I completed the paperwork to cancel my...

This sports club from what I have seen works very hard to keep everything working smooth. When I saw these review I thought this place had to be a joke, but after 4 years I am still very happy the employees are very nice and are always...

Great place!
After reading all of these reviews I was very VERY hesitant to join International sports club. I am an engineering grad student at Purdue and I already was fed up with the rec center and now its under construction. Newtone wasn't really...

Difficulty with contract cancellation
When I was working out at the club (west side) I found it reasonable... sometimes they would be out of towels or the sauna would not be hot, but those were my only complaints.\r

This place SUCKS!!!!
This place has the worst managment of any facility in the world. The employees make rude comments about the obese persons comming into the store. Additionally, closing the account is a nightmare. You never really close the account. ...

Out of touch with reality
I think its funny that the owners wife is so crazy, that she sits at home on her computer and monitors all the employees facebook pages. She forces all employees to be friends with her or they will be fired. WTF. Crazy.

LISTEN TO EVERYONE ON HERE AND STAY FAR AWAY FROM INTERNATIONAL!
This is the worst business I've ever come into contact with. I'm definitely beating a dead horse by saying that I got suckered into a 2 year contract promising me affiliated gyms everywhere if I happened to move. I moved and the closest...

I've been a member for about four months and so far enjoy it. I wish they'd give guest passes to members in good standing though. Easy way to get more business I'd think. \r

Management is terrible... I'd avoid this place
This gym is a joke. I made the mistake of signing a 2 year membership. When I moved to a new city, they told me I couldn't cancel the membership because they had another gym in the city I was moving to. When I got there, there WAS NO GYM,...

UNETHICAL OWNER - TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
What a terrible excuse for a business. I used the Southside location for 9 months and enjoyed the use of the equipment. Joe Gamble who works there is awesome. He is friendly and caring. When I went to cancel my membership I filled out the required form and provided the requested paperwork, however I was told it had to be approved by Paul Fartwendel, the owner and that it might take a week or two. I started calling to verify that the reimbursement was in process and that I did not need to do anything else ten days later. I have since called multiple times and left Paul numerous messages. He has NEVER called me back. After a month Robbie answered the phone and put me on hold until I could talk to Paul. Paul put me on hold to verify that there was no affiliate club within the 30 mile radius of where I was moving (a requirement for reimbursement). After waiting on hold for 20 minutes I hung up. I have since called several times and left Paul many messages. I still have not heard

Great place!
After reading all of these reviews I was very VERY hesitant to join International sports club. I am an engineering grad student at Purdue and I already was fed up with the rec center and now its under construction. Newtone wasn't really what i was looking for so I stopped by International on the Westside near my apartment. The Manager there Jason gave me a tour of the place and I was very impressed how clean it was. There was even an employee cleaning the cardio equipment when I was there. The pool was very nice and clear which I did not expect based on these reviews. I was impressed that he was very laid back and not all salesy about it. Grad Students also get a discount so I was pretty happy about that. Jason was very upfront with me about how the memberships worked and even read the back page of the contract to me to answer any questions. I joined about three weeks ago and am very happy with the gym. The staff has even helped me with my workouts. I would recommend this gym to anybod

Cancellation of membership is a Horror Story!

Very Pissed off Customer
I agree with all bad reviews of this business. I found their equipment less than adequate, many times going to workout and only one of the six treadmills worked. After my two year contract was up, I completed the paperwork to cancel my membership with Joe at the sount location. Joe is an awesome person and I have absolutely nothing but GREAT things to say about him. However, the paperwork was never entered and they have been continuing to deduct the $80 from account ever since. The General Manager NEVER returns calls nor takes the time to settle matters until they become so huge there is no way to resolve it to the members liking. He is absolutely pathetic as a business owner and I cannot encourage people enough to cancel their membership and move to another complex that appreciates its members. I agree with the previous review, DO NOT ENTER ANY TYPE OF CONTRACT WITH THIS BUSINESS!!

CONSUMER WARNING: DO NOT JOIN!!
I can attest these negative reviews are all TRUE!! People put a lot of time and effort into deciding to join a gym and which is best for them. It isn't easy putting your money into something like this so you want it to go well. Their facilities are mediocre atbest; equipment constantly not working and their pool is DISGUSTING!!! They require a 2-year contract that comes out of your account automatically, and when you try to cancel they loose the form continuing to withdraw from your account. I went to our bank to have the payment stopped and was told by the branch manager that she has worked with at least 17 other people this month with the same issue. When they put through a stop payment for the dues amount, they just change the amount to get around it, no expert but I believe that's illegal. I have had to cancel my membership twice and it still hasn't been done. Paul is as crooked as they come, refuses phone calls, won't return messages and will screw you and probably his o

Bad Employees
Every good employee they get, they lose. Craig, Aaron Stoner, Rich, Vince, Kaleb etc. I was a member for years and NOW they have the unfriendliest managers I've ever seen at a gym. A personal trainer named Charles who has never once been friendly and looks like he hates his job and never wants to be at the gym. Another front desk manager at the east club named Kasey (KC?) is there everyday and never has been friendly with anyone. Time for a change, and new Employees.

LOVE the Club and Environment!
This sports club from what I have seen works very hard to keep everything working smooth. When I saw these review I thought this place had to be a joke, but after 4 years I am still very happy the employees are very nice and are always willing to help! Some have said that these employees are rude or just plan bad, but I almost always see a smile on every employees face. We need to remember we all have bad days so give the employees a break! As far as the equipment goes i have seen that some things do not work at times but I do understand that happens no matter where you go and it is not the workers or owners who break them it is the members! The child care there is amazing and I would leave my children in there in a heart beat.
