I was constantly called by phone saying that there is a 60% offer that day and they dint want me to miss the opportunity etc etc. I even starting cutting the call whenever i saw it. But i really dont know what the heck went wrong with me, i picked up their call and said i will visit there Clinic that day when i was going to Coimbatore.
I visited the clinic and Ruba (Marketing person) spoke to me. She assured me that i will lose 20 kgs in 45 sittings and that there are people who lost more than 20 kgs in 45 sessions etc. She said she is giving me a 60% discount if i pay the same day and said that she will also include beauty treatment for Rs.10000 and skin firming session also with that. She kept stressing that i will miss out on this price if i delay. So i like a fool immediately paid Rs.10000 (24/3/18)which was with me and i got someone from my office to pay the balance 30000 the next day (Sunday- 25/3), she made it sound so very urgent and i got fooled. Monday i paid the balance 20000 . I should have used my brains, but it is their way of fooling people, i am sure most of the people who joined there have my experience. Since i am a straight person, i dint realize that i was taken for a ride.
After paying the money, i went through so many websites, where they clearly say that there is not going to be any weight reduction due to massage and steaming. The treatment i would say is very harsh, they use something like an ironbox on your stomach and it goes up and down the stomach and you get scared if she will hit any of your bones etc. They do it for about 20 mins on the stomach and then they apply oil on stomach and massage for another 10 to 15 mins. I was getting scared whether my internal organs would get damaged. The massage is only for the stomach.
Then they lay you down on a plastic mattress and they they cover you with another mattress, it is an electric blanket. you will be put under it for 45 mins. And you will be sweating like anything. i went for 2 sessions and then i couldnt take it. I was simply sitting and sweating all the time and i was feeling very uncomfortable. It was like sitting inside the oven all the time. My skin was becoming dry and i had red boils on leg and stomach.
I read about that and it says heating your body for around 45 mins is bad, it says you shoulnt do it for more than 15 mins. I lost water from my body and also my skin feels dry. It was like sitting in a furnace and the best thing is no weight loss.
About the dietician there, when i asked for the diet, she asked me to follow the same diet with little modification. I went there again and i said, i want a good diet, like 1200 cal diet, and she was not at all interested in giving me a diet sheet, she sounded like diet does not help you in weight reduction and she said she will only give me a 1700 cal diet and i felt so bad to have lost my money to these frauds. I am not a fool, i know almost 70 to 80% is diet and the balance exercise. due to my compulsion she just gave me a [censor] diet sheet. I make better ones. I was really depressed. I stopped going for the sessions and i went asked them for the refund and they say they can only give me alternate treatment for weight-loss, but no refund.
i thought of using it for any other beauty treatment they have. They say thats not possible. It seems i have to take a seperate plan for that. I really feel miserable/depressed/fooled/taken for a ride etc. I dont know if i will get my money back, but i want the others to be careful. Its not because i care about others its just because i dont want these frauds to swindle money and become rich by fraudulant ways.
That place is very creepy. They never let you talk to another client. They just push you into one of the rooms and make u sit there. And they have all fancy designation for ladies who dont look qualified at all.
Friends, the best way to reduce weight is good diet and exercise. Its better to meet a good dietician and get her advise. I am going to fight for my money. I need your help/suggestion.
