Terrible Customer Service
September 30, 2024

I have tried to cancel this membership several times now and they continue running me around, while charging my account. I tried to cancel in app, it directs you to call, you remain on hold for long periods and they still do not cancel the membership. I have filed with the BBB and will not be recommending this company to anyone nor will I do business with them in the future. They are claiming money is owed, however I cancelled before the next billing cycle. No money is owed to them at all. Never Again!

Money scam
September 20, 2024

I bought a Zumba course and was automatically added to the ZIN membership, it is free for the first month, and then suddenly they write off money ($40). I wanted to cancel the membership, but I couldn't, because they sent me an invoice for the next month (although I was only due for payment the next day). It turns out that you have to cancel before the beginning of the next month and it was supposedly written in the contract, which no one reads. In general, to be honest, it's a complete scam.

I wait on the phone for 27mins just he can hang up on me and hat a joke of a person! It's ridiculous the disrespect is real! I didn't even get his name so how am I supposed to fix my problem when they hang up on you?! Ima have call back again? And wait another 27mins savages! If it were up to me I will never buy or order from Zumba just for this reason! You lucky I buy the stuff for my wife! Terrible service! Worse customer service!

Please don't book on this course, I know you think you're getting a good deal but you will be charged almost £40 a month straight away and it's been so stressful to try to cancel, the contact centre don't reply to emails and you're given the run around on the phone by egging told they're waiting to hear from other departments. It all just seems like a big scam and the only way they're making their money is taking advantage of people innocently signing up. I would give zero stars if possible!

I was extremely disappointed with my experience with Zumba. Not only they do not offer the option to cancel membership online, but when I tried to call and cancel, I was put on hold for hours. It felt like they were purposely making it difficult for me to cancel and trying to scam me out of my money. They added an additional month beyond the 6 months I agreed. The person I called pretended he left to speak to someone but heard him breathe the entire time, I would not recommend this company to anyone.They can revoke the certificate but they cannot take away the skill. One star is too much.

Scam artists!
September 6, 2022

This company is an absolute joke. Refuse to let me speak to a manager. Make me pay in full for a course then do not give me access to a course! Try to scam me for extra subscription that isn't needed. Take random amounts out of your bank on different days! Won't resolve anything just tries to scam into more money!

THE WORST!
January 18, 2023

The only option is to call them which I find very dodgy. I arranged a time and date for a call back explaining to them I'm in the military on a deployment operation and I can't keep paying out for this while out of area.
They claimed they've tried calling me multiple times, only to find out they called using the wrong number. And never got a call back after correcting them.

They try to convince you to take the "zin" which is another word for ripoff you have to pay 40 something dollars every month to keep your cert. Active otherwise it expired in 6 months. This is ridiculous no wonder beto is a millionaire.

Once I officially cancelled they continued to take the money off my bank account. I wrote numerous emails and all i got was bot messages back saying "You didn't confirm your request for cancellation" although I did, and once I sent them my PREVIOUS emails, they ignored the actual issue and only then approved my request for cancellation. I never got my money back. Incredibly bad, rude and not helpful service

Do not purchase sale items from zumbashop.ca. Apparently there are absolutely no exchanges or returns for sale items even if it's defective. I am now stuck with a pair of cargo pant's that were sized incorrectly and why off from the site size chart provided for consumers so that they can select their sizing. Note that even under normal purchase circumstances this site will not provide exchanges, you must return the item at your expense whereby you will be refunded only on regular priced items but you will still incur the original shipping fees. Domestic shipping fees are highly inflated and slow.

Worst ever experiance
March 12, 2022

First they trick to become ZIN member on the B1 training ZES 's have a good way of sealing the product a was imprest. And you are pretty much on you own after train ing, some are lucky get hired straightaway by gyms, if you need to cancel membership either because of lack of interest or in my case die to foot injuries, it's HELL! First call drops, them the operators are busy or some crap excuses, it took me a moth to cancel it because I could not teach anymore, Biggest scam on the planet.

I find it unacceptable that they don't have an online option to cancel, mainly due to when you call the number that is given specifically for cancellation, they leave the cancellation option for last (dial 9) & HAVE YOU ON HOLD FOREVER. How many people are actually cancelling that im on hold for this long? Absolutely ridiculous. I've been calling for days all have me waiting for over 45 minutes and never once getting a person. Plus consistently saying you can leave a VM when they will def not call you back. Its a scam because they purposely make it extremely difficult & discouraging to cancel but then you keep getting hit with the bill. The only way to maintain the license is by paying monthly which is is not a good business model for the consumer (deff for business though) they know most people wont stick with it. If you need help starting to lose weight and still want to dance i would suggest just finding zumba videos on youtube and creating your own playlist. Just try a few of those before giving money to become an instructor. I've never experienced such a difficult time cancelling a subscription.

Update on my dan whiston bad experience
June 7, 2021
Updated review

As I said previously I used to attend dancing on ice star Dan whistons zumba classes in blackpool till his behaviour towards changed for the worse. Since then he instructed his solicitors to contact me over my reviews and blog post about how I was treated. Dan whiston has now backed down as he knows I am telling the truth and can't prove otherwise. I did offer to sort this out like adults which was rejected. I have had a nightmare and will not be bullied into removing anything I have posted, I have a right to tell people how I was treated and can now have a sigh of relief now I am being left alone. I will never trust a z lister again. Just a shame I had to learn the hard way. I would not like anyone to go through what I've been through and would never recommend his classes.

Date of experience: June 7, 2021

Until recently I had been attending dan whistons Zumba class in Blackpool lancs uk. I had really enjoyed his classes till this year when his behaviour towards me started being unprofessional and inappropriate. I wrote him a letter telling him I wasn't happy and he humiliated me on social media I was devastated. I had travelled 200 miles to attend his classes.As a licensed Zumba instructor his behaviour is very unprofessional and inappropriate, he should have more respect for his students. I would not recommend anyone to attend his class.

I wish I had read these reviews before placing an order. Other reviewers are correct; Zumba has no service. I ordered a gift card for my friend's birthday. Zumba sat on the order for 6 days before processing and mailing it and now I have no timely gift for my friend. They had no good explanation either. Now I am stuck with a useless gift bard.

Zumba is one of the worse company on handling refunds. First they don't want to even talk with you until after 30 days of when they received items. I have been working with them for over a month of several refunds. All they keep saying is "we are looking into this issue". I have asked to speak to a supervisor. Response is supervisor is unavailable and will call you. LOL - never got a call. After 5 or 6 phone calls, I finally get an email about my refunds. One order they said that I didn't return an item. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT ALL THE ITEMS I SAID I AM RETURNING WERE RETURNED. The other refund order I was only given a refund for one item vs 9. Strangely they gave me a refund for one item for a return order that wasn't even delivered to them until three days later. I am owed over $400. I have been a Zumba Instructor for 12 years and this is how they treat their instructors.

SHAME ON YOU ZUMBA.

Zin membership
March 21, 2023

I got an in person zumba instructor certificate during the pandemic. I recently signed up for their $1 training, which states after a month they will start charging you for Zin. More than a week before my payment date they charged my card $43.94. Then tell you you can only cancel by phone. I spent over an hour on the phone, mostly on hold, 1st they told me I could wait on hold for hours or wait 2-3 business days for a call back. WTF! I told her to put me on the list for a call back but also on hold, after an hour and speaking with Vicky, then Ina, then another Vicky(which is hard to believe) I think the 1st two people were the same person, just changing their name. They told me they can refund me the $1, but not the $43, even though it was charged that day, and a month is not up from my payment date. They told me to email this(the email they sent to me) back to them for proof at *******@Zumba.com

They are just scamming money out of people, she told me if I complete the training I will be signed back up for Zin membership. What a scam! They put you on hold forever, say they can't help you, there is no way to cancel on their site.

People should start making Beto accountable!

I simply wanted to return two gift items. The website says to enter your order number but the receipt mysteriously was missing last number son I called customer service who said that all items in summer sale were final yet one item is still on the web site same price.
The website never said NO RETURNS on the order page. I would NEVER buy anything ZUMBA based on this poor experience. They refused to give out their names and refused my refund. NEVER use Zumba.com
