Was really very pissed by True Yoga's hardselling techniques yesterday near my office yesterday.
Recently has been getting calls from them asking me to come down for a free week's trail, blah blah blah.. Tot of maybe just giving it a try since it is quite near my office and my Cali pass is expiring soon, and also to stop them from keep on asking me to go down again and again.
Appointment at 6.30pm. I was there on time. Looked for the person Lorraine. True enough, she wasn't there think she was just one of the telemarketeers that they engage to pull people in.
Saw this consultant approaching.... Then I tot, omg isn't he the same same guy whom I met with Jas at Pac Plaza a few years ago? What a coincidence! Yes, and I remembered.. We went for some Yoga Combat class back then. I was praying hard that he couldn't recognise me esp when he meets different people very day. But after a while he did asked if I have any sister with True Yoga as he finds me unseemingly familiar but cant recall where has he seen me. Of cos, I just anyhow smoked my way through..
He was quite professional initially.. Introducing me the various type of yogas that they can offer, the types for beginners etc, and also toured around the gym with me.
A personal trainer was there to take my fat content and stuff. I was shocked when he told me that my fat content was very high(in fact on the obesity side), and muscle content very low. Cant imagine that I am termed "obese" in the eyes of them. Added that it is actually very dangerous as my fats cant be seen on the outside in the sense that I am not aware that I am "fat". This means that fats may be surrounding my organs, which makes me unhealthy and also difficult for me to lose the fats since they are rather invisible.
After that, came the crucial part. We went down to the couselling area whereby the consultant went about introducing me the various prices and packages. Super ex lor, compared to Cali. I told him directly that I need time to consider(or at least after my membership ends) blah blah blah and that at the moment since I am now with Cali.... Regretted even stepping in the first place. Hai~~
Started smsing when he went in the office to take out some stuff and I started smsing Zelos and Jas.. When he returned, he hinted I am very busy issit, keep smsing friends.. I faked that I have an appointment and is running late. Guess what he says..."Is your health more important or your friends?" "Yoga helps you to look younger, and you dun seem to be in your tip-top condition at your current age." Isn't he trying to be sarcastic or trying to say I look older than my age? Kept on insisting that I have to go. Heck. Lastly before I go off, he asked me to give him contacts of at least 20 friends, if not 10 friends for him to follow up. I really pissed man, anyhow gave him 5 contacts and told him that I have no more friends. Din even take the trial pass from him. Literally forced me to go for lessons on selected dates, just "agreed" to go. But, I definitely won't turn up. Had a few missed calls from True Yoga, but I just ignored. Trauma even now.
Ejenna.
