Cheating about non refund of Money
I went to Preeti Slim Fitness Centre at Dattadham Bldg, Near Datta Mandir, Dhahanukar Wadi, Mahavir Nagar, Kandivali (W), and Mumbai on 3rd June 2009. Due to the aggressive advertising strategy of Preeti Slim in my locality and even in the leading News Paper like Mid Day, Times of India and Hindustan Times, I became very much desperate to join the sliming centre for reducing my weight faster.
On 3rd of June 2009, Asst Manager of the centre took my BMI and offered me 20Kg reduction plan with the one time cost of 25000/- & treatment would be given until I lose this weight. I was also told that I would get all assistance from Dietician & other panel members in achieving this & I may have to come 2-3 times a week for 90 minutes.
Due to the monetary constraint I opted for 10Kg reduction plan & paid Rs 12500/- upfront on the same day vide ICICI debit card. That day only one treatment of vibrator for 20min was given. My measurement was then taken on that day & I could not meet a dietician on that day. My next session was fixed on 8th June 2009 at 7.30 & I got a treatment in two sessions with vibrator and Heat Therapy. My weight was taken before the treatment & after the treatment. That Time Ms Gouri, Dietician gave me one form & told me that I have to meet Psychiatrist, Physician & then my video shooting will be done for recording the figure appearance. Then I was told that I have to come empty stomach or with very light meal in the afternoon without any food at least 2 hour before the session. Ms Gouri, Dietician, did mention that I have to follow a diet which will be given to me in the next round of session & then I have to maintain my weight subsequently. I was not aware still that if I do not able to maintain the weight which was taken after the last session then I would be deprived from taking the treatment next time. I would have to go home without session. I learned this fact when I had visited on 3rd time on 11th June 2009. After the session when I came to know about policy of Preeti Slim to get rid of Obese People after taking out their money by not allowing them for the treatment if they do not maintain the previous weight.
All the rules & regulations of Preeti Slim are still not known to me. After learning this fact I immediately decided there & there that I expressed that since I was not knowing all the rules & regulation which are basically made to cheat the people & never been told to the consumer before taking admission to the centre, I want to discontinue and I requested the Asst Manager Ms Rupali to refund of balance amount after reducing the legitimate changes of the 2 sessions. I was told that time that I would be intimated about the same on 12th June. After calling of 2-3 times Ms Rupali, Asst Manager spoke to me & then the Sr Manager Ms Khan spoke to me & told me that no amount would be refunded and I have to follow the rules & regulation.
My question is still unanswered by them that why these rules & regulations have not been told to me at time of full payment of Rs 12, 500/- and why Preeti Slim refrain the consumer from taking treatment if he/she does not maintain the weight taken in the previous session. Such type of trade practice is not in the interest of the consumers & infringed the rights of consumer. I am still ready to fight for money and urge to all the regulators to stop this practice of Preeti Slim Clinic immediately and help me in getting the refund of legitimate amount as I have a fear that many people have lost their money & fooled by Preeti Slim.

I agree with the lady Pretti Slim is fooling people...Dr naik is an incompetent guy who has fleeced monies from several guillible people and the consumer forum should take action against such ill-practicing clinics...

I totally disagreesince even im a member at ban dra branch...
Infact you should have taken a package session based fool if thats ur problem rather than going for 10kg pkg...
and for example If children at school dont go wid updated homework then obviously teacher will not go forward wid studies,
How stupid can ppl be????
And so you mean to say since u joined for 10 kgs & supposedly u lost 2kgs in 2 weeks & then u eat loads of food n cum wid 5kgs more no slimming centre wil give u session dumb!!!

I fully agree that prettislim is fooling people. I was in heating room. I got burnt due to excess heat and I called by giving so many bell calls. Nobody attended me... at kandivali centre.They apologised that they do not have sufficient staff!!!
I had made a written complaint to them and
I wrote a letter to refund my money.They said that they will revert in some time. Neither they reverted back nor any kind of refund!!!
For appointment also you have to try your luck!!! Many of times they do not have staff.. Many times it is full.. No appointments are given due to mis-management.
Why can not they appointment when we are there at their centre. why we need to call them on phone only????
I request if somebody can get me refund from this people.
I am sure it is a misguiding business. As I have paid money and they do not refund I am continuing at kandivali dahanukarwadi centre.

Hi All,
I totally disagree with the above.
Even i am a client of Pretislim from July 2011 and i m pretty satisfied with the staff and the management i get appointments regularly by calling them up and i have never faced any problems with them. My dietician Yasmin is awesome even if i gain weight she tries and gives me a good diet to loss weight and i have lost 7 kgs in 5 months and even i eat out more than 4-5 times in a month and even i gain weight but the kandivali staff is not bad at all they try to arrange something for me.
If anybody has paid money go and take the sessions and reduce your weight.

Pretti Slim is a big cheat. I went there for weight loss and the marketing lady, Beena (in Bandra) fooled me into joining for skin treatment. When my skin got worse and the weight did not reduce, I asked them for a refund which of course they refused. I felt miserable and conned. They are very strong in marketing and fooling people. My advice, dont go to them. U will lose your money, not your weight! They tell u to drink water before the session and they make u pee after the session. Obviously that is water out of your system. Then they say thats weight loss!. Dont get fooled!

Hi. I was a member at preetislim bandra last year. I lost around 12 kgs in a span of 3-4 months. Let me tell you all, that i have a weight problem since childhood.I am hypothyroid & PCOD patient. I have tried many fitness centers, techniques, pills, doctors etc. I know, there is no magic bullet in this world, to make you lose weight. Any professional center can give you right guidance & support. A lot depend on us. I would not deny, prettislim for its due credit. They have a good team of professionals like doctors, dieticians, psychologists etc, to provide right support and to guide. Machine treatment are also under physiotherapists. they guide you, but you are also expected to follow some dietary changes, eat multivitamins regularly, be active physically.
If you think, that you pay money at any place and you will become slim, then it is a false belief. I got success, by keeping my motivation high. I kept a goal for myself and did not stopped before it. Believe me, if you decide to become slim, no body can stop you. Be positive & get slim. and also do not forget, to maintain, what you have lost.

i completely agree about the fact that Preeti Slim are fooling and also cheating clients BIG TIME. Firstly the dietitians are all incompetent. From the time i have joined i must have had 4 dietitians and all of them seemed to taking non sense.

This is for all people who buy into the illusion which clinics like prettislim sell to people who are want to believe that these clinics are there to help them. PLEASE NOTE THESE PEOPLE ARE HERE TO MAKE MONEY OFF YOU AND ME.
I too paid 33, 000 for 8 sessions of ulippo at prettislim. After the payment was taken by Harshida in her cabin, the dietitan after making me wait for 25 minutes took me to her cabin under the pretex of giving me a diet took my signature on a piece of paper that mentioned that I would not be refunded any money under any circumstances. Yes she gave me prints of recipes and list of foods I must stick to. At that point i was salivating for the loss of cms committed to me, so I signed without a thought. I was promised verbally that the first session would result in a loss of anywhere between 8 to 10 cms. When my first session resulted in a loss of just 6 cms I was enlightened by the staff that while they call it spot reduction, the loss will be counted as per the total of the measurement taken from 3 different areas. So evidently there is no visible loss, and i was informed that I should have maintained this loss when I come in next!!!
When I confronted Harshida about this she said she will get back about why I did not get the loss committed. When I told her that since I did not get what was promised i want my money back she put me through another person. This person tells me I will NOT get any refund under any circumstances since I had signed to that effect. When I asked for a higher up she tells me she is the higher up. Who owns prettislim? no answer. She gives me a generic email id at which I can write but no name. In fact even on their website there is no mention of the owner/s. How professional!!!
I have nobody to blame but myself for falling into their lies and the illusions they build with their advertisements and talks (most of it cleverly worded lies). If people have gotten results at prettislim, why do they need to cheat people with a nonrefundable policy.
It is fair to say that when one puts in his/her own effort one will get the results. But that was not the deal when I paid them the money. I was told that the machine will result in a certain amount of loss of fat to start with and I found out the ugly side of the story later.
Of course they will continue to sell the way they are, but all my fat brothern who are looking for a quick fix. There are other financially expensive ways, try those but don't add the woe of being cheated to your woes of fat...
Here is the irony they have a psychologist on board to help you rid the stress, it doesn't matter if they are the ones causing it.
AVOID Prettislim

The mechanism of loosing weight through these slimming centers itself is not correct. I had joined pretty slim in Oct 2009. and lost about 9 kgs ova 6 months with lot of pain as the increased weight after session was cut down by my dietician using detox diet. In those six months life was full of detox and detox and detox... and later when it came to maintaing weight without pretty slim... it was just so impossible to maintain it without following detox atleast twice a week.. and diet without inclusion of rice or not more than 5 chapatis a day... and dis resulted in excessive weight gain after leaving pretty slim... slimming centers are definately not an option to loose weight..
yeah and it is fuking impossible to maintain 200-300 grams u loose after every session as that iz just temporary loss which happens as u sweat a lot after heat session... n next session if there iz gain in weight den hell yah "DETOX"

All those talking positive about this Fool Making Center are either employees or fake IDs - I undertook 8 sessions of laser treatment for my chin hair as the consultant at your Kandivali center Ms. Neha was very convincing. To the point that she told me she herself had done it and asked me to touch her skin to see the results. Even after completing all my sessions and following the procedure on medication, my growth has now infact got worst then before. On informing the consultant (neha was not available) she told me she will speak to her Mgr on the same. But reverted by saying I need to take additional 6-8 sessions. the team is extremely incompetent and undertrained.

hi,
My name is rajul shah. I have joined prettyslim kandiwali for u lipo treatment. Amazing result. I lost 42 cm from my tummy in just 8 sessions. u lipo has worked wonders on me. i did gym, yoga, walks everything to get my pre pregnancy figure. But no luck. only U lipo helped me achieve my dream figure again. Plus there is no pain, no burns, no sideeffects. Dr priya gave this treatment to me in prettislim. Doctors are good in their work. i want to thank my dietitian chandni for her continous support and guidance. Dr doshi also diagnosed my hypothyroid and treated the same.
I started using pedometer after prettislim recommended me. Now i know how active i am through out the day. i also check my wt every week in personal scale. it helps in maintaining wt.
thanks to prettislim. It is slightly expensive than other slimming centers but it is worth it. i recommend it to my friends.
