I'm tired of those $19 a month ads in my mailbox virtually every other day, that mislead people with the line misquoted from the newspaper saying dollar for dollar the best gym in town, or something like that. They were NOT talking about the Danforth location in the review. The pictures in the flyer are of a nice pristine gym, this is NOT the Danforth location, and that place is basically just a dump now! Yet the ad is specifically for the Danforth location. If that isn't false, it certainly is very misleading, at the very least. Man I'm pissed off now.

Welcome to Advertising Standards Canada (ASC), the Canadian advertising industry self-regulatory body.
ASC is committed to fostering consumer confidence in advertising through responsible industry self-regulation.
Fundamental to our efforts is the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards (Code). The Code sets the standards for acceptable advertising and helps ensure that the ads you see and hear are truthful, fair and accurate.
We invite you to explore our website to learn more about the Code and the consumer complaints process. |
I for one believe that these ads are false and misleading. They picture a gym that looks great, but it certainly is NOT the Danforth location, and misquote the Post article, but the ad is specifically for the Danforth Extreme location. Send in your complaints!! |
