The Brentwood TN office is closing. The counselor told me the closings were only in the Nashville region. That seems to contradict what I’m reading on this and other websites.

I live in Colorado and from what I have been told all the centers in the state will be closed by the end of August I signed up for something called LA to go where supposedly someone from corporate will call me 3 times a week and I can pay for product and they will ship it to me free of charge.. I am beginning to wonder about that after reading all the posts. This is a real bummer as it was really working for me

Alicia–
I am going through a very similar situation that you went through with getting a refund. No one will return my calls and I keep getting the run around from the members of management at the center. It is like they have been told to lie to the clients. I am in the Knoxville, Tn area and I really don’t think that there is such a place as “corporate” in Nashville, what kind of coprporate office doesn’t have a receptionist? The manager at the center told me that they are under new ownership and “we didn’t even get our last pay checks” . I am assuming that their previous owner has sold the centers in this area If you are a current member…get out while the getting is good!!!!

They are also closing centers in Reno Nevada and Sparks Nevada. Hmmm….Maybe there are lot more closing than we know. I just know about the ones here in my region. They shut down 8 LA Weight Loss Centers in Las Vegas earlier this year. So this is 10 in this state that have folded without refunding money to clients.

My understanding is that Barry Goodman owns 100 centers and has a regional franchise office out of Brentwood, TN. Word on the street is that he is having major financial hardships and is planning on closing all of his centers in the next few months. His centers currently have very little product in them. This will affect the following areas: Jackson, TN-Nashville, TN, Knoxville, TN-Chatanooga, TN, All of Southern Florida, Parts of Kentucky. If you are a client of one of these centers, get your products now!
