The new year is an all about setting healthy goals, creating new habits, and getting fit! Well for the followers and fans of Brittany Dawn may have come up short. Recently the Dallas Fitness Influencer Brittany Dawn has been under heat for allegedly being accused of scamming clients. Dawn started her fitness journey in 2012 soon after she started coaching others. Her journey was nothing less than inspiring. According to her website (which is aesthetically pleasing I might add), she offers meal and workout plans, that include weekly check-in and online support from the influencer these services cost up to $300. Recently people have been reaching out and saying that they were getting the services they paid for. Here are a few comments from clients on the Better Business Bureau:

04/23/2018

I didn't receive what I paid for by any stretch of the imagination. I want a refund and to get the word out. Over the duration of XXXX-XXXX, I purchased three online plans from Brittany. The first was a month long training plan advertised as individualized, when in reality it was the same exact plan every consumer receives.

In addition, the plan included weekly check ins to ask questions, receive guidance, and adjust macronutrients with the promise of a three day turn around. Not only were the responses from her well beyond the promised time frame, they also didn't bother to answer any questions or address any of my concerns.

They were generic responses, like "doing great, keep going girl!" and the like. Questions were not even acknowledged nor responded to. So, with the hope that the first plan was a fluke, that there was a valid excuse, and the desperate desire for results in a time of eating disorders on my part (which she marketed too, by the way, but covered herself by making consumers check a box that you didn't have them), I went on to purchase more plans. I purchased two challenges that run under the same format as specified above but with the incentive of a prize at the end if you "win."

I entered a challenge hoping to just recoup lost money and busted it to lose the weight and perform the best, disregarding the lack of responses and the like. And I did win! However, the $500 prize that was advertised never came. She said that instead she'd decided to change it to the equal value in merchandise and a plan. Lucky me, a few more months of less than adequate coaching with a few t-shirts to provide her advertisement.

As a member of the exclusive Facebook group for members who paid for plans, I consistently saw positive feedback that led me to believe I was expecting too much or a minority in the way I felt. However, in the light of day, it's been exposed that she deletes anything that expresses concern or doubt, never bothering to even respond to it. It's also been exposed that I'm far from a minority and it's time to speak up to save others the loss of their hard earned money for the fraudulent business that Brittany runs. It's time the truth be known. It's rather convenient to advertise no refunds; you don't depend on a repeat customer so it's easy to take the money and run, while marketing to those who know nothing of your faulty business practices that you continually hide.

Here's another: 04/05/2018

I have not received my fitness package I purchased 216 hours ago on, it said it would take 96 hours, we're 120 over. I paid ******** Dawn fitness $185 on 3/26/2018, I bought the 60-day bridal package and it said I would hear back within 96 hours we'll it's 4/4/2018 now I have yet to receive anything.

I have emailed, written on a chat that pops on her website and contacted her through Facebook and I still haven't received anything. I would like a full refund of $185 due to the fact it's false advertisement. I have proof I have tried to reach out and when I bought my package. I want to work with a trainer whom I know takes their customers serious not makes them wait days upon days to either hear back or deliver what they bought.

My opinion on this situation is I don't necessarily think she purposely was trying to scam her clients.I do think she has gotten in over her head which is good and bad. Good because obviously, her marketing tactics are amazing but bad because she can't deliver the quality of service she's advertising.

I think she needs to either quickly deliver what her clients want or refund them their money immediately. I myself am on a fitness journey and it really takes guts and accountable to commit to changing your lifestyle. So I definitely understand how the clients feel not getting the service they expected. On the business side, this could really tarnish her reputation if she doesn't get a grip on the situation. To the clients, I say stay local "online fitness" is difficult and there isn't a lot of accountability.

She has since made an open apology on her YouTube channel: Brittany Dawn Apology

After watching the video I don't feel the apology was very genuine.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
