#StayFit Bangalore - Useless service!

2015-12-15T08:16:00.000-06:00

Useless service I've received ever:

I bought StatyFit treadmill i6 model by 2012. Unfortunately I didn't use my 2 free service and no reminder call also from stayfit. When I enquire about the free service after 1 year, I got a message that there is no service technician available in my area. Then why did you sell your product in my area?

It was working fine for the last 3 years without any service. I got a call from StayFit last month for AMC. Technician came and they took the 3000 Rs for AMC and they did free service (cleaning) also. After the service, the treadmill is not working. It is getting switched off automatically after 2 to 3 seconds. Only #stayfit can create such troubles to their customers.

I haven't received the AMC receipt until now. When I reached out to customer care, I was told that it would take at least 15 days to get the AMC. But now it is more than 20 days and I haven't received the AMC receipt yet.

Please do not use StayFit products. Once they sold their products, then they will not care about you.

Want to learn Ruby - Try Ruby is the best web application for you..

2012-05-16T05:23:00.000-05:00

What is Ruby

Ruby is a language of careful balance. Its creator, Yukihiro “matz” Matsumoto, blended parts of his favorite languages (Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, and Lisp) to form a new language that balanced functional programming with imperative programming.

He has often said that he is “trying to make Ruby natural, not simple,” in a way that mirrors life.

Building on this, he adds:

Ruby is simple in appearance, but is very complex inside, just like our human body.

Try Ruby

Want to learn to program in Ruby without installing it on your computer or learning how to use cryptic commands? Try Ruby! gives you an interactive Ruby prompt right in your browser that you can use to learn the basics of Ruby programming. Combine this with the free online eBook Learn to Program, and you’ll be coding away in no time! Best of all, it’s now been upgraded with the new Code School site, which offers advanced lessons in programming with integrated online IDEs that make it easier to learn how to code online.
