Working with Robert Ewing through Robbins Research has been an incredible experience! He has a great way of really listening, getting to the heart of what’s going on quickly, and helping me find clarity and direction aligned with my goals and values. He brings a genuine warmth and care to each session, making the process feel comfortable and real and I leave our sessions with practical next steps when applicable. I’m truly grateful for the value I've received and the impact this coaching has had.
SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! I also paid $1 for a free seminar and was then charged $40/month. This is obviously how he makes all his 'money' by scamming people. I'm disgusted. PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP TO ANYTHING AND MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE!!
I was SCAMMED!!! I paid $1 for a “free seminar” only to be charged $40/month completely unauthorized!!! These people are sick twisted CON ARTISTS and SCAMMERS!!! They stole from me! They will steal from you too! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
Robert is a terrible coach. I do not reccomend him. I worked with him for 1 year and was in worse place that when I started. He never reaches out or bother to follow up. All my experiences with him have been purely transactional - very cold and two faced person.
Don't do this!!!! They won't et you cancel. I have sent email after email. I have never open or created an account but they keep taking my money even though I requested to cancel. Tony robbins is a rip off and a scam Artist!!!!!! Who gets rich by stealing people money. Then not returning it 😒 I'm on a limited income I can't afford this,I'm going with out food because of it while he eats like a king SHAME ON YOU SIR!!!!!
Don’t keep paying for therapy. This man is the real deal. After 20 years ‘circling the drain’ he changed my life. And that was the start. What a wonderful big hearted man. And if you think you are being pulled into another financial drain you are not. Want some power and autonomy? You found the right place, investment or not ?and I had nothing to invest at the time) These are good people.. want to have a life? Go for it. If the AA founders pioneered the 20th century, Tony pioneers this one.
No idea how i got subscribed to tony tobbins but they arent responding to my emails and taking 40 usd, and i have no idea for what! I want refund for my money from this scam.
BEWARE Enrol you into free trials then charge automatic renewal payments
Participated in Time To Rise Summit in February. I paid for an upgrade to make the best of the Summit. What I missed was the free trial (that I didn't want and didn't approve directly). I was automatically signed up this free trial then subsequently charged an automatic monthly renewal. This company found a way to sneakily bypass the illegality of automatic renewals. Very disappointing for a company that supposedly wants to empower people.
I am a fan of Tony, his team and the work they do but I'm disappointed with the lack of transparency around the $1 AI summit charge that is a hidden subscription. I've just realised two months later! Very disappointed. I wholeheartedly support the philanthropic work of TR but saddened by the use stealth subscriptions. Team TR rethink your partners and your methods of subscription please! I'd have given negative stars for this but that isn't an option.
My year of coaching with Robert was… worth more than every penny-lifelong growth!!
My year of coaching with Robert was truly phenomenal! I grew so much as a business person and a human being through the practical strategies he shared, fun thinking exercises, and assignments that kept me pushing forward in a positive way. I will always be grateful for this valuable experience and look forward to more excellent coaching in the future!
I would avoid the coaching programs and wish I had done more research. The coach assigned to me was fine, but definitely not worth $400 for a 30 min session. She had minimal insight or resources and always sounded miserable on the call. I found an amazing coach through FIVER at $50/hour. There are far better options out there. I have heard Robbins in-person events are great, so maybe that is the best path.
Be very careful - they subscribe you to the Tony Robbins AI app with no written confirmation then insist on keeping the subscription if you do not respond to the debit request within 72hrs. The app itself when I tried it previously was actually good - but for me not value for money.
I feel scammed. This looks like a subscription trap: $1 offer that quietly rolls into a $39/month charge with no clear advance notice. I cancelled right away, but my account remained stuck on “cancellation pending,” so you’re left with zero confidence that billing has stopped. Then you’re told it’s “too late” for a refund. Not transparent, not customer friendly. Avoid.
Im getting charged $54.84 every month and not receiving anything please cancel this scam and reimburse me last 2moths payment please regards mr L.Hansson
Scammy business model.
I went to a free seminar and paid the $1 for it. Tried to cancel the auto renewal for the renewal of the robbins AI. I cencelled 2 days before it auto renewed I saw it said cancellation pending, so I switched to a prepaid credit card that had $0 on it. Thankfully I did that. They attempted payments twice. I sent an email telling them to cancel the payments and gave situation. Went a few days and they tried again twice still no email response I have cancelled already but I will wait a few days before reporting to the better business beaurou. Had a gut feeling when I signed up and didn't trust it fully.
They got me in the fine print. Listened in to a webinar and was trying to get the recordings for "1 dollar". That apparently also got me a "free 30 days" of some service that after which they started auto-billing me for. I asked for a refund once I realized I was billed, but they denied it. I'm fairly certain this is a big part of their business model as they seemed they sent the same canned responses over and over.
SCAMMERS
THEY HAVE CHARGED ME FOR A SERVICE I DIDN'T REQUEST FOR.
I HAVE EMAILED THEM TO REFUND, NO RESPONSE. I GUESS THAT'S HOW THE BUSINESS IS RUN, MAKING MONEY OFF UNSUSPECTING HUMANS.
Subscription 'model' does not meet the legal requirements for GDPR UK & Privacy Policy
I paid $1 for a VIP experience. The following month Robbins Research International, I saw a monthly subscription payment of $39.00 was pending. I didn't even receive a notification of any subscription in my inbox and there was no visible copy in the body of the form or a checkbox telling me about this monthly subscription. I've paid this $1 for the past 2 years (for the VIP experience) and never had any further payments taken from my account like this. Hiding the subscription in the T&C does not meet the UK GDPR standards or privacy policy, making it potentially illegal and subject to a fine. I did request and get a refund but who knows if this was deliberate or accidental. Nonetheless I would think this business should know that GDPR regulations & privacy policies apply to any website or app that is accepting payments from EU & the UK.
Scam stay away they offered me a seminar for $1 bought it and tried to rebook me $40 dollars monthly when I cancelled my subscription they left it as cancellation pending even until now so they can keep trying to charge my card I’ve contacted support over three times no reply STAY AWAY ITS A SCAM
