No integrity and does not keep their promises
In April 2016 I went with MME here in Michigan and bought the quantum leap package. I was told I could get a rrefubd as long as it was within the first two weeks of the purchase. I called and spoke to Customer Care and I email them my cancellation letter and they told me that I would be refunded in May 2016 I have been calling and emailing the same refund letter to them for the last 4 1/2 months they have not return my refund and now they keep telling me there's something wrong with their boards but they do have the information saying that I was supposed to have a refund in June 2016. I spoke to Glenn and Customer Care and he promised me he would get back with me and find out the reason I haven't gotten my refund I called him twice and he is now not answering my calls they are saying that he's not the office and that has been for two weeks now. I have tried every avenue of getting my refund I have now put in a complaint with the better business bureau to try to see if they can get my money back, so my advice to you if you do not know if you are going to be able to make all of these events in all of these different states that they have them in do not buy anything from Peaks because you will never get your refund unless you go though the Better Business Bureau. New Peaks Ihave no integrity I thought they were a good company until I found out that they are happy to take your money but are not willing to give you arefund when you requested It.
Scam
This company was once owned by Harv Eker. I made a few investments in deals his company endorsed. They were real estate deals and ATM machines. We never saw the real estate properties and the ATM machines never existed. In doing my research I discovered that Eker ran a very slick deal in grey areas of investments. He had back hand deals but was never name...

I am trying to organize complaints against Peak Potentials Training, as I am also trying to get my money back. Please view my review in Yelp.com, as well as my attached letter below. Also I would encourage you all to put a review into Yelp.com as well. I see that some people who have gone through the Better Business Bureau seem to have gotten some resolution, but I suspect it is minimal compared to other possible avenues.
My letter to Peak Potentials Training sent on June 3, 2010:
I am following up on my phone conversation with a Quantum Leap customer service representative (Anita) on 5/18/10 in which I requested a refund of my purchase of the Quantum Leap package which, in conjunction with my friend, Laura G., I purchased on 5/30/09 in Salt Lake City, UT. I informed Anita I was not satisfied with the courses I had participated in so far and was requesting a refund and did not want to continue taking any courses. Anita looked up my account and informed me that, per the Peak Potentials policy, I had only 4 days after purchase to cancel and obtain a refund.
The reasons I am requesting a refund are as follows: I have attended only two trainings with Peaks Potentials Training, i.e., Enlightened Warrior Training last August 23-27, 2009, and Life Directions Intensive from January 14-16, 2010, and I got sick during BOTH trainings, and I was sick for several days thereafter. I attribute my getting sick to the schedule of staying up to or past midnight on most nights, which I feel does not support the necessity of getting a good night’s sleep, which I do not feel is healthy. I am a person who normally hardly ever gets sick. At the Enlightened Warrior Training, the yelling which is promoted throughout the program almost damaged the hearing in my left ear. While in a huddle of people during one of these many processes, I felt something in my left ear pop as one man was screaming in my ear, resulting in a ringing which did not go away for several weeks. I feel my hearing is at risk in future Peak Potential Trainings. Additionally, I have done a lot of personal growth work in my life, starting back in 1976. I was hoping in signing up for the Peak Potential trainings that I would be offered some very new and wonderful ideas and skills, which I do not feel has ended up being the case for me. I am physically fit and in excellent health. In fact, I was at one point a practicing raw foodist for 4 years. I have exposed myself to and done a lot of personal growth activities and am basically finding that what Peak Potentials is offering me is not that new or useful. I realize this may not be the case for most Peak Potentials participants, but it is the case for me.
Your customer service representative, Anita, referred to the cancellation policy on my receipt for the Quantum Leap purchase which states, “You may CANCEL this transaction at any time prior to midnight of the THIRD BUSINESS DAY after the date of this transaction.” What this means is that I spent $9, 997.50, but I had no possible opportunity to “try the service” due to the Peaks Potentials scheduling of their trainings, until after I was locked into the payment.
I know that T. Harv Eker supposedly prides himself on having integrity, but I fail to see how this policy has integrity. If becoming wealthy means you have to “trick” people out of their money, and then they have no recourse for getting it back if they are unhappy with the product or service, which was what Anita essentially told me, then that is not having integrity, and that is not how I ever want to do business with people in order to build wealth.
It should be noted that the cancellation policy, according to Anita, is inflexible. However, another policy that Peak Potentials has is that they only allow the Quantum Leap package to be purchased by family members, i.e., spouses, brothers, sisters, parents, children, and any combination thereof. However, Peak Potentials knowingly allowed Laura G. and I, who are just friends and not related, to purchase the Quantum Leap package together. Peak Potentials appears to hold to some of their policies but not others, at their whim. Peak Potentials was willing to bend their policy when they took my money but unwilling to do so when asked for a refund.
I am serious about wanting a refund and am prepared to notify the Better Business Bureau, the Nevada Consumer Affairs Division, the Federal Trade Commission, Yelp, and possibly other social media networks if necessary.
Therefore, please allow me to avoid having to use these avenues by promptly responding to my request by 6/18/10 for a full refund of $9, 997.50 for my portion of the Quantum Leap package. You may contact me at my return address above or by calling my home phone: xxx-xxx-xxxx. I am willing to return the 50 copies of the Secrets of the Millionaire Mind books I received and the iPod which has never been used, at your request. Please note that my portion of the Quantum Leap package was charged on Laura G.’s credit card, and therefore, a reversal of charges back onto her card is not appropriate. Please see my receipt, attached.
So far to date I have heard nothing from Peak Potentials Training. However, we have the avenues of social media and other possibilities to hit them where it hurts, i.e., the pocket book. Please join me in doing what you can.
Thanks.

I bought also quantum leap but from success resources and same [censor].
The programs are absolutely weak. It better to use the money in books really good personal coaches or an NPL course so you learn how to program yourself.
These are courses with the most superficial information.
Sure you learn a thing or two. It would take only a day of what they spend to hear all the info. The rest of the days is just condioning to buy more stuff. Get away from this! It’s cheaper to apply to real courses taught by real professors.
I love Har Eker's stuff. I have attended the Millionaire Mind Intensive twice and it has been life-changing. I totally disagree with the whining in the above comments. I found, as a teacher that I was fascinated with the way that the presentation was done. Absolutely fabulous, drawing on NLP and other learning systems that I have before and since seen used but not as well.
FYI the company changed hands in 2011. Harv now has online courses. So it is not the same owners.
And as for spending money and then whining that you want it all back after KNOWING the cancellation period, what in the world makes you think you are entitled to that? This is a business, not a charity.
The Millionaire Mind Intensive was FREE. I happily paid $99 to get a workbook and take home CDs, but in 3 intensely packed days, I could see exactly how I would be trained if I paid for additional training, and I loved it! I did not sign up for additional training, because I was broke. But at no point did I feel like I was being coerced and ALWAYS when they marketed to the crowd, they said: We are marketing! What does anyone expect if you go to a free event or even like those SUCCESS speaker events that ZIG ZIGLAR used to do? They're FREE. They are wonderful for the broke people like me to get started, but heck if you are as dumb as a box of rocks and think that they will not market to you I don't know WHAT to tell you. I spent a $297 a few years ago for an online course of Harv's, an 8 week program. I planned to go through it immediately but did not, just getting back to it now, and I already have received tremendous value. I think the last MMI I went to was in 2009 and the numbers were way down, it was the financial crisis era, and that showed me something too, he adapted and kept going. So, apparently before the company was sold some whiners filed suit against Peak Potentials, I just found it in the search results, saying that they had too many different prices on MMI, and claiming that there were excessive pressure tactics selling. Disgruntled whiners. Yes, $3, 000 to $5, 000 is a chunk of change. If you don't have it, don't spend it, if you can't manage yourself, if you can't be analytical when being marketed to, I do NOT get how you expect to be successful at anything. I just don't get it.
I wish I read about New Pekas being a big scam before I signed up to one of their courses. I cancelled the course the next day I signed up, but they are not replying to my request for a refund. This organization and its leadership have sadly no integrity.
I am amazed at the gullible people who continue to get lured into the Adam Markel show. This man was broke in 2010 and committed malpractice to buy Peaks. He is beyond ###. The company sells courses and then when you get to their business courses, they have 12 + people selling you more courses. Then when you get to that person's course, you get very little value and they sell you another course. Its a vacuum that will keep drawing money out of you. They use hype, advanced psychological techniques and NLP to manipulate you. Pay attention to the emotional roller coaster ride they take you on. Have the courage to question Markel. He also led several real estate scams and everyone lost their money. Contact Michele Hebert in Montreal she will tell you the truth. Markel is no different than JT Fox. They are not millionaires and they engage in extremely unethical business practices. You have been warned.
I have sought out similar sessions with purported gurus of high achievment, yet MOST all just want to overwhelm you with 100 cd pacages that will engulve your energy...and may, or may not produce the worthy results ALL of the marketer's post about...Please review the latest on the PP man: 2015

I just attended Adam's very first workshop in Australia last weekend. I have to say all the speakers were great on stage performance and keeping up energy. A lots of stuff they talk about was in all psychology text book. I have to give credit on some of the topics that did enlighten my thoughts and put me in to a self-discovery questions and answering mode. However without another feedback from previous participants it's difficult to make the judgement call of whether signing up for more courses. This website is probably the only one that i can find with reviews from them. I'm also aware that positive feedback won't end up here, you either make it marketing with each other. It's same with any other courses, they would only tell you those successful stories and comment the failed ones as not mentally prepared or any reason they could find. Which end up like you are still making a biased decision based on the information you get.
Related to Peak Potentials, I have filed a lawsuit. However, I need names and contact info: e-mail, phone number, address so that you can be contacted to share your stories. If you are willing to do so, please contact me at ggonsg1@gmail.com or [protected]. Thank you. Good luck to all of us.
If people really knew the truth behind Harv Eker and Adam Markel they would be shocked. Markel has been sued for malpractice a few times and he cleverly skirts issues because his malpractice insurance pays his legal fees and settlements. Amazing he has not been disbarred. So he enters the world of personal development to be a "guru"? Come on! Really? He scammed millions and then aligned with Eker who has also scammed millions from shady real estate deals and ATM machine scams.
Stay away from Eker and Markel - they are great actors and frauds. They are not that rich either LOL
I'm also trying to form a group for a class action lawsuit for many of the above mentioned reasons that ALL of you have posted. PLEASE contact me; I've been working with the Attorney General's office, but need more eyewitnesses to proceed forward. Thank you: ggonsg1@gmail.com I'll be willing to do all the legwork, just need your support.
I just returned from the 4 1/2 days Train The Trainer event in Los Angeles that was held Oct 2014. It was Extremely disappointing. I currently do all training for our company and have several years of training experience, so perhaps I was expecting more Advanced techniques or skills than the course is designed for.
The fact that they kept insisting that 80 or 90% of the course should be about the environment you create and only 10 or 20% should be about the Content (WHAT you are teaching) summarizes EXACTLY what you can expect to receive by attending this or any of their courses.
I found the course is really designed for those with little to no sales experience or no training experience. The 4 1/2 days to cover about 1 day of practical information was an overkill and left me an extreme sour taste in my mouth. I felt the course was spread out to justify the high cost of attending and also to give numerous opportunities for them to sell more programs to you on a daily basis. I am extremely busy and was very much looking forward to the program, but unfortunately the take away was EVERYTHING taught in the program is available in a few hundred dollars of various sales books that every professional sales person or trainer should have already bought and read through the course of professional development. No "new" information is passed on during this course/seminar although a few alterations to approaches and techniques done in a different manner...but very few at that.
The schedule is designed to make everyone tired and it appeared to me that it is so designed to increase the likelihood of up-selling the attendees each evening when you are not well rested. They state several times in the course: High Emotions equals low intelligence and watching them Sell and Close and the attendees run to buy during some good sales pitches late in the evening demonstrated the truth of that statement. So much so, it was extremely difficult not to laugh as people ran up to spend a few more thousand dollars after getting 3 hours of sleep and being "pitched" to for several hours throughout the day.
If you are an experienced trainer you will get Very Little from this. Of course, you'll pick up a few things...but the question is: are those few things worth the couple thousand dollars AND the Large Time Commitment you are going to put in. Only you can answer that for yourself. Personally, I want at least 3 of my days back!
I was originally going to go to two more courses they offered in the spring, but after seeing the "quality" of the actual content of their training and the lack of respect for their attendees valuable time...I will personally Never attend a Peaks Training Ever Again! Charles
Unethical Business Practices
I have emailed and faxed a cancelation for courses and tried to call to cancel when I didn't get a response. Tried to call but their phone lines didn't work. Some installation problem or upgrade. I finally reached Pablo or Paco but he said they would not refund my money. Honest companies may charge a small fee to cancel but they won't refund. Makes a person...

Before you shell out money for ANY courses, especially the advanced courses at Peak Potentials, you may want to confirm, in writing, that Peak Potentials will honor THEIR commitments. We've paid thousands of dollars for Peak Potential courses including the Enlightened Warrior and Wizard Training. The trainings were awesome, we made some great friends, and...
