Anyone a member of Spectrum Club?

[MazerRackham]

So I am thinking of joining up with Spectrum Clubs, specifically the one in South Bay (El Segundo). Just took a tour and the place is absolutely amazing. Two indoor basketball courts (one of which the Clippers practice at sometimes), 25m pool, insane locker room with plasma/LCD TVs everywhere, globs of treadmills/ellipticals/steppers, lots of free weights, and probably the best collection of ULTRA HOT women I've seen in a while.

All for only $99/month!!! If I pay up front for a year, I get 15 months, which makes it $80/month for the 15. Otherwise it's month-to-month for $99.

Does anyone on this board work out there? If you do, mind posting what you pay per month? I think it's mostly worth the $99, but I am going to check out Bally's and 24 Hour Fitness this week.

I'm 32 years old, not getting in any better shape, and if I don't do something now I'm going to die within the next 20 years. Or if I don't die, I'll be crapping into a bag and have an O2 mask on.

EDIT: I should point out that those prices include membership to ALL locations. I work near the South Bay location, but live right near the Howard Hughes location. The South Bay location has the indoor bball, so I'd most likely go there the most.

FWIW, my mom just joined a San Antonio location. The last time I talked to her she told me she really likes it.

$99/month for a gym, sounds like a lot! hopefully they don't hit you up for any initiation fees also..

Well, supposedly they want $199 to start, but I'm getting a corp discount of sorts. No initiation fee, and it's usually $109/month.

So, minor discounts, but the club might still be worth it... I need to find the standard rates for Bally's, 24 Hour, LA Fitness, etc.

Ok, bump for an old thread...

Is it the Spectrum on Bandera? I heard the new Gold's across the highway is incredible - I've been meaning to go by there and check it out...my coworker just joined and said the amenities are very nice - lots of room, new machines, a 'video/movie' cardio room, etc....

I guess it depends on what you want. What exactly do you want?
