Bally Totol Fitness SUcks

I went to Bally Total Fitness center in Socal today on the 2 weeks guest pass. After showing me around the gymn and all that stuff, they sat me down and told me about their special deal. So, i kept on listening and in the end I said NO, i just want only 2 free weeks to check and compare with other gymns. Then another dude came in and started to force me to join. He was under the impression that I am only doing this to get into as many gymn for free as I can. I am not and I told him that. Then he told me that the 2 weeks isn't gonna help u reach your goal that's why you gotta join now. Then he kept going and going for 10 minutes then gave up and just let me go use the gymn. I think i am gonna check out 24hour fitness and join them instead.

BTW their equipments aren't that good. Some of the equipments were broken and the floor is litter with trash.

Congrats on your first post ever. Now I'm gonna be the first to tell you that nobody gives a sht!






j/k

Have a :beer: and welcome to AT!
 
Welcome aboard!

But most Bally's I've seen are major meat markets, so you the workout equipment isn't the only thing you get there.
 
Bally's does suck. I don't wanna get into how much they suck... but if you're a straight male looking to get any sort of big, then bally's isn't for you.
 
24hour Fitness isn't much better. The one I went to in Northridge CA was a complete joke when it came to the free weight area.

See if you can find a good Gold's Gym near you. Gold's has franchise standards about the free weight areas of their owner's gyms.

Yea right. California Fitness is the same. Went in to try it for two weeks and got the used car salesman act. They wanted me to sign stuff BEFORE I was even looked around. They wanted my phone number and I kept telling him no "..we have to have it...no...but we have to have it..no..we need it...ok ok but you might as well put down random numbers because thats what I'll be doing"

Then came the signup fee, administration fee, the spandex repair fee... Then he drops one of the fees down and says "its for me only and today only" then proceeded to look over his sholder and tell his butt buddy that " I'm giving this gentleman this super dupper deal" His butt buddy does his best *I'm so amazed that your giving a super super deal away* look. It was so funny I actually laughed at him and asked if he practiced it.

I then went to World Gym. "how much per month through work account?" "$24 a month" "Thats everything? No other fees?" "yeap"

Tons more and better equipment and cheaper.

I miss my Gold's. Sure the machines were old as crap, they had like 20 cardio machines total and the refused to run the AC for some reason (or so it seemed). But it has been replaced with a Fitness 19.....all new equipment, and a ton of cardio, for the lowest price around....that means it's a place where the old people and the noobs come and refuse to rack weights, get in your way, steal your machines, act stupid....and only 1 set of dumbells....1 friggin set. Glad I got locked in at $12 per month

Wow I just told you all of bunch of stuff that not a single one of your really cares about, what a waste of my time, yet I continue to type....
 
i signed up for the LA fitness on La Cienege in LA... it's awesome.. the staff is friendly and let me try the gym for 1 week no hassle... I signed up about a month ago and really like it there. Only problem is it isnt 24 hours... for those times i feel like going to work out at 2am hehe, but the hours are reasonable otherwise. 😀

Ninja's don't have to work out.

 
God damnit! I just realized Bally's has been charging me since I quit this summer. They owe me $108! Words cannot describe how pissed I am because this not the first time they f*cked with me like this. When I get a hold of someone on the phone tomorrow... I swear to god i'm getting my money back, then ripping the f*ckers a new one.
