TRAP! Terrible Membership Policy!! Careful 7/30/2006

This place REALLY S*CKS! First, whatEVER they tell you about their membership dues on the little sign outside the door is NOT TRUE! Like many scam artists, there's always a hidden fee, activation, fee, processing fee, etc.! Most importantly, the sales staff will lie to you about your ability to cancel your membership. Though my yearly commitment ran out, and I notified them IN WRITING that I needed to cancel my membership since I moved ACROSS THE COUNTRY, they refused to cancel, continuing to rob me for four months after I moved. They insisted that I had to notify them in person, despite the fact that I repeatedly told them that I moved across the country. In fact, they refused to even respond to phone or fax messages. The only way that I found out that my membership had not been cancelled was by calling them four WEEKS after I'd contacted them in writing. They insist that ALL communication be by REGISTERED mail, so that they can maximize the delays and maximize their ability to RIP YOU OFF! \r \r The gym is self is very average. Only three screens to look at in the cardio area, and the audio devices on the cardio machines often don't work. There's no towel service, which is ridiculous at the prices they're charging. The locker rooms, though they look clean, ALWAYS smell of old sweat and fungus. The free weight area is poorly stocked, and populated with a lot of oversized Arnold wannabes hogging the equipment. Pros: Well, they have weights Cons: Terrible staff, unreliable equipment, deceptive membership policies more
