LA Fitness

I love the atmosphere, the sauna here, and the hours but the bathroom and locker rooms could be cleaner and the equipment could be updated. I go to this gym over the other Bally's in the area but if their was a newer gym in my area with a similar atmosphere I would probably switch gyms. Pros: Close by Cons: Older equipment more

I was very pleased with the Bally facility and found the staff, once I was a member, to be friendly and competent. HOWEVER getting out of my STUDENT MEMBERSHIP turned into an unwanted fiasco. Be careful of the fine print and addendums to the contract that you sign. The 3 month membership I had was cancelled after 3 months, but I was automatically enrolled in a month-by-month member at $39/month. I fault myself for not finding this in the contract that I signed, but am upset with Bally for using confusing language and for not being upfront about this at the time of signing. I will personally never use Bally again because of this and because the ""customer service"" I received was not satisfactory. I hope that others have better experiences with Ballys than I did because I understand how important exercise is; it is a shame that in order to work out we have to worry about being deceived by our gyms. Pros: Nice facility, one free consult with a trainer Cons: Unwanted attention from male members, the contracts that have to be signed more

I joined Bally's Cheltenham location earlier this year and wasn't very happy with that location. So I went to the Willow Grove location and enjoyed my time there so far. I am happy with the results I got from my Personal Training, though beware, some of them are pushy. However, the trainer (Dennis) I worked with was recommended to me by another member. The good thing about the sessions I had wasn't just the fact that he helped me get the muscle tone that I wanted; I also learned Karate and Self- Defense from him. So for me, I got two services for the price of one. He also gave me free water for my workouts. For anyone considering using a Trainer, I would suggest you ask about the Trainer's background, and what they offer to a member before you buy any sessions. Pros: Indoor Track, Racquet Ball, Sauna Cons: Pool looks dingy, Pushy sales reps, Holiday Hours more
