Bally Gym
Wednesday was the first day of my free 2 week Bally Fitness pass, the first day was alright, I noticed a few things I did not like about Bally.
1. There was no variety with the people there, everyone was pretty small.
2. The ellipticals are right under the tv's- so you have to strain your neck to watch while on that machine.
3. There was a bunch of tv's with all the channels the same 3 channels, 2 news, 1 sports.
4. They are all SALES people, they just want to make a sale, and pretend to actually want to help. Both days they kept me in they office for an hour talking about 'deals' to get me signed up now.
5. The classes are in a glass room where everyone watches you (like a fish bowl)
Now yesterday I had a free personal trainer appointment, did he ever ask what I want? What I like? What I want to achieve at the gym?
Nope.
He only wanted to do his regular routine, which was too hard for me, we bickered at each other the entire time. I let him know my goal is to look forward to going to the gym, and to start slow. I had to make him show me machines because he only wanted to do free weights, lunges, squats etc.
Now because of this trainer I'm not going back to finish my 2 week pass, and I will never pay to be a member of Bally Gym. :-)
(Another little addition, is while I was there a lady came in to complain that she quit the gym 2 months ago and is still getting charged-funny since I read bad reviews online about this happening)
