FULL STORY: I love Bally Total Fitness, been there for 3 years, but I cancelled my membership tonight.. because...the location Ive been going to for about a year and a half now.. is getting worse basically.. When we moved, I was all psyched cause theres a Bally's near my house, but its not nearly as well maintained as the original one I went to.. the equipment squeaks, is not clean, is shoddy, the maintenance they do on the equipment is halfassed.. etc.. and it seems every time I go there, yet another piece of cardio equipment squeaks.. I already wrote an email in a month or so ago to complain.. they say they never got it.. and I also told the manager of the club, and he just didnt really seem to be moved by it... so.. whatever.. I take my money elsewhere..

So my choices now are..

Golds (when it opens, dont know when that will be though, emailed them tonight to find out more info..)

LA Fitness

24 Hour Fitness

and well those are my choices... but the thing is, I dont wanna pay all these start up costs and stuff.. with Bally, I walked in and said, look Im not paying a start up fee, and threatened to walk out if they couldnt do it....well, I ended up not having a start up fee.. I plan on doing the same with these clubs but would appreciate any insight or info or suggestions.. THANKS!!!
