One of the gyms I belong to near my work just got taken over by Bally's. It sucks. They have the worst attitude in there. the people who work there don't know shit, and yet they act like they're pros. And their policies suck too.
I want to leave, but I have a couple of people that I train who go there.
Bally's is a rip off.the Powerhouse near me may be a lot more intimidating to a newbie, but you'll typically learn a hell of a lot more from the hardcore lifters in there.
