seriously, i'm sick of changing gyms and if i had a bally's membership it would transfer... but i fucking hate the place... so... how do you like it? (i'm wondering if it's gotten better in the last 8 years or so)
 
I love it. More than sufficient for my needs. Been going there for the past five years. The women are very hot!!!
 
In my city there are two, one is being re-modelled but it's becoming more 'fitness' related all the time. They have removed a T-bar row, squat rack, power cage and two low pulley machines since I've been a member. I have a 'lifetime membership' (15 yrs) and my dues have gone up over 50% in the past three years. The quality of a Bally's will vary widely as I travelled across most of the US a few years ago and experienced very high end places and some totally crap places.

Totally agree with JavaGuru. I belong to Bally's, out here in Arizona. I had a membership back in early 90's and left after the 3-year contract expired. They finally got me back with $7/month. Would I pay $30/month for Bally's? No way.
 
Bally's fucking blows nuts!!!

I am a member of Bally Total fitness and every club hires these ghetto black people with nasty attitudes who don't care about you or care to help you.

Now I don't care how you act on the street corners in Harlem, but when you are in a place of business, you are supposed to act professional.

Last week after working out I had to take a shower at the gym because the gym is closer to my job than my apartment is. When I went to use the shower, the shower was so filthy with dirty puddles of water on the floor, thick globs of hair on the drains, soap cartons, band aids and razor blades on the shower floors. The shower area was a biohazard.

So I went to the front desk to ask the receptionist, Tysheka Jackson if she could send someone to clean the shower. Tysheka kept pointing her extremely long over-painted fingernail at me and got nasty with me and said "why da hell you be botherin' me fo'"?

I tried to explain to her that the shower was filthy but she interrupted me saying "did I mees up dat shower? Huh? I ain't mess up no men's shower, don't be botherin' me or I'll get my baby-daddy to kick yo' white azz".

Tysheka's manager Shyronda Jenkins came up to the desk and asked if there was a problem. I explained to Shyronda the problem, then she said that "someone will be gettin' to dat shower soon, but you gotta wait". I asked her how long. She said "How da hell do I know. I ain't no Miss Cleo". I asked Shyronda if there is a janitor on duty, she just stared at me for 30 seconds popping her bubble gum and twisting her recently weaved braids (I knew they were fake, her hair was much shorter last week) then she said "I don't know when dat nigga gonna come in!!! Get outta my face"!!!

After about 10 minutes the janitor TyShaun arrived in the locker room. But instead of cleaning, TyShaun was walking around for 10 minutes going "Yo! Whazzup" to all the black personal trainers who were just hanging out in the locker room.

I finally walked up to TyShaun and asked him nicely when the showers were going to be cleaned. He said "I'm gettin' to dem yo!" I asked him when, he said "Yo! Yo! Can't you see I'm talkin' to my peeps, Yo!"? I told him he should talk to his friends when he's off duty and that I was going to report him to the main office if he didn't clean the shower.

TyShaun then got angry and told me that I "would love to see a strong black brotha lose his job". I told him that race had nothing to do with it. I don't care if the person who cleans the shower is black, white, Asian or Latino. I wanted a clean shower. He kept telling me that I was trying to put the black man down. I got so annoyed waiting that I decided to go home and take a shower which made me late for work.

Can't Bally hire any white people. I remember when the club was Jack LaLanne and most of the receptionist staff were beautiful young pretty white girls who would help you out and answer your questions and white guys who were hard working janitors who would thoroughly clean every machine as well as the bathrooms.

I guess that there is some affirmative action thing or something that they must hire blacks, or is it becuase the black staff will stay longer because they don't go to college to get better jobs like the white staff did.
