Get the best deal and support from your gym
Advantages: save money, better support Disadvantages: none
...work in the health and Fitness industry for 9 years and in that time I joined a lot of people up to various gyms. However there were times when as a sales person, I hated my job because I felt like people were often getting ripped off and not getting the best deals available. In light of that (and the fact I know it still happens today) I have put together a comprehensive guide to getting the most out of your gym membership, how to get the best deals ... ...clever fee designed by the fitness industry as a whole to get more money out of you. Sorry! 3) Join the gym 3 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE MONTH. The sales staff are desperate to hit their targets and will give you all sorts of reductions (many will put you onto a reduced corporate rate to get the sale even if you don't work for a large corporate company! I've even known some to put people onto an Off-peak membership but give them full use of the gym ...

a disgrace
Advantages: its cheep Disadvantages: staff are unhelpful, violent and abusive. the management don't care

i found the gym very dirty and unhygenic, there was mould growng on the tiles in the shower area and outside the sauna.

OUGHT TO HAVE A WEALTH WARNING
Advantages: Good tennis Disadvantages: Personally witnessing a long-standing member being refused entry.
OUGHT TO HAVE A WEALTH WARNING: The club appears to tie the members into very long contracts (currently, I believe 12 months notice) and this year when my membership was due for renewal the club did not adhere to their own contract with regards to price increases, 14a & 14b of the contract in particular. The office staff, in charge of Membership Relations, I found to be rather dishonest! I personally experienced some very unethical tricks when negotiating ... ...who she is, will even insist that she does not receive emails as official notice of resignation or retraction, depending on what benefits her, of course. I have also personally witnessed a long-standing member being refused entry to the club only 2 days after his payment ran out. How ruthless!
Be careful! ...

Don't join
Advantages: None Disadvantages: Facilities
...has meant that companies like LA Fitness continue to operate when they ought to shrivel up and dissappear. This club is awful! Showers are closed, though if you were to go inside them you would find broken floor tiles and a leaking roof. The exercise studio features a leaking roof and lots of 'feature' puddles that gym instrutors need to warn of, just in case a member falls. The club is like an unwanted puppy - neglected, tired and in need of some ... ...complete the much promised £1m refurbishment as its unusable at present. It's a shame as I have been a member for many years and used to love it - a really friendly and and intimate club, which under the 'new' ownership of LA Fitness has been run into the ground. ...
