THEY CLAIM:
 
"TOTALL FITNESS
     We help you get the results you want"

 I SAY:  They also help you get the results you do not want!

Re: Important info for perspective members

Learn to spell CONTRACT, you idiot. In defense of unsatisfied members, my complaint is not so much "I got screwed into a contract", as Ballys is an unethical company and others need to have enough information to make smart decisions. I read the contract and was satisfied with its payment terms. However, brain-dead, a lot of us want out because Ballys does not live up to their end of the bargain!! You need to understand what's really going on. Most Ballys gyms are a nasty, filthy, bacteria-filled mess! Their trainers don't show up, they are rude and obnoxious, they actually DO lie to consumers about the 3-day cancellation period, the machines are not maintained, its a crowded, sweaty place, the music sucks and they think I want to pay for THIS? I don't' know about you, but I feel if someone does not live up to the promises they make in a contract WE BOTH SIGNED, then they are in breach and must make amends!!! They certainly expect that of ME! I also believe the contract is misleading at best, it REALLY IS A LOAN, not a membership pact. Most people can read, they may not understand what they read, and Ballys depends on that. Then they have a collection agency that works right along with them to take up the slack when someone wants out! People want out for many different reasons!! And I see that Ballys doesn't live up to their promise to cancel contracts for those who live too far to commute either, so what's up with that??!!! You really think, this company with all its lying, underhanded, ambushing, Nazi sales practices is worth you sticking up for it and telling us we're whining???? How much are they paying you? Please, you sound like Bally's favorite kinda member....deaf, dumb and blind!!!

Bally screws the military!!
I joined the service and was told that I could just write to corporate with a copy of enlistment paperwork to cancel membership. No strings attached. "there is a clause for the military" YEAH RIGHT! I did what I was told and even got a letter confirming. I went away, all my stuff in storage, everything was fine until 8 years later. EIGHT!!!! Guess what pops up in collections on my credit??? Not once in 8 years, but now it amazingly appears. My paperwork lost in a fire that almost killed my family, and these scumbags want me to pay $800 or produce the letter of cancellation. They said they had no paperwork of the incident....not even the copies of my enlistment paperwork? BALLYS IS A SCAM EVEN TO UNCLE SAM!!! What a great fitness center...maybe they should relocate to Iraq where we can blow their shit up.
 
BALLY'S SUCK ASS

Do Not Join These Fraudulent Bastards!
Want to get a work out? Just try to cancel a membership! It is unreal.

Bally's sucks!
I did not know and as not told when I signed up that I was actually signing a loan for membership.

BAD CREDIT
If you will complain and will not pay membership fees for any reason, they will sell your member account to a collection agency.
The IPFA Fraud
The International Physical Fitness Association is not about setting standards nor does it represent those people wanting to be fit. It is about membership.... 
EYE IRRITATION
"The most common form of eye irritation is urine in the water.  When urine is present, the  reaction is so intense it will burn the eyes." 
ATHLETE'S FOOT
"You can catch athlete's foot by direct and indirect contact. It can be transmitted in shower stalls, on locker room floors or from shared towels or shoes."
