Went in to try out the gym before commiting to a membership. 1st impression when I walked in was, judgment from the front desk staff. 2nd, the gym is cluttered with strength training equipment and where's the cardio equipment...? As soon as I reached the front desk, the manager greets me & takes me straight to a desk where he starts discussing membership prices. He didn't mention the annual fee at all until I asked. And a guest is only able to go with you 3 days a week. Lol! Seriously! I told him i wanted to try it out first before getting membership information and requested a pass for a 2nd time. He gave us a tour of the gym. Cardio area was dead. Not a single person there. It's boring. No music, no tvs. Of course, i can take my own music, but what if I forget my headphones..? We went back to his desk & He refused to give me and 3 guests a pass because he wanted to know what would determine our decision to join. I advised my decision would be based off of how much I like the gym and how comfortable we felt while working out. He said theres no television on cardio because its a huge distraction so stare at the walls people. I advised i enjoy doing cardio. He went on to tell me how I needed to do only 10 min of cardio and weight lifting the rest of the time i was there 5 days a week. Uh! For 1 i didn't ask for your opinion on a workout routine. That got me so upset. He then said not to base workout on the cardio equipment and to do the classes. I advised I wouldnt have time for classes due to being busy. He smirked. I told the people I was with, this aint gonna work out. He's giving us a hard time to try out the gym with a guest pass. If this is how they act & they're not even getting my money yet, imagine how difficult my membership will be if i enroll. We got up & the manager started laughing because I asked if the cardio equipment had tvs. He said tvs are a distraction. Uh... every gym I've been to has tvs so this guy is , paque te digo, menso. So ya, again, stare at the blank walls if you join. Lol. We walked out happy we didn't fall into that scam of a gym.
