Pancho, when will BFIT report earning from scaming people? They don't care about people health just hard pressure selling technique and humongous fee + interests. In Los Angeles area there are nicer gyms like 24hr Fitness (where we paid 500 for the whole family of 5 for 3yrs, after that only 50 bucks a year) and LA Fitness. I don't know of any other chains in the rest of States.

Pancho - don't get carried away with hatred of Bally's just because you're short. Sure, there's lot of unhappy customers, but this happens with lots of businesses. AOL had lots of unhappy customers about a year ago, and look what happened to their stock. And there's even some sort of IOM Zip-sucks web-page somewhere out there in cyberspace. A lot of these pages tend to attract complainers and malcontents, while those with better experiences don't spend their time on these types of sites. I was a member of the Cambridge Bally's for a year. Not a great gym, but it was certainly a good value, had a great location, and I'd probably still be a member if I still lived in Cambridge. Having said all that, I have my eye on BFIT as a short myself, just want to make sure you and others realize that Bally's does provide value to many customers.
