You're in CT IAB ... you pay $14.99 a gallon for milk, $27.99 a gallon for gas. I thought everything was more expensive there ...

Where is everyone from, and how much are their monthly gym fees. Just curious.

Queens, NY - World Gym 50 bucks a month.

Only certain parts of CT are expensive. Unfortunately, I live in one of the most expensive parts. I save 20 cents a gallon on gas by filling up near work instead of near home.

I'm in Jersey. I am a regretful Bally's Member. My membership is paid in full for the contract length until January 2006 where I'll be happily joining elsewhere Next January it's only $20.00 a month to stay their but I'd pay any amount to go elsewhere NOW

That's expensive.. They giving out blowjobs with their memberships ?

Shutup, I know your pain. I've had a paid up lifetime membership( no monthlyfee) for years. I stopped going to Ballys for many years because it was a terrible place to train, but for financial reasons I had to back there for nine months in 2003/2004. I was glad to finally get away from there again about 4 months ago.

As a serious trainer and a WOMAN who trains hard and heavy and knows what she's doing, you must stand out like a seriously sore thumb.

NEW YORK and also a Ballys member. why don't you like Ballys, just wondering if it's for the same reasons?

I'm from my mother and there was no gym.

I'm from the SF Bay Area, California. I recently moved from SF to Hayward and recently joined Bally's. Bally's was an improvement compared to my previous gym (that one had no barbells). I'm still under the 30 day trial and I think I have a week left before I can cancel my membership and get my $100 back. I hate to hijack this thread but has anyone who left Bally's tried 24 Hour Fitness? Just wondering since there's one near my home.

I am from Newark/Hockessin, Delaware, but I workout in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. I train at the YMCA and I pay $29 a month I think.

I know the question wasn't directed to me, but I couldn't resist the need to vent.

What's wrong with Ballys???
1. No gym etiquette whatsoever. The members( and the TRAINERS) do not strip the bars when they are done, there are plates all over the floor, the dumbbell racks are not marked, so DBs are put wherever, if people bother to put them back on the rack at all. I need a 20 pounder?? It might be in the aerobics room or lying underneath a machine somewhere. Good luck trying to find it... The place is full of "need a seeing eye dog because I am blind mirror hogs" who grab a dumbbell to curl and then insist to standing six inches from the rack and the mirror while they curl, oblivious as to whether you have already started a set behind them or else need to grab a dummbbell off the rack, which you can't do because they are blocking the way.
2. The staff is clueless and does not even enforce what few "rules" they have. The last Ballys I was in, there was a sign saying "no gym bags on the floor". I pointed out a guy carrying a bag to a trainer and he refused to do anything about it. Sure enough, a few weeks later, the 50 pound dumbbells disappeared.
3. Not enough equipment. There is no way you can get near the bench press on Monday night...take a number and come back later...one power rack, so at peak hours, forget about deadlifting( of course, no else deadlifts) or squatting because people insist on using the station for barbell curls.
4. If you are a woman and at any of all attractive, LOOK OUT. Most of the single guys are on the make and think the gym is a pick up joint, so unless you wear headphones, you will be hit upon repeatedly.
