What is the sentiment of the following review?
I have to update my review. I have been here 6 months and my complaint is with the CONSTANT up selling. Buy these $76 worth of vitamins because nothing else on the face of the planet will work, pay for this testing at $100 plus this equipment you need for $75 but next time it's only $99!! Buy this watch that is vital to your survival only $249! Which you can find on amazon for $100 less. Let me work out and stop selling me crap! Took my boyfriend and his son to the pool, was told I brought my bf 5 months earlier and he couldn't come in more than one time in a 6 month period. My "rules" didn't allow it. No one ever explained that before. I asked what membership I needed to get him in so I could change it and she said she didn't know, just not mine. I asked for a 2 week pass for him to try the gym and was told no. Been trying to get him to join but after that fiasco he would rather spend the $10 a month at planet fitness with no pressure, no up selling and no snooty teenagers denying him access. I get the terms but they were never explained, were not clarified and we felt like criminals coming in to enjoy the pool with our kids. That left a horrible taste in his mouth and he hates the gym now. I like it but not sure it's worth it anymore. I'm on my third trainer who is good but again I feel like I'm always being told to buy stuff. Now paying $250 a month for training, $75 for my monthly membership and, just had to buy a $150 heart rate monitor an the $100 AMA testing which again is vital to my survival Apparantly. We will see. Sad I had to take away a star though. And ps $3 for a 1 liter of vitamin water is too much :( I'm not even sure where to begin with this place. I literally spent 7 months deciding if I wanted to join or not. I was too intimidated to go in the gym and check it out but I was fed up with my body and I really dislike Gold's gym so I e-mailed them for the 5th time, said screw it and signed up on-line. So the first time I went in I was green and had no idea what to do. The staff was EXTREMELY friendly, took me on a tour of the whole place, set me up with guest passes that I asked for and gave me free lunch. The gist of it is, I pay $75 a month for myself and my 5 year old. This covers 2 hours of childcare 7 days a week if I want it. For $10 a month that's MORE than worth it. Their kid's center has a TV, infant area, inside gym, computer center, toys galore outside play area and is always more than amply staffed. They also have events included in your membership like rock climbing wall, kids gym, and yoga. You can also sign up for "parent's night out" for 4 hours its $15 and your kid plays, gets pizza and other stuff (not sure on details I haven't done it yet) Moving on, I signed up and had $200 LT bucks. I took my HealthScore and met with Corey Goldstein who has been absolutely PHENOMENAL. He didn't laugh when I told him my goal and I paid for a session with him with my LT bucks and he kicked my weak little but in shape. He is phenomenal. He is the manager though so he can't train people. I was somehow talked into doing training ($69-$75 an hour) but I'm a broke ass and only signed up for 2/month. I was originally set up with someone and it wasn't working for me so I was immediately switched to someone else who has been phenomenal! I train with Jacob now and he created a weekly plan for me too when we don't train together. Some of the amenities: basketball court awesome lockers showers scented steam room indoor and outdoor pools, kiddie splash area, designated family time. hot tubs salon (never used it) yoga pilates weekly classes (tons) weight management programs (extra cost) metabolic testing cafe rock climbing wall squash courts tennis courts nutrition counseling newsletter great website with lots of free resources running training lots more I can't remember. Anyway I love it! I couldn't be happier.
