Bally Total Fitness is a health club with a whole lot of gyms, four-hundred in all, in seventy different U.S. cities. They have also opened up gyms in South Korea, China and the Bahamas. They are supposed to help you reach optimum fitness.
Bally Total Fitness has not proven that it is a company to be trusted. There are hundreds and hundreds of customers who have complained about Bally’s sales tactics. Many people say they have been tricked into signing things.
Other people say that they start a free trial before they decide to become members and when they decide to quit and not become members, they are not able to get hold of someone to help them. One woman tried and tried to cancel her membership and the guy never did. Eventually her thirty day trial was over and the company told her to pay up.
This made her very angry because she had tried many, many times to get the guy to cancel her account and he never would. She said that they are charging her up to two-thousand dollars now and they just keep calling her to collect it.
She keeps telling them that she will not pay it because she never wanted to be a part of it. The guy at first seemed really kind and said he would take care of everything and never took care of anything. Now she is stuck and does not know what to do.
Eventually so many people complained against Bally Total Fitness that they were investigated and told to change their sales tactics which they agreed to. There have also been problems concerning their accounting and they are also being investigated for that.
Because of these things, Bally Total Fitness does not look like it is a company to be trusted. Though they claim that they are great, all the complaints filed against them seem to prove otherwise and say that Bally Total Fitness is not a company that can be trusted.
If you look into Bally and know without a doubt that it is what you want to do before every signing up, it may be a good choice for you. People who have done it that did not try to cancel have seemed to enjoy it very much.
It is convenient to be able to go different places and have gyms that may be close by. They are supposed to have good equipment and other great things to help you. So if it is something you want to do, and you for sure want to do it, it may not be a bad idea.
The troubles come if you are not sure that you want to do it and you try a free trial. That is where most people got tripped up. If they tried it out and then decided that they did not want to do it they would be tricked into signing something or could not get anyone to help them cancel.
These things are not good and Bally Total Fitness may not have something that you cannot get anywhere else. There may not be any difference in their gyms and any other gym that you could get a membership to.
Bally Total Fitness is probably not worth it. You should probably just try other fitness programs and go to other gyms. You would probably get the same benefits.
