Basically, I stopped by because I was considering a membership. Instantly, they required my name and phone number on a sheet of paper. I was given a 2 minute tour by one of the employees., and brought into a room to go over the rates. The manager busted in the room and was instantly pushing for me to sign up right away. I said that I would like to come in on a day where I could actually see the pool facilities (it was a male day, so I couldn't go in there) and see how busy the place would be at the times I would normally be coming in. He said that what I saw in the picture (a small picture of half of the pool area, with 8 girls in bikinis lying around) was exactly what it was, and that seeing it wasn't going to make a difference in my opinion, he'd heard people say the same thing a million times before. He said that female days were admittedly busier, but if I only signed up right now, then I wouldn't have to mess with paperwork when I came in and I could start right away. I insisted that I would, in fact, need to come in another day before I decided. He said that I would need to ask for the same employee who assisted me, because this employee works on commision, you know, and that is what earns him money and feeds his family at home. Needless to say, I was completely turned off by this rude and aggresive way of trying to obtain my business. There was not even at attempt at trying to make me feel comfortable or catering to my needs, and I hadn't even signed up yet!!
