I had a very poor experience with Bally's. The club itself is alright. There is a fair amount of equipment, although the cardio machines are frequently broken and you will often have to wait for a machine during peak hours. \r

The personal trainers don't seem to have a clue. I used my ""free"" training, and told the trainer I was interested primarily in losing some weight and doing some toning. He recommended to me a free weight program with low reps and high sets. He gave me four exercises just for chest. What a joke.\r

When I decided to cancel I had to call multiple times over two weeks. The person who was responsible for canceling was never ""available"" and my calls were not returned. Once I finally got a hold of him he did not properly cancel my account and I had to call back to stop the ongoing billing. What a waste of time.\r

I've belonged to a number of clubs over the years, and this was by far the worst. If you're in SE I would recommend Cascade Athletic Club.
Pros: Fairly clean facility, adequate equipment
Cons: everything else
