In the past they cheated there employees and a lawsuit was settled for millions of dollars as well as Pre sale a location and then not open it for up teen years and then freeze your account to pacify you until the location opens therefore making money on your money while stuffing in as many victims as possible. If you do exercise at the Gym you will find motivated Personal trainers in abundance trying to sell you there services, you are better off getting a subscription to muscle and fitness and reading the magazine and implementing the routines and articles. The membership to buy if you can afford it is the Keep fit Plus it is a good deal at 599 that is the lowest it goes in a club unless you find a location that is having a grand opening then you can pick it up for name your price serious! To sum it up it is like shooting fish in a barrel if you join this Gym!!!!!

I think we all agree that 24 hour fitness is manipulative and the opposite of what you describe. - They won't let you have a workout until they spend 45 minutes selling you on 24 hour fitness. - They pressure you in to sales (special offers are always ending that day) - They continuously push you into longer bigger commitments. - If you do not sign up that day, they repeatedly call you at home for the following few weeks. It's just my experience but it's the exact opposite of what you are describing. I a member at 24 hour fitness and so are a lot of my friends.

- They won’t let you have a workout until they spend 45 minutes selling you on 24 hour fitness.
- They pressure you in to sales (special offers are always ending that day)
- They continuously push you into longer bigger commitments.
- If you do not sign up that day, they repeatedly call you at home for the following few weeks.

It’s just my experience but it’s the exact opposite of what you are describing.
