I have been an Urban Active member for over 3 years now. First 2 years of contract pricing was pretty high but new contract negotiated down to $20 a month prepay for 24 months not horrible for Westlake. I like the gym for the wide variety of equipment and layout of facility. Working out in am is advantageous if you can do so to avoid the mob! Forget working out after work between 5-7 unless you like waiting for everything! I have not used any personal training services but have noticed they all do the same routine with everyone! Looks like a standard routine they are all taught to dish out, understandable to a degree but fitness levels are different and should adjust programs to those people.
I am planning on switching when my contract expires since it is not very convenient for me anymore and I do also expect a hassle when "trying" to escape.
