| - Turnoff #1. Lulu Lemmings. That's who they cater to. (LOVE Lulu Lemon, but we're a free market, people). And sorry, but noone in head to toe spandex "shadowboxing" Billy Blank style can afford to act snobby. It's supposed to be fun!
Turnoff # 2: The rep who gave us our free weak (oops, I mean week) trial followed up one afternoon to pitch me over the phone. I explained that I was in a business meeting with my boss (fact), and she then proceeded to try to squeeze in her sales pitch at increased pace, which made ME feel rude for having to hang up. Unnerving!
Turnoff #3: Spookiness. On a couple of evenings, the place was so oddly (maybe there were some lemmings in the cardio room?) empty that I felt like I was in a museum only to find the statues staring at me like in Scooby-Doo. Half expected tumbleweeds to roll through. Not their fault, I guess. They do try (see point #2).
Comparison shopping: better value, cleanliness, class schedule and geographical coverage at Extreme Fitness.
1 Upside-- the MUAY THAI class was beyond AWESOME, bringing this review to 3 stars.
