 | 	- So, I have been really wanting a gym membership and I finally made it in to check it out.  I was looking for a gym that has lots of classes and a good amount of cardio machines.  L.A. Fitness seemed like a great fit.  It is really hot outside today and I was dying to work out.  I figured L.A. Fitness had something where I could do a trial period so I could work out and see how I liked it. I want to make sure I feel comfortable working out there.  If I liked it I would sign up. This sounds reasonable right?
Basically, what happened was the guy at the front desk told me...NO, I had to sign up, pay sign up fee plus monthly membership fee then if I didn't like it they would give my money back.  Also, if I didn't sign up today it would cost me more money.  He kept throwing all sorts of numbers at me and talking fast so that I couldn't keep the numbers straight, he wouldn't write anything down for me so I could see how much all this would end up costing me and think about it.  It was like trying to buy a used car.  I hate high pressure sales.  
Also, to insult to injury he said,..."You look good  but you really need to tone up a bit."  Really?  Your going to insult me to get me to sign up for your membership today?  I think this is a terrible sales tactic.  NEVER do I spend money ANYWHERE that insults me.  The only reason I currently do not have a gym membership is this sales tactic.  So, in a nut shell I just walked out and will never go back.  
If you like high pressure sales and some guy commenting on your body, pointing out how tone you are or not,  commenting on how many inches you need to loose, then this is your place.  As for me I really hope to find a gym that is not like this.
