| - I've been looking for a gym close to my house, as I didn't want to drive all the way to my office where my current gym is located. I signed up for a free 1-day pass to check this place out as many people I know go to LVAC, and they seemed to enjoy it.
The front desk girl looked like she was ready for work, but I felt like I was interacting with someone who didn't entirely comprehend what I was asking. She mumbled most of the time, and kind of trailed off, leaving me sort of confused as to whether I should repeat what I said or just get someone else who had a brain.
The guy who was helping us fill out the form acted like "sign up if you want, or don't -- Just don't waste my time."
When I started to work out, some machines were broken and archaic. Towels weren't readily available, and everyone in the gym must have been trained to stare at people with contemtment who didn't have mr. Olympia-status muscle-bound physique or 34D-sized boobs. From the person cleaning the floors to the trainers all the way to the lackluster front desk girl, I wasnt feeling all that welcomed.
Then they hit me with a 26 month contract. When I said I don't want a contract that long, the staff just plainly stated, "it's only 50 bucks to cancel though." When I replied, "it's still 50 bucks though," he didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything either when I told him, "thank you, and have a good day."
I can deal with less-than-stellar equipment. I won't deal with rude staff. And I didn't meet a single one today who was decently nice. Won't be going ever again.
