| - I was looking into gyms around the area. Upon entering I was greeted by the front desk guy. I asked about memberships and then he said, "Sorry we are sold out". I stood there stunned. Then he snickered, "Just kidding". Trying to be a good sport I went with it.
Next came the young sales guy. He was personable - at first anyways. Showed me around the gym and I was interested in joining. Next we went over to the childcare area since I have a little one. Children were in the room however the two girls monitoring the room were chatting it up with one another and ignoring the kids. Bad sign. I asked the girls if they were CPR certified and had fingerprinting and background checks. The world stopped for just a moment and they stared at me. I had interrupted their important conversation. Then they were both saying, "Yeah, like, well, um, no, I mean yes,". In other words, no straight answers.
We sat at the sales guy's desk and the wheeling and dealing began. I felt like I was purchasing a new car. "If you choose option A, you then can go to all the gyms." "If you choose option B, then only here" . The whole time I could see the children's area and the kids were being completely ignored (and we are talking very little children). When I told the sales man I needed to think about it he switched into some type of Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde routine. "Well you only have today to make a decision, after that no price guarantee!!!" From there he was down right rude.
I walked out of there thinking what the heck just happened. Like Sarah G, I felt horrible when I left this gym. It was an awful experience. Ended up getting a membership at Tangible Fitness on 7th Street. They don't have the same amenities however it is locally owned, and the people are very nice there.
