| - I've received a couple of mailers from EOS, talking about a $9.95/month membership, and a free 7 day pass to try out the gym.
On April 1, I decided to take advantage of the free trial, and drove over.
I have to say, I'm not impressed at all.
To do the free trial, they set you up to talk to a manager...well when I was there, he was too busy to talk to me. He told me to go ahead and do my workout, and then to come talk to him when I was done.
Ok fine.
So, I did my workout. Free weights and a little bit of time on the treadmill.
Honestly, I didn't care for the vibe I was getting from the place, plus...it took me a long time to find machines, bathrooms, etc, since I wasn't given a tour or anything.
After my workout, I went to talk to the manager, who was REALLY pushy about signing up for their $24.99 membership, even though I said I was interested in the $9.95.
Look.
I get that you guys probably get some kind of commission, but do NOT be pushy with me. Don't pressure me into getting your most expensive membership. I obviously want to join a gym, so you don't have to do the hard sell. I don't WANT the "all inclusive" price. All I really need access to are weights, machines, and cardio equipment. A class would be fun, but not a necessity. And I definitely don't need unlimited tanning.
Also...your sign up fees are astronomical compared to other gyms in town. $9.95/month with a $100 sign up fee? Screw that.
I only went to this gym twice during my 7 day trial, because even after my second visit, I still didn't like the vibe. I got a text message from them about signing up, which is a turn off. Let me try your gym. Show me around. Tell me if my free trial includes classes (because I had no clue if I could try one or not.) But LEAVE ME ALONE until the end of my trial, unless you're just asking how I like it. I don't like feeling pressured. That is the biggest way to lose me as a client.
Also...even if you think it, don't make the comment of "Most people who do the 7 day trial who want the $10 a month plan don't sign up." What a rude thing to say. Honestly, I might have dropped the $100 to sign up here, had it not been for the rude, car salesman vibe I got.
In addition, the layout, for me, was confusing. I couldn't find/see any stretching racks at all, and there really wasn't space that I saw for stretching, so I did all of that in the dressing rooms.
Not the best place in town, by a long shot.
