I joined the gym in 2012 and it was a good place to work out. But few months ago things started to change. The carpet is now stained and machines less maintained. About half of the familiar faces were gone. And about half of the staff is not that friendly now while some are still courteous and helpful. I'm fine with long faces. But then one day I was treated rudely at front desk and then twice and three times by different staff within one week. I don't know what happened to the management of LT in Goodyear, but I know I don't want to pay $52 a month for having my work-out mood killed. So I canceled my membership.
Other cheaper gyms I imagine are worse. So a basic home gym, outdoor activities and fitness DVDs will do for me.
