Pros: NONE
Cons: High priced, difficult contracts

All gyms that are worth anything have good equipment and clean well managed facilities. That is a simple fact if they didn't people wouldn't join them. The one main difference is the membership fees and contracts.

Pros: Great for a year
Cons: rip off after a year

Pros: Cheap and easy to find.
Cons: The worst service for a large company EVER.

Bally's is the worst gym in America and it seems they could care less. The employees are reserved to hanging around and providing no genuine help and the facilities are often dirty, behind the times, and not well kept.

People would pay extra...

Pros: Nice facilities
Cons: Too expensive, too crowded

I recently have used the workout facilites over at Bally Total Fitness and have to say they must have every single type of physical fitness equipment in existence there. A friend of mine is a registered member there so that is how I was able to go there...
