I joined Bally's in 1/2010 and my wife got a free six month membership. We did well and lost weight and enjoyed our experience overall. My only complaint was with noisy guest who stood around talking rather then working out. We failed to keep up o... Read More »

To Whom It May Concern:

My experience with Bally's is not a great one! For one the club was not a good one. The Child Care facility was a joke! And the machines were broken, and the tv's never worked.

I had to live out the three year contra... Read More »

Just like everybody else, I was lied to and scammed by Bally Fitness Center in Culver City, CA. Below is my letter to its corporate office. I sent this email to my credit card company as well disputing the charges. The bottom line, the company res... Read More »

My trip to hell w/ Bally Total Fitness began in late fall of 2008. Stupidly, without researching, I signed up with Bally's because it was so close to my job. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. My first clue that I shouldn't have joined was the fact that... Read More »

Hi,

This Encino location is a dirty, smelly gym.
I have called the corporate office, talked to managers, nothing changes.
The men's locker room is trashed; broken lockers, trash everywhere and smelly. Avoid this gym at all costs.

Horrible customer service. Managers have no customer skills whats so ever, and their corporate office does not even have a complaint department where you can speak to someone higher up. Contracts are not as accurate as they portray it to be, and m... Read More »

This company does not provide the services they advertise. If you have a dispute, you will not be able to resolve it with anyone because they are not empowered and then are not honest about actions they say they will take.

I would not recommend... Read More »

Beware signing a contract w/ Bally's. If you move, or your local club closes down, they will expect you to drive up to 25 miles to another location to work out. Doesn't matter if its inconvenient to you or out of your way. As long as one is within... Read More »
