Bally's gym?

[jennythereader]

Does anyone use this gym? (I'd prefer info on the Crossgates location, but another location is better than none.) What do you think of it?

Mostly I'm concerned with cleanliness and how well maintained it is. Also, what the gym culture is like. Are the staff/other member polite/annoying/friendly/whatever?

Also, have you taken any of the classes they offer? What did you think of them?

The guy I talked to the other day seemed nice, and offered a trial day. I'll probably arrange one after the holidays.

That's cool. If I might, either arrange it before the holiday (if you can) or, if after the holiday, give people time to get back into their regular schedules and then go. It'll give you a better feel for the place (how busy) at the times you'd be working out.

The immediate post-holiday rush can be pretty crazy but thins out pretty quick. I don't want you to make a selection based on a false impression.

Very good point. I'll try to find time between now and the end of the year, if I can.
