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 Best Fitness in Westgate Plaza wasn't too bad as long as you just go to the gym and the classes and don't let them rook you into personal training. Total waste of money.
The classes (especially Zumba) fill up fast but are worth the hassle.

I'll look into them too. Thanks!

Zumba is pretty absurdly fun for an exercise class.

I'm currently shopping for a gym with classes as well. I'd really like one with a lap pool, but know that's probably not going to happen.
