Nice Atmosphere!. Walking into this location can come off intimidating, but the employees are very nice and are excited to assist you in any way. Though membership can be expensive (in the long term), it is well worth it. There offer a variety of services and membership incentives...there are several tennis courts, personal trainers, areas of seclusion to work out in, classes you can take, and an extensive workout area where the treadmills, stairmasters, etc. are. The location attracts alot of business professionals, beautiful eye candy as far as the men, and people with a serious mind to get in shape.
This budget gym trims the fat off its patrons at streamlined facilities..
The Scene
Most Ballys stick to the basics for their design. Televisions broadcast silently above multiple rows of cardio machines; mirrored walls act as the primary decorative components. But thanks to high-energy television ads and low-impact membership premiums, this national fitness chain has steadily attracted a clientele bent on saving money while losing weight or gaining muscle.
The Workout
Using fairly standard strength-training equipment and/or racks well-stocked with free weights, the best of the trainers here, who are classified at four different levels, can be as skillful as those found at costlier gyms. For group classes, signature exercise options include Spinning and Powerflex, as well as a number of patented routines inspired by Tae Kwon Do.
Sodomon and Gormorrah. Don't go to Ballys. There are other great gyms that you can go to.
