Fitness500 Club — Local services in Barnstable

buyer beware I looked at other reviews and it seems they have a habit of fraudulent charges. In my case I visited the gym and cancelling my membership over 1.5 years ago, I just got a call from a collection agency asking for $500.00. Of course there is a new manager there and they insisted on payment. It's a gym after all I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the poor management and shady business practices. The response from the manager was "You signed a 6 month commitment but the contract was for a year". What a crook. I will not be paying a single dollars to this shady gym.

• Regarding the gym's response to my post. Number one they never offered to settle 70% of my bill that's completely false. When I left the gym I was friends with the old manager whose name was Mark just like mine we also shared a birthday. I talked with Mark, the prior manager, directly before I left for Nashville, so I could also tell him goodbye. I told him to cancel my membership and he said he would take care of it. Fast forward a year and I get contact from a collection agency with a charge of $500. The new manager could have considered my story and review my record.... BUT no, I got the "it's in your contract" position. What a jackass and a bad...

Fraudulent gym be aware Promises a payment plan but charges more

Promises great customer service and forget to mention cancellation fee of 400+ usd

Has ok equipament but lack quality. And bad hygiene for the most part Equipament is not required to be clean and they don't clean it. It all looks clean but is not. I got a scrub and had it lab tested and it tested high germ per square inch. The locker room don't even want to mention. Or the bathroom that had dried pee on the ground like do the clients not know the concept of pee in the toilet? The people here act nice to some but i noticed them been extremely rude to others. So maybe you are the good luck customers that they get a liking to or you could end up like the rest and be treated bad. The paint in many parts are so old its paling. The floor definitely needs an update. The employees are knowledgeable but lack attitude. Mostly young kids who probably don't care about the price. Price is not the same for every customers either as they make up prices on the go. I talked to some people who pays 30 usd while some pays 40 and even met one who is paying 50 for the same services. There is no extra benefit to them other than the first month. Also they claime a price and...

I give this gym an A+. I got a one month membership for my two week vacation and I loved coming here to workout. It is well equipped, spacious, kept at a comfortable temperature and clean. The best things were the staff were always friendly and the patrons were all there to workout! Even though I was there for a short time I felt part of a community of serious folks (of all ages and abilities—I’m 59) all truly focused on training. Yes, the younger kids like to gaze at their phones between sets, but in my 6 or 7 visits over weeks I didn’t have to sigh to myself even once because of clowns taking selfies or ego lifters slamming weights on eccentrics they couldn’t control. I felt totally at home doing my thing and confident that I wouldn’t be distracted by nonsense that often occurs in commercial gyms. I used barbells, dumbbells, weight machines, pull-up and dip setups and the peleton—I only had to wait for a piece of equipment or adjust my workout once. The two downsides were it was a little pricey for a one month membership (not sure how the other reviewer got a $90 deal) and I found it a little dark, particularly in the room with the turf and multiple squat racks. I I’ll use them again in the future and...
