Very manipulative. Was told personal training was included in the premium package. After signing up for the membership, they informed me the service was a separate cost from the membership. Once I realized that information, they never informed me I had 3 days to cancel my membership if I wasn't satisfied. Now I am stuck paying for a gym with no real incentives.
They act like they care about their customers, but they are manipulative leeches who put on a great act. Thanks ladies.
Update: In response to the owner, YES this in fact the correct gym. During the introduction to the membership, the 2 ladies (one who was a real fast talker) stated with the premium package for $29 a month, personal training was included in with the services. She did not distinguish the "personal training" was only to meet with one of the staff ONCE A MONTH to discuss goals. She did NOT clarify the real personal training would be an additional/separate cost from the premium package. It was presented to me the premium package included one on one training with meal plan was as an incentive along with the massage chair and bringing a guest.
Once everything was signed, she then clarified the personal training was an additional cost which was around $340 a month. I was very disappointed and confused. It was a manipulative sales tactic. After seeing my disappointment, she NEVER mentioned that I had up to 3 days to cancel if I was not satisfied with the service. So YES, it was in fact the correct location and establishment. Following up directly with the site and staff would be useless, because either way I am stuck in this binding contract with false promises and...
Read moreBest kept secret on the oceanfront! I frequent the gym about 4 times a week ranging from mornings to late afternoons. I only have to wait for equipment maybe once a month - there’s enough options, close alternatives, and never congregations. Alexis and Hayley are great, the gym is well kept/organized, fellow patrons are friendly, and everyone’s there to get their workouts in. I wouldn’t consider it a gym to socialize, see or be seen - because of that, I think there’s less loitering and generally more availability in equipment.
As much as I like having the gym to myself and a few others, I wanted to share how a frugal oceanfront resident and VB Rec Center member like myself justified the cost. For me, I got an extra 12 hours of my life back every month, and the money I saved on gas immediately covered the cost of the gym membership. Let me explain the details..
To do a proper gym workout at a rec center (Seatack doesn’t cut it) I drove an extra 30 minutes round trip to get to PA or Great Neck - and lets say about 12 miles round trip. Then, once I got there, a 30 minute workout takes at least an extra 15 minutes due to the crowds - this is an extra 45 minutes needed between crowd and commute for each workout, and for 16 visits a month, that's 12 hours! Also, those 16 times per month x 12 miles = 192 miles, which is about 9 gallons of gas for me and this covers the membership for me.
They have a free trial, which only allows you to come during open hours, but even that should be enough to give you an idea of what the gym...
Read moreWhere do I even begin? I am a gym girl so I am always on the lookout for a gym that will accommodate my every need. My biggest need has always been a gym that stays open 24 hours. My second need is feeling safe. The third is having all the equipment I need to hit my goals. This gym gave me all of that. The owners and the members here are always looking out for each other which creates a dope environment. This has also has the absolute BEST owners you will EVER meet. I wish I still lived in VB so I could keep going to this gym. The owners genuinely care about each of their members. You will see them interacting and hyping their members up because they are that passionate about what they do. I always left getting a solid workout and having a solid conversation with Lex or Hayley. They offer more than a gym… they offer a space for people to let go of their day so they can build a better version of themselves. I’ve had many gym memberships over the years because of how often I have had to move, but this one remains my favorite because of the owners. Not to mention that it is so damn clean, the dumbbell rack is ALWAYS in order, and equipment and accessories are always in place. So don’t think twice about signing up here. It’s worth every single penny! I could say more, but I think what I’ve said sums it up pretty well. Lex and Hay...
