so fed up with my gym!!

Original post by SummerBride10

They just keep letting people join!! I can never find parking. I have to drive around the lot like 5 times (and its pretty big).

Half the time I have to wait for a treadmill or machines.

People are always screaming on their cell phones.

There's always 12 year olds running around.

I never had this problem at my old gym...

I'm trying to decide if its worth the $$$ to join a new gym. Planet fitness scuks..but its only $20 a month. Anywhere else I go Ill be paying much more, plus a start up fee.

I might just go back to synergy. maybe they'll waive the start up fee or...reduce it.

Can anyone reccomend thier gym near east meadow/levittown area?

Synergy is a really good gym just not during 'rush hour' you'll have about the same problems....I use to work at the one in baldwin and bw 5 to 8 is was Packed! I wish I knew people at the levittown one, Id see what I could do for the signup fee, sorry




I went to the levittown one for 2 years and never had a problem. my dad goes there now.

Talk to them tell them you use to be a member and you have family that goes there, if you talk to them they will sometimes reduce or remove the start up fee.....i did for a few people, so I know it can be done

I think I'm gonna go with my dad. He's a champion haggler lol. He's paying the corporate rate there now because he talked them down to like $30 a month...I joined before him and was paying 33 a month!

I only pay 10 bucks a month at planet fitness - maybe if u went a little bit later rather than straight from work I find its better like 630 pm or later...




noooooooo not at the one colleen and i belong to. it's HORRIBLE up until at least 9pm (maybe even later but i'm always gone by 9pm).

it really is the most ridiculous out of control place i've ever been to in my life. it's just soooo convenient and soooooo cheap. but man that parking lot is a disaster!

Which PF do you go? The one I go to never has waits or anything (atleast not when I'm there lol)

I'm paranoid to post what gym I go to online, but FM me if you want to know.

I dont know how budget figures in but I am a member of the NY Health & Raquet Club in Great Neck. It is always very clean, RARELY full, it comes w/ a swimming pool too and plenty of towels and locker room area. After 7 pm, there's maybe 10 people on the machines at any one time.

FH is a member of the NY Sports Club in East Meadow and says he doesnt see it too packed during evening hours (granted, he goes there from 4 to 5 pm usually).
