I used to go to Bally's and I really liked it but it was just too far from my house and too crowded. My local Bally's is sooooo stinkin' packed. I suggest you go "check it out" during its peak hours or at least during the time frame that you think you want to go work out because they will probobly make you sign up for a year and you might find that if you have to got between 5 pm-8pm you will really not enjoy it and wish you didnt join. I had to wait my turn just to get on a machine and I am not a patient person and waiting for a machine to open up just killed my desire to work out. Now this was back when I worked 8-5. If you can go during the day its awesome
