Salem is the worst person I have ever met. I walked in with the intention of asking about rates. When I opened the door, no one was at the front desk. Older women were selling their wares of cheap clothing and jewelry in an already tiny gym. I stood around for several minutes looking for someone who worked there, and Salem walked up to me, chastising me for looking at some documents on the front desk which were plain for everyone to see. I apologized, I was being nosy, but NO ONE was at the front desk, or even near by. I was looking for a paper listing different plans, that's all, since specials and rates weren't shown anywhere in the gym. First bad sign.
There's about 10 weight machines, just as many treadmills and about 5 stairmasters. When I asked Salem about why there were women selling things there, she became nasty and rude, asking me if the sole purpose of my visit was to criticize how things were done in her gym and waste her time. I was pretty taken aback. She asked me to sign in, but didn't explain why. She then proceeded to look up my name, and names of my family members and told me an old account my mother opened was in collection. Umm, ok? That's my mother, not me. I'm a just college student trying to join a gym to get into shape, not a criminal or con artist, but that's exactly how she made me feel.
After talking to her for a few minutes, I wanted to get out running. She has terrible customer service skills, no wonder the gym on Sunset Drive and 147 AVE closed down. I asked her for the price per month without a contract, and it's $35/mo. $35 for a run-down, tiny gym with only a handful of weight machines and elderly women in the corner selling things as if it was a flea market? No thanks. I'll go anywhere else, but I. Will. NEVER. Give. A. Penny. To. Salem.
When she told me the rate, I said "Thank you for your time," and walked out. She had the nerve to walk out of the gym and stare me down as I walked to my car and drive away. She is disgusting. I hope I never see this woman again in my life. read more
