Shawn, the owner?, is very likable and persuasive. Unfortunately my boyfriend, who signed me up and himself, is a little bit of a push over when it comes to questionable business tactics. This membership in July 2018 was 129.00/monthly. The woman selling to us, or to him, I should say. (I repeatedly voiced no interest because I came to see if there was yoga classes, and I would not pay for one yoga class per week or 4 for a 129.00. She says there is more than one yoga class but I point out I rely on others for transportation and the one class, (Wed. I think), was the only one I would be able to get to. I also pointed out limited classes on Thurs/Fri/Sat and none on Sun, and so the only benefit to me was the fact that they were open 24/7 so I could only use the equipment. She AGREES and says I will always have access to the equipment.) I walk away trying to find out how to get to the 'other part of the gym' and she is able to have my boyfriend fill out applications for us both and pay for the first month. At this point she agrees to give a tour and when my boyfriend asks how to get into the 'other side of the gym' with the equipment not used in classes she tells us that the building is actually 2 different businesses side by side. I specifically AGAIN mention the 24/7 equipment use and she THEN tells us that is for the 'other gym'. I let her know that we really can't use the gym, could my boyfriend just sign up for the 500.00/6 week boot camp-the reason we came there. She tells me to 'try it out for a month' and we'll see. Well, you probably can guess, the boyfriend tried to cancel and told him 'no'.
So my boyfriend is stuck paying 129.00 a month for a gym that he can use when he gets off of his 7-3 or later job in Austin. And I can use once a week if he gets off and home in time to take me for a yoga class.
For every one else. When you get to the bldg, keep in mind all the great advertising such as open 24/7 is for the gym next door for about 15.00 a month. Though I mentioned some of the outside advertising, the person selling us NEVER mentioned till after signing that it was the other gym's. Yes, Shawn is a nice guy, but this wasn't nice. Yes, I realize he is young and trying to get ahead like everyone else and I wish him luck. I also wish him better business ethics.
Think about it. Yes, Shawn is very like able, probably a good motivator, and definitely looks the part. Only you can decide if it's worth over 1500.00 a year. (In our case 3,000) Or find it within yourself and with friends motivating you to go next door for 180.00 a year. read more
