As pleased as I was to find a mediocre but sufficient gym away from the university, I'm afraid it…read morewas one of my worse gym decisions yet. my girlfriend and I signed up with them due to one of their offers which they constantly have. We asked the person responsible for signing us up if we could quit which ever month we wanted. A few months later my girlfriend and I decided to go for runs instead of the gym since the weather was nicer, I called them and asked to cancel our memberships only to find out we were swindled into making a contract with them till November (it is February). This was very dishonest and completely regret signing up with them. Not to mention they misspelled my girlfriends name and never bothered to correct it.
