Bally's Total fitness The most hardcore aggressive sales pitch I have ever heard

I will never forget what a joke Bally's Total Fitness is. Me and my boyfriend back in 2000 were looking to join a gym to get into shape. I called them and spoke to a salesperson who's name I think was Steve at the time but not totally sure. He wouldn't give me any pricing over the phone so we had to come in but said he would get us a "great deal" (what a joke!!!).
We arrived and were given a tour of the gym and sat down in his office where he told us membership would be 43.00 per person per month with a 3 year contract. What a joke! I said that was way too high and we weren't interested in that long of a commitment. He then went off and said that our health is important and that cost shouldn't be an issue. Our health wasn't the issue he just wanted the sale. So I told him it was too much and that we would not sign up for that. He then offered is a lower rate but we would have to work out off-peak hours. As we were about to leave he called in his manager-some tacky aggressive guy who sounded like a car salesman.
Again, he had no interest in our financial needs or what we could afford, they just wanted the sale. We left and told them we were not interested. We went to Gold's gym, had an absolutely pleasant experience, signed up for 23.00 per month, 23.00 down only a 1 year contract. Since my year has been up for a while, I was renewed on a month to month basis and have been with Golds since. Probably the gym that has given me the least amount of hassle over the years and they are open 24 hours and right by my house.
The next day the snakey salesperson from Bally's called me and wanted to renegotiate and I told him we had already signed with Gold's and he should have been more considerate and professional when we were there. I told him please never to call me again.
I would NEVER walk into a Bally's again because of this. They suck!
