Ridiculous policies and unethical practices
My contract has been ended for 3 month and I cannot even cancel my membership. Each time I attempted for cancel membership, the customer service has been nothing but rude and bullying trying get to renew. I told them I am not interested in renewing and they said once I sign up, I am stuck with Bally for life. I believe that is not fair and wrong.
I subscribed to Prepaid legal attorney to help me resolve, but the way he tried to resolve it made worse. I want some how get Bally stop with their unfair business practices.
Gisele of Long Beach CA (10/12/08)
I signed a contract with them at, then ceased to attend the gym after about 9 months. Somehow I owe them money, although I'm not really sure why or how. I am not getting charged for 3 years worth of dues, which I would expect to happen since I'm noticing (from other complaints) that their contracts are 3-year ones. They have turned me over to a collection agency.
Bad credit, stress. Confusion as to their ridiculous policies and unethical practices.

Terrible experience
I purchased a ballys membership in the fall of 2005, i was told that i wasn't able to purchase a membership unless i signed a 3 yr contract. I had to put 50 down and then i paid 35/month. I used the membership for about 1 yr. but the gym got to crowded and a lot of the equipment was often broken. Including the steamroom and sauna.
I called ballys directly and was told since i signed the contract i was legally binded to it and i couldn't cancel. The person i talked to was rude and he told me if i didn't pay then i would be sent to collections and you wouldn't want that would you? So i paid my membership for the 3 years and went to other local ballys but i was completely unsatisfied with ballys and there services. 1200 dollars down the drain.

Violation of consumer rights
Bally's is closing this location on the 31st of October, 2008. We were told that we would be able to cancel our contract due to this closing. However, when we called the headquarters, they said that since there's another Bally's within 25 miles, we can't cancel. The other club is inconvenient and it is inferior to the one we have been visiting. We feel that this is a violation of our rights as consumers--they are basically forcing us to pay for something we don't want.

What a rip off
In April of 1990, I went to the Waterford Balley's (which at that time was called Vic Tanney) with my sister-in-law to see what it was like. The girl that met with us talked me into joining. After I filled all the paperwork out, she told me that I needed to bring back a canceled check to verify my checking account. She also informed me that if I wanted to cancel that I should contact them within 4 days. The following day I called and canceled the membership. I was then under the impression that everything was taken care of.
Now 15 years later, as I am trying to get my finances in order to buy a house, I find out that I was turned over to a collection agency and I owe over $1100.00 to Balley�s. 15 years later!

Terrible experience
I got suckered into a 3 year (!!) contract with Bally's which the only way i can get out of is to either pay the rest of the contract up front or move 50 miles away from the nearest location. I think this is poor customer service to not let people know up front what kind of financial commitment they are making especially with the limited hours and locations. I regret ever leaving 24hr fitness. I also got a few free sessions with a personal trainer who didn't show up most of the time and then had to wait around for 30-40 minutes for them to find someone who could take me.

customer service rip off
I applied for membership and paid the $75 dollars down payment. I paid 1/2 in cash and 1/2 in debit card. After few days, the system showed that my down payment was not paid. The person in charge was named Micheal and currently the manager at Glendale or some else where. It has been over 2 years now and still it showed this error. I have not been to the gym over a year now and finally went few weeks ago to solve this issue, the current manager at Rosemead T.J explained that the down payment was a check that was refunded back to the account. First of all, I did not pay the full full payment of $75 with my debit card, second, my bank statement still shows the amount being deducted from bally. Now they are asking me for paying the full amount of $75 dowmpayment. They even took my bally card!!
My advise to look out for micheal, he is such a rip off!

Sex in the bathrooms in steamrooms at Bally's in Downey
Apparently Bally's allows all kinds of sexual activity (paid and upaid) take place in its gyms, but it's so hard up for money that it looks the other way. Look at all these links. You will be disgusted and will never want to set foot in that place ever again:

Fraud and cheating
Does anyone know how legally bining the BALLY FITNESS Contract is? Like many other people, my college-age daughter signed the Bally contract without realizing she was obligating herself to $26.00 for 3 years. She was also originally told she could put the membership on hold and just pay $10 per month, but that is no longer an option either. They told her she could cancel, but neglected to tell her there was a time limit (60 days, I think) to cancel. She just wanted to do a Pilates class that they subsequently discontinued. Is there any way out of this contact? Will her credit score be affected if she just stops paying?

ilicit activities
I am a former Bally trainer. I used to work for Riadh Hamdi. I had heard rumors that he would let other trainers let people pay them for sex. He used to do the same. I heard that he would also do couples. He usually did this with the people that he trained. I'm glad I left and that I am no longer affiliated with such a disgusting company. I guess Bally's will do anything to save their sinking ship.
