They won't give you a rate unless they lock you into a room and try to heavy- sell ya. Can't get a workout in without trainers bothering you. Yawn, usual gym nonsense. I signed up with a free rate and then they gave me a discounted one after that that jumped up shortly after that. Predatory pricing, and impossible to cancel. Ended up going down the street to Wicker Park Fitness, much better people, pricing, gym.

Sales managers screw you - Choose a YMCA over these scammers. Like some others have already stated, cancelation and contract policy is scam-like at best, predatory and forceful at worst. Although there are options that help you pay at your own pace and keep you safe from their predatory "12 month contract" they don't tell you about them until its too late and you've already sold your soul to them through the convenience of a point of sale system when you sign up. Even when you are given "grace" with their "freeze" policy - they still charge you up the *ss if you don't cancel in time, of course, no one notifies you to do so on time. They do not care if you can't pay, they will send you to collections and lawyer up according to their VERY predatory contract which they do not disclose to you when you sign up. Read the fine print, or be charged thousands of dollars "with" your coerced consent -_- I feel bad for all the people I've had to repeatedly call and email for the past two months....

Member Beware: Very shady cancellation practices. SO tried cancelling 30 days in advance - charged. Then 30 days later (60 days if total of notification) tried cancelling - they said everything was good - still charged. Was told to cancel credit card just to make them stop charging. Horrible practices.

Scam cancellation policy “30 days” notice doesn’t mean you could end up paying an extra 30 days. You can end up paying and extra 60 days because even when you cancel, they’re going to charge you *AGAIN* your next billing for a future month
