Ok, well I don’t know if you all are familiar with this branch of clubs that have popped up in Tulsa, but they are becoming trash. I started working out there almost 2 summers ago, when it was nice and not very busy. Now, after several buyouts of other gyms, the place is over crowded, they do not seem to care about their current members (only new ones), and have started to charge for towels.
Ok, now for my rant. I have never paid for towels at anytime during my membership and I was actually told that towels are free. Now when they first approached me of this, I talked to the person who setup my account who quickly denied saying that to me, and I quote, “I have never told anyone that, you’ve always had to pay for towels.”
Next, the overcrowding. There are more people in the gym when I try to go, then there are in Tulsa. I think people from other cities may be coming in because it’s ridiculous.
Lastly, the upkeep. There was a point where one of the basketball goals was not able to have the rim be square because of one single bolt, yet it took several months to fix. They also choose not to fix other small things in a timely manner, instead giving away PLASMA TVs! for inviting new people in. I mean seriously? Why not keep your current customers first and then try to expand. Sounds like AOL in one of my last research papers from college. Anyhow, I will be done with them in a bit and have the gym at my work that will suffice. Exercise and be healthy.
