So last year I joined Balley's total fitness. The deal was that I pay full price for two years, and after my two years is up my membership will be $4.50 a month for the duration of the time I want to stay with the club. Which of course is not a bad deal. I ended up paying the two years off up front, on a credit card. A year goes by...Yesterday I go to the gym and have my card swipped, the chick behind the counter tells me my membership has expired and I owe them $40.

Now thank god that credit card expired or they would have billed me a full monthly payment, and I probably wouldn't have picked up on it at all. These jizz junkies screwed friends of mine, and now they tried screwing me. Fuck you Balley's!! I curse you Enron style you bastards!!

Credit cards are fucking evil. That is awsome though that they didn't get a chance to rip them off. Fuck companies, fuck credit cards, and fuck Balleys.



"Choices always were a problem for you. What you need is someone strong to guide you. Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow, what you need is someone strong to use you.. like me, like me. If you want to get your soul to heaven, trust in me .Don't judge or question.You are broken now, but faith can heal you. Just do everything I tell you to do. Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow. Let me lay my holy hand upon you. My Gods will becomes me. When he speaks out, he speaks through me. He has needs like I do. We both want to rape you. Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life. Open my eyes and blind me with your light and your lies." - Tool
Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver." -Deep Thought, Jack Handey

Actually if you know how to use them properly (NEVER CARRY A BALANCE) there are plenty of EXCELLENT credit cards out there!

Look at Discover Card, they PAY YOU for using the damned thing. One percent doesn;t sound like a lot but it adds up at the end of the year. Then you've got cards with things like air miles and price protection and warranty extention, etc. etc.

FU to fitness clubs with scam-based memberships, sure. But credit card companies? To be honest, the realy problem with credit cards are usually the users, not the companies.

Just kidding, man. Good point on the credit cards. But Ballys is still fucking evil. I've been paying outta my ass there for the last two years.


God loves you.It's everyone else that thinks you're an asshole.

Balley's is sort of like Cell phone companies, at least in the way they try to rope you into long term committments.

Then again at least with cell phones you generally get what was advertised - a wireless communications device.

The reports I'm hearing back from Bally's however is that they're not quite like the ads in real life - no hot chicks with super erect nipples riding stairmasters in the desert.

Damn!

Caveat Emptor.

well, i'm not sure how i feel about bally's, they're ok, and i don't really notice the $12 that gets charged to my card each month, and maybe if they actually start having the classes that i see on the tv i'll use my membership. :p
