You can imagine the culture shock when I found out that I had to pay $366/yr for the conditions described in the above post. But in short I learned how to cope with things simply by going to the gym at other than peak times and utilizing the advice in the phrase "when in Rome . . . . ".

I still had my membership in Bally's up until last year but the closest one is in the Northern Orlando area about a hour and a half round trip drive, a little to much travel for an hour workout. When my membership expired last year, Bally's sent me an offer to renew my membership for $125/yr. I wouldn't mind their opening a local facility either in or close to TV.
Have you contacted them??
