Fitness connection in general is a cash cow, I have worked for them in the past, and I can tell you that their mission is sales first; quality and member satisfaction last.
The memberships are the cheapest you will find any where, so if you are on a tight budget this is the place for you. Realize though, you get what you pay for, and you will be proselytized ""every"" time you go in.
DO NOT under any circumstances purchase a personal trainer. I can not stress this enough. Their trainers are the most under-qualified in the industry. if you are investing 40 plus dollars an hour on a service you had better check that service providers credentials! Yet people seldom do.
Look if you feel like you are being sold, you are. high pressure sales are high pressure for one reason and one reason alone, and that is... drum roll please... Profit! Yes, profit for the company, that fitness director sitting in front of you, is on commission only--though he will tell you otherwise. The Fitness manager at Baytown lies more than any person I have ever met, he has no soul, and he wants your money.
