Rock Island Gym

I signed up… or so I thought, NOT. The owner never had time to meet with me to discuss the terms so I met with another member, who used to be an employee. I insisted on leaving a check to get things started. That was a mistake. I «paid» the annual fee, that I was dead against and one month of what I thought was a family membership. The annual fee is $ 150 of which I got a $ 50 discount for having waited about a month to meet with someone to get signed up… I use the words signed up loosely. I continued to text the owner after that to try to clarify what these fees and terms were all about and I got very little answers and more confusing information. I was then texted and advised that the monthly fees were in fact $ 60 for my husband and I and not 45. I never used the facility even once and she refused to give back one cent. Honestly, she should never have cashed the check because I had not agreed to anything. When asked to provide a copy of the terms or policy… Well, I’m still waiting. I was willing to pay two times the monthly amount of a modern gym that would have modern conveniences, like tanning, group classes and even a sauna… because of its geographical convenience. However, being that the property is for sale I do not recommend anyone to join at this time.
Also, annual fees and membership fees went out with the nineties. Just saying. I think small claims court is calling my name.

I joined this gym in May (2011), it is a small «home made» gym That is behind a home. This is the first gym I have ever been to, and although it does not have the «new» updated equipment, it does have a decent amount of equipment, TVs, Syrius radio (all controlled by the individuals using the gym)
I personally really enjoy going here the owner Angela is extremely nice and the rates are reasonable. I also like the fact that because it is generally in a smaller town that usually when I go workout its just me and the radio (one or two people there at a time if any) so its nice to be able to go workout and not be self conscious or have that intimidation you might get going to a bigger gym filled with more people if you are just starting out.
Angela also offers personal training, if you are ready for a jump start in your fitness!
