Downtown Athletic Club

Wish I never would have joined. Years ago I had a gym membership and the club did not fulfill their contract, so I quit and it was a huge hassle to get them to stop billing me. So when I joined Downtown Athletic club this was the first question I asked. I signed up for 6 months and paid in advance. I was told this would be a one time charge as I was not going to be in town after that time. However I was charged at the beginning of my 6th month, at a higher rate than I was originally quoted had I paid monthly rather than 6 months up front. When I phoned to discuss, the rep interrupted me every time I tried to speak and treated me like I was some sort of trash. The gym itself is nice and clean, but not a lot of stations for serious weight training during busy times. I didn't care for the pressure to use the personal trainers. I actually stopped going before my membership was up because the trainer I used one time made me feel uncomfortable. I wish I never would have joined, I feel scammed.…

Really?. Really? I cannot believe City Search allows factless slander such as this to be posted. The incident is 100% ficticious, no racist comments were made, no one's membership was threatened and I doubt the person who wrote it is or ever was a member. Anyone who is familiar with the Downtown Athletic Club knows about our ethnically diverse and culturally rich team of employees and members. This is one of the things that makes us such a great place. Anyone who reads this is welcome to come by and visit our award winning facility.…

Terrible management. The manager of this gym is awful and phony. I confronted him about snide and racist comments he was making to other employees about other gym members and he threatened to cancel my gym membership. Needless to say I was glad to leave this gym.

Also, the membership staff pads the reviews here with fluff to boost the rating. There are other, much better gyms downtown where you aren't working out while inhaling the fumes from a 10 story parking garage.…
