As we continue with this site I'd like to hear your gym horror stories. Tell me about the bad customer service, the filthy bathrooms, the sneaky managers with the fine print on their contracts.

Here is a recent review of the World Gym (Uptown) in Chicago from CenterStage. Read through the reviews and you'll see all the things you should look out for if you ever want to consider joining a gym.

Here's a tip, if there are this many bad reviews, pick another gym. Or even better, buy a heart rate monitor and start a walking or running program with some friends.

An ex-gym owner reveals the dirty secrets of the fitness business. This blog is a warning to all fellow sedentary people. Do not join a gym. They will keep taking your money long after you've stopped going. The only people who should join a gym are fit people who have a track record of going to the gym regularly. that's it! No one else should be joining a gym. Work out at home. Walk around the block. Rent some exercise tapes from the library.
