I read the review below, and as a member of GOB, I disagree...

The other gyms in that area are :

Gold's Gym- more expensive, and a huge enrollment fee.... they advertise with a yellow sign a deal, but once you are in there, there is no deal...

LA Fitness- the cost is cheaper, but the bathrooms are gross, and you have to wait for cardio machine.

There are other so called "gyms", but they are personal training gyms only..

There are a few health clubs, which are much more expensive (ex JCC, Ravinia, etc...)

This one is the WORST gym you can ever pick.

First
They talk you in to sign up 1 year contract form which you can never get out no matter what you do

Second
The gym is not better than any other place you can pick

Third
The gym is incredibly expensive for what they offer - you have to pay 50$ a month !!! for a year !!! which makes 600$ a year for something you can get everywhere else and after all...when you realize how screwed you are and how you could have picked a better place and decide to cancel the membership - SORRY...NO WAY...you are tied to pay us no matter if you use it or not. Even if something unexpected happens to you...and you are not able to go anymore...you're still paying.
