Do not sign a contract with Bally's. Signed up in Crossgates mall supposedly with the person that was also to be my personal trainer. First day, no personal trainer, gave me someone else, he showed me the machines and told me to call him when I was finished. Second time, no personal trainer, was told he out of town, but was contacted by trainer and he stated he had injured his ankle, playing basketball. Want to cancel, corporate office told me because they are individually owned, termination of the contract at the discretion... read more

Think the gym is well located, handy to Dicks and fresh, healthy food at a nearby cafe. I had a good experience with the yoga class instructors although the trainer I truly liked left and I was never able to identify another who was right for me during the daytime hours. I understand there have been many changes since then. However, there is something that each person who joins should be aware. When I signed my contract, I had an understanding with the manager that when my period of membership ended there would be no more au... read more

COMPLETE TATOL SCAM!! Which I would have seen this sooner, this place is a complete and total scam, I agree with every body that had complains about it. I just like some of the people above was approach by a muscle guy with a nice guy smile, that later turn into a sorry you sign it grim. The staff is not helpful, the few times I went I got a really bad feeling about it. They talk and talk you into signing the their contract and then use the fact that "you sign it we have it in paper" to SLIM, WORK OUT, the money right out yo... read more

I met people with similar challenges. Working alongside them at Bally helped me stay dedicated.

This is a 3 star gym in what will be for many members a 5 star location. Especially around the holidays, the chance to break up a shopping trip with your choice of a workout is a real luxury, compared with spending a solid several hours fighting crowds. The facility itself could be considered average; it is clean with good availability of equipment as another reviewer said. There aren't any extras here though -- there's no pool or sauna such as at many Bally clubs, and certainly no racquetball courts as a few have. Unlike ot... read more

I signed up for the free week long guest pass to check it out. This gym is really clean and there is never a wait for the machines here. The location is convenient (it's in the mall after all) and you can treat yourself to some clothes after working out! It's a two level gym-the first floor has all the weights and mats for weight training and toning as well as the studio for most of the classes. The second level has all the cardio machines-bikes and treadmills and ellipticals-and there is plenty of them! There is also a smal... read more

The best trainer at this gym is Edson! Ask for him if you really want results
