It's a really bad place, especially for beginners and women for the following reasons: 1. NO PAYMENT PLAN/ FEES STRUCTURE: It's different for everyone (And they specially try to mooch money off women and newbies). I have seen really well-maintained and fully functional gyms having a fixed payment plan for everyone. But in this place, they quote the fees based on your status. Also, they do not have an admission form, which is obviously very important in order to know whether you have any health conditions, etc. 2. DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR GOALS: If you are a woman, they automatically assume that you're there because you want to get in shape even if you're not overweight. 3. NO PROPER GUIDANCE: If you take personal training, maybe it will be different. But with general training, they will just tell you what to do and whether you do it right or wrong, nobody cares and nobody will correct you. (I joined a different gym after this one, and I am not taking personal training there either but at least they guide about the form and movement and watch me do it just 1 time and then they correct if anything is wrong and then go train other people, it hardly takes a minute and everyone does that after all we pay for general training). But in this place, no training is provided. Even if they see you doing stuff wrong, they won't tell you. 4. MONEY MONGERS: Because of lack of guidance or I should say zero guidance, I had difficulty understanding stuff and sometimes ended up doing things wrong. So instead of correcting me on the spot, the owner waited for me to finish and later on guilt tripped me by saying that I am not able to learn so I should take personal training. How exactly am I supposed to learn without being taught? And even the receptionist is involved in all this. She tells everyone to take personal training. My BMI is just fine and the reason I joined the gym is because I wanted my cardiovascular health to improve and wanted to work on my overall strength. Is personal training really needed for this? But as I said, nobody cares about your goals they just want your money. And they'll keep on calling you for months after you leave trying to see if there's still scope to fool you. 5. STINKY: There's no ventilation whatsoever. The air conditioners don't work and nobody bothers to maintain them.
