Health Club Memberships -- Trial Scams
Health Club Memberships
Depending on the area your in right now, some of the clubs in the area may be offering "trial" memberships. Now, these can be a good thing.
However, when visiting the club during the "trial" period. There are a few things that you need to look out for:
1. Make sure that the club employees don't engage in any "high pressure" scenarios. Telling you that you can "trade in" your pass for a certain discount is most certainly a scam. Don't fall for it.
2. Health Club Memberships, especially the trial ones, can have some sticky wording. Make sure you know what you are getting yourself into.
3. When you are evaluating the club before you pick up your health club membership, try to get a training session from one of the personal trainers for free. Many times you'll be able to get a great handle of the club itself during this session.
