Secrets That The Fitness & Diet Industry Don't Want You To Know

Beware of Signing Up At Your Local East Bay Health Clubs

I interviewed my buddy Pico on what to look out for before signing a long term contract at your local East Bay health club. We are coming up on January 1st and I thought it would be important to educate you on the tricks that most East Bay health clubs will do to you when you enter their facility.

Before signing up at your local East Bay health club or 24 Hour Fitness club, you need to beware of a couple of things:

• Beware of minimal down payments (like a $1 or $0 down payments) because this basically means you will pay a big monthly payment.
• Beware of signing a long term agreement. (most clubs will try to lock you in on a 3-year committment)  The hope is that you will sign up on this long term agreement and that you will never come back to use the facility or that you will cancel your membership.
• Beware of the cancellation policy. (Most East Bay health clubs won't allow to cancel unless you move 25 miles or more away from the club)

I had a friend who moved away from a 24 Hour Fitness club that ended up being about 24.5 miles away.  He was unable to cancel his membership because he was technically close enough to use their facility.

The reason why most big coorperate gyms are like this is because they just care about getting your money and not helping you get the results you are looking for.

Before you decide on a local East Bay health club, refer back to this video before joining any gym in January.

Watch Out For Health Club Scams in the East Bay

As we are entering the new year, most people are going to start looking into getting gym memberships at their local health clubs in the east bay. I think it's awesome to start the new year with a fitness program, but don't let the health clubs in the east bay fool you!

A lot of the the time gyms like 24 Hour Fitness, Bally Total Fitness, & other corporate gyms will try to take advantage of the consumer during the busiest year in our industry.

Here are a fews that the health clubs in the east bay will try to rip you off.

• $0 enrollement fee is the best way that most health clubs will drive traffic. When there is a $0 enrollement fee, usually means a big monthly payment.
• Most health clubs will set you up with an uncertified trainer that doesn't know how to train anyone, including themselves
• They will sell you the "bells & whistles" of the facility and then totally forget about you as a paying customer.
• They don't care about you getting results, just your monthly payments

 So beware of these fake fitness professionals inside your health club, they are just salesman that want your hard earned money and don't care about you, your family, or your fitness goals.

There are alternatives to getting in shape than paying money to a local health club:

• Find your local independent east bay personal trainer (they are great because they specialize in getting you results that you are looking for.
• Just get active and start walking with a friend, this cost absolutely nothing!
• Find your local east bay boot camp (these bootcamps are a fraction of the cost of one on one training and usually is provided in a fun and motivating enviroment.
