I purchased a deal on living social of 8 p/t sessions for $19. When I went in for the initial consultation they did not try and upsell a gym membership to me. There was a different trainer each time I went in and no consistency with my program. I also found it hard to change the sessions times around and had to book in quite in advance. It wasn't the best gym experience I have had.

I started off loving this business - being able to book in for as many sessions as you like, plus regular reviews, is very good vale. But it's hard to get a session at peak times, the quality of trainers is variable and turnover seems to be high, the bathroom facilites aren't great (no lockers and only one shower) and the equipment is starting to look pretty tired. Also, they've started doing a very hard sell on muli- vitamin products, which is a major turn-off. I think if I had my daytimes free and could go at a time when it wasn't busy, I could get maximum value, but basically the hard sell on the Juice plus pill has driven me away.

Approximate cost: $400 for 10 weeks
