I got the complete opposite vibe from LAF when I toured there. Another thing I've found really frustrating about LAF is the swimming. There are no policies about the pool--no rules for lane sharing, and to keep track of who's waiting for a lane. It just screams potential chaos to me, and although it's a bit longer than OAC's pool, it is only 3 lanes wide, and not to mention, it isn't open nearly as late in the day as OAC. 24 hour access is a plus, and OAC takes the cake. OAC is also substantially less expensive, and makes memberships affordable for families, single parents and couples. Even a single membership is nearly 15 bucks cheaper each month.

Its really a shame that they have such a pushy sales team - just gives me a really bad feeling like promises will be made but not kept. It also really seems unecessary as the club is beautiful and really sells itself. This is Seattle/Ballard where I think they could be a really great club if they were upfront and REAL wtih good customer service over tricks to get you to sign up right then. I am interested in any other scoop on pricing. In the last week I was quoted $249 one time fee $49.99 mo OR $149 one time fee $54.99 mo. I was also told you could split the $249 one time fee with four others but later found out that if they are not in your household and using same credit card for all fees each month it won't work. I know some people got in for $30 to $39 a month with no down payment - but now the price has gone up. The WAY PUSHY sales team says the price might go up any day - they have no notice as to when corporate will raise the price so they really push hard to get you to sign up right then. <br><br>My main goal is to find a gym with a good kids club. I toured OAC and their child care program is clearly excellent. Their staff seems good and genuinely interested in the kids. LA fitness provides a nice big sunny kids club but its clear the staff are just there to be present and are not real ly into watching/engaging the kids. The plan is to turn on the big TV. Too bad we can't transport the OAC staff, &amp; philosophy over to the the shiny new facility of LA fitness. Price for kids club right now is $10 a month for up to 2 hrs care each day. closed from 12 to 4 each day but they say they might expand hours.<br><br>Comment #45 above from CJ has an interesting idea about joining the Shoreline LA fitness for $29.99 mo and that gives you access to Ballard. Two questions about this - is there a one time fee with the $29.99 mo at Shoreline? Will the promise that you can use the Ballard location really work and will you get all the same ammenities? I might be willing to try LA if I can get in at 29.99 with no down by signing at the Shoreline. Still have a bad feeling that I am compromising my values by joining such a plastic club and feel I should be supporting the good quality real Ballard/Seattlites of OAC!<br><br>I am going to check back here for more comments feedback before I decide - if the price at LA goes up it goes up - I just go with OAC if that happens - let me know what you all think!", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2009-03-07_13:18:18", "killed": false, "user_key": "70755e2a1037df39adf9626ffd201441", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": null, "votable": true, "date": "8 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "7866751": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "Wow...

Other than that the only real difference is the cardio equipment have tv\'s attached, the lockers have electronic locks and apparently there are towels available if needed. <br><br>Right off the bat I can tell you that the most negative aspect of this club is that it is going to be CROWDED.  The workout floor is a little more crammed in than the north Seattle gym and judging by how many people there were on opening day it will be difficult to get a cardio machine.  I found myself waiting for weight machines as well and this is only day 1.  Although comparatively fancy, the locker room is too small for the size of the gym and you find yourself elbowing up to folks while changing,  it\'s like this in the north Seattle location as well so I change at home.  <br><br>These were just initial impressions, short on time,  I will update on my next workout tomorrow.

There was a major communication breakdown between members and club staffers since the inception of the new club and it hasn’t gotten any better. This article says the club opened today but a trainer that I spoke to today said they opened at 4pm last night. Just another example of how poorly this branch of the company is run from daily execution to communication. That being said, it is a beautiful gym! Yes it will be crowded for a while until the polish wears off and all the new members and old members who don’t come anymore try to re-motivate themselves but in a month they will fade away like New Years resolutioners. All gyms are busy at peak times and this gym will be no different, but it is the best gym in Seattle. Hands down!</div>\

Here are a few things I learned:<br><br>- pool is lap swim always, no classes etc<br>- no additional fees for court times, classes or swimming<br>- child care is $10 / month, you can leave the child for up to 2hrs while you workout.<br>- no squash courts<br>- towel service is included<br>- all cardio equipment has tv monitors<br><br>I\'m really considering joining however I\'d like to see how flexible they are on the up front and monthly fees.  I was quoted about $200 to join at $49.99 / month.  Seems a little steep.  I encourage everyone to continue to post rates they are quoted.  The whole thing feels a little shady ... the guy was VERY eager for my to sign up on the spot (obviously on commission) and he couldn\'t provide me a printed rate sheet.</div>\

But,  if you like to watch TV while working out and can\'t bring your own towel, than pay the extra money and join the signature club!

Doesn\'t make it easy for the family to head to the gym together on weekends. So far, I am disappointed. No one has even called me to tell me it opened yet (I was told someone would call me since the open date kept changing and to schedule my personal training sessions). I wanted to workout today and then couldn\'t because of the limited childcare. I am bummed that I may have to cancel my entire membership and training package due to false information when I signed up.

I asked what I would be getting from them that I\'m not getting from 24 Hour Fitness. All they could say was Towel Service. Well for a 6x what I pay on a monthly basis at 24 Hour Fitness, I could not see the value. My friend said that if they could lower the price to $39.95 a month then she would sign up immediately. They would not go below $55 a month and said that in the new few days it would raise to $76 a  month. Then they tried to guilt us by saying that joining their club would help us with our weight-loss goals but couldn\'t tell us exactly how it would.

I got the complete opposite vibe from LAF when I toured there. Another thing I\'ve found really frustrating about LAF is the swimming. There are no policies about the pool--no rules for lane sharing, and to keep track of who\'s waiting for a lane. It just screams potential chaos to me, and although it\'s a bit longer than OAC\'s pool, it is only 3 lanes wide, and not to mention, it isn\'t open nearly as late in the day as OAC. 24 hour access is a plus, and OAC takes the cake. OAC is also substantially less expensive, and makes memberships affordable for families, single parents and couples. Even a single membership is nearly 15 bucks cheaper each month. And its not run by meat heads, and their Front Desk staff is wonderful and takes the time to learn names, behaviors and makes members feel like they are more than just paying customers.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-7866750" class="dsq-comment-message">I am so torn trying to decide about joining LA Fitness in Ballard versus joining Olympic Ath Clb. Its really a shame that they have such a pushy sales team - just gives me a really bad feeling like promises will be made but not kept. It also really seems unecessary as the club is beautiful and really sells itself. This is Seattle/Ballard where I think they could be a really great club if they were upfront and REAL wtih good customer service over tricks to get you to sign up right then. I am interested in any other scoop on pricing. In the last week I was quoted $249 one time fee $49.99 mo OR $149 one time fee $54.99 mo. I was also told you could split the $249 one time fee with four others but later found out that if they are not in your household and using same credit card for all fees each month it won\'t work. I know some people got in for $30 to $39 a month with no down payment - but now the price has gone up. The WAY PUSHY sales team says the price might go up any day - they have no notice as to when corporate will raise the price so they really push hard to get you to sign up right then. <br><br>My main goal is to find a gym with a good kids club. I toured OAC and their child care program is clearly excellent. Their staff seems good and genuinely interested in the kids. LA fitness provides a nice big sunny kids club but its clear the staff are just there to be present and are not real ly into watching/engaging the kids. The plan is to turn on the big TV. Too bad we can\'t transport the OAC staff, &amp; philosophy over to the the shiny new facility of LA fitness. Price for kids club right now is $10 a month for up to 2 hrs care each day. closed from 12 to 4 each day but they say they might expand hours.<br><br>Comment #45 above from CJ has an interesting idea about joining the Shoreline LA fitness for $29.99 mo and that gives you access to Ballard. Two questions about this - is there a one time fee with the $29.99 mo at Shoreline? Will the promise that you can use the Ballard location really work and will you get all the same ammenities? I might be willing to try LA if I can get in at 29.99 with no down by signing at the Shoreline. Still have a bad feeling that I am compromising my values by joining such a plastic club and feel I should be supporting the good quality real Ballard/Seattlites of OAC!<br><br>I am going to check back here for more comments feedback before I decide - if the price at LA goes up it goes up - I just go with OAC if that happens - let me know what you all think!</div>\

But in the one month that I have been a member, the pool has been CLOSED for 10 days. Yesterday they said that it would be open today, and sure enough it is CLOSED. The pool is great, but if you want to rely on pool availability I suggest joining Olympic Athletic Club. I was deciding between the 2 gyms and was swayed by the 25 yard lanes and the skylights, but those don\'t do me any good if I can\'t swim in it. We\'ll see if they open it tomorrow. So far for $57/month this is a total rip off.</div>\

They set everything up to milk every last penny they can from you, it\'s a ridiculous process. With the other facilities that are around, I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO EVEN MY WORST ENEMY!  The people there seem friendly until you actually start to use the "amenities" (if you can even call it that) you were promised when signing up. They tell you that you can bring any person up to twice a year for free to workout; what they don\'t tell you is, if your looking to workout with that person, you will have to wait an hour while they interrogate him/her. The guy actually told me, "Why don\'t you go workout while I take care of him?" As if I was going to leave him there to be harassed by this idiot. <br><br>I was told that I could freeze my account if I was leaving on a business trip or was going out of town when I signed up (I though that was great). I had to leave for a family emergency a couple months later and tried to freeze my account and guess what, it takes 20 days before the account actually get put on hold! I mean, what kind of BS is that. I have to pay for the month I\'m gone before it freezes when I\'m going to be back? <br><br>People generally consider me a nice, passive person, but I cannot keep my mouth shut on this monstrosity of a company.

I understand Chlorine is toxic too, but I have never had problems with chlorine.  If you want to do it properly, use UV light backed with small amounts of chlorine,  I have been swimming there two months, and have to stop.  I am having horrible rashes breaking out, every time I swim there. This is only recently, so something is different.  You need to send the water out to be professionally anaylized.  I talked to the manager of the club, and all I get is the feeling that they are doing everything perfectly, and it is MY fault if I am having rashes.</div>\
