Proud member of Bally’s! 9/9/09

Tony is a long-time member at Bally’s and works out in serious gyms like Gold’s gym and Bally’s. (He calls them Dude Gym.) I have been a member of Lifetime where I enjoy towels being provided and other amenities in locker room. (I call them Chic Gym and Mockingbird location being Ultimate Chic Gym.) I enjoy going to the gym together and we have been using guest pass for each other’s gym and things got increasing less fun when Lifetime changed guest policy earlier this year (once every 60 days from all locations). Bally’s guest pass is only good once a year at the same location (usually good for a week).

Last Saturday when I used a guest pass for Bally’s in San Antonio, the guy at the front desk said he could add me up to Tony’s membership with $20 a month. Tony signed up so long time ago and he has national access with annual due. He has complied with his contract/obligation so long ago and he is keeping very good deal with Bally’s. So I was being added with same benefits of nation-wide access. Bally’s in Plano is in very good location. It is on my commute route, between the train station and home. This is quite lucky because I only drive 5 miles one-way or so. If I work out at Mockingbird in the morning or early afternoon, the train schedule suites me. However I have to be catching a ride with Rosemary at 4:30 in order to be catching a decent train if I work out in the afternoon. I anticipate this will happen more in the spring semester. Sometimes I am not ready for the next day that early.
