Bally Total Fitness Club - MILDEW - Rockville, MD

11820 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852 Discusting showers. Their shower curtains here always have mildew. You can see the orange & yellow mildew. About three (3) or so yrs ago, the tiles were pure mold. Now new tiles have minimal mold. I always ask myself "why the hell do I keep coming back"? Few yrs ago I phoned the facilities person & I first asked how often do they clean the showers, and the person said "on a daily basis". HAAAA, that's when I told he/she that I made a video of it & would send it to corporate. Now it's Aug2008 and I'm posting it to YouTube and will send to corporate. I want people to be aware of the discust before buying a membership at this location. WARNING:
DO NOT BUY A MEMBERSHIP AT THIS BALLY'S LOCATION. VERY SLIPPERY if you don't use footwear. How long ago do you think these curtains were cleaned? (301) 984-6262 (301)984-6262 301-984-6262. BEWARE OF THIS LOCATION! LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS OF THIS VIDEO (NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE). Song: Survivor: The Search is Over.

And it's now LA fitness. Which is also lame. The one on the pike is a STD factory. The ones at Wheaton and Kentlands is as gross !!!

@Molego2011 Yep, and I continue to call it Bally by accident, lol. I definitely don't care for the Wheaton showers. Kentlands I've always found the cleanest and still do, but they have definitely cut down on the cleaning staff compared to 4yrs ago to both of these. Keep pumping though :-)

Not sure when this video was taken or if was the men's/women's. If it's the men's, then the locker room has been redone. It still seems like a dungeon to me, but they removed the shower curtains and it's an 8 shower stall room now. The whole place definitely needs a COMPLETE overhaul, but the showers aren't completely disgusting. I wear flipflops in any public shower I go into no matter how clean. But I don't expect much more for the $250/year I pay. I pay little, so expect little.

The mildew Bally's video was taken 08-04-08 in the women's shower area. That Bally's has been around at minimum 1982 if not before. You're right...it DOES seem like a dungeon. Definitely needs a major upgrade. They get dues from members, why not use the dues for an upgrade and have them feel like coming back!!!

If you really want to consider going to this Ballys, the phone # is in the beginning of the video.

[Molego2011]

And yet we can't go to the LA fitness across from White Flint mall.

@thedog09 it's falling apart

[Molego2011]

That whole place needs to be remodel. The mens lockerroom is nasty. The employees are lazy, as soon as I found another gym with a pool, I am out of that hell whole.

For the people that say it's not bad as it used to, go check out Fitness First up the street and you'll see what are real Gym is supposed to look like and guess what? I only pay $19/month for membership there.... Does anyone know if Ballys is still on the verge of Bankruptcy?

they took out the shower curtains and have someone always spraying down the floor in the locker room. its not as bad as it used to be but there is still a lot of room for improvement
