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 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.

The mildew Bally’s …
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!!!
Not sure when this …
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 facilities …
The facilities would have to be designed to remain clean. I think they wold be better off to have shower doors which could be cleaned better than curtains.
What should we expect for $99.00 a month? I used to pay out $60.00 a month at a ballys in San Diego CA 14 years ago.
Tell em to get shower doors and pay people who care enough to keep the place up to par.
Get a membership to a real gym.

I worked out there for about a year and never would even consider using the showers or sinks—what a dump!

well now they have no shower curtains but still you are correct in saying that bally’s is raunchy. they fired all the illegal aliens recently and now it is even worse. They also got rid of a lifegaurd i hated but little did i know that she was the only one who kept the pool water nice. I got some in my mouth the other day and it tasted like dirty dishwater.
I bought a …
I bought a membership here a while ago and then I noticed that I would get rashes on my arms if I worked out on certain pieces of equipment. It’s just as bad as riding the Metro or Ride On buses…same thing…bad smells stick to your clothes and you develop rashes that last for like three weeks.
