Beware of High Pressure

Some facilities will be very high pressure in terms of getting you to sign up the first day for a long term contract. Be wary of these types of places. Never sign-up immediately. Always try to use the facility once to see how it is; inspect the locker rooms and other areas to see if things are well maintained. If a place won´t let you review the contract and membership details and come back later without a large hassle, then it´s probably not the place for you. If all else fails and you just don´t feel comfortable, walk out, you can always go back later. In general these high pressure tactics will be found least in high-end facilities as these facilities are focused on service not sales.
