[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I joined this facility while working in DC for a 6-8 week period.  The workout room is OKAY (small and not too much in terms of variety of equipment.) People are friendly enough. The treadmills are GREAT, top of the line. And the cycling teachers are lots of fun.

Why the negative rating? Because of the deceptive membership practices! (In fact, I plan to contact the Better Business Bureau).

I explained to them that I would be in DC for only 6-8 weeks. (In fact, I chose the YMCA b/c so many clubs have deceptive policies and if you can’t trust the YMCA – Young Men’s CHRISTIAN Association, who can you trust?)  I was told that there is no long term commitment – I need only give 2 weeks notice before I leave to cancel the membership. I did thi s- and was contacted by the membership coordinator and told that they do not pro-rate your last month, so I have to pay for the entire month. (Sounds to me then like I had to give a month’s notice – which I would have been happy to do had this been explained.)

So – BE CAREFUL. “Christian” in the name does not mean they are any  more honest in their dealings than any other fitness facility.

This person is obviously referring to the main BCC YMCA athletic center.  The YMCA has a separate center a half mile away called Ayrlawn which houses the preschool.[/quote]
