quick_spider Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I'm about to change Gyms because the LA fitness is too far from the new house.Looking at David Lloyd as it's got lots of facilities and is pretty close. Has anyone experience of haggling with them?They've offered £55 each per month for peak membership and waived the joining fee (£200) The sales guy reckons they can't negotiate on monthly price and assures me that it's only this month he can waive the joining fee... There' me and my girlfriend too, so I'd have thought they could do a joint membership cheaper too...Seems like a lot of bull to me as others have told me they'll negotiate monthly prices, and I've never seen the joining fee written down (There's nothing like offering someone a free lunch that was already going to be free anyway!)Anyone got any experience with them?TaJon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boswell Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) thats a very good deal! And in answer to your question, yes they do have a joining fee. I highly recommend david lloyds. Edited July 28, 2008 by Boswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
