Popular local health club provides its members with 20 locations; each offers personal training services and numerous group exercise classes.
Avoid at all cost.

I am going out of my way to express dissatisfaction with the gym which I do rarely, if ever. Going to the club is fine. They provide decent experience... until you start to deal with billing. Be VERY CAREFULL with their contracts. The billing stuff cares about nothing except squeezing the last $$$ out of you. Be prepared to be talked down to. And God forbid if you decide to cancel membership: they will charge you additional 30 more days even if you don't use the club. And you can't even freeze membership not to pay $150 for nothing. If you call them they will throw your contract back into your face. My suggestion: consider BCS only if you don't have other options. These guys really deserve to go out of business to leave some space for more people friendly gyms.
- Pros: Does serve the purpose.
- Cons: Prepare to be ripped off
'community feel' gym with friendly, knowledgeable trainers
by lenny77
I work out at BSC every day, been a member for years, and have never seen Julio or any of the other trainers been anything other than complete professionals. The trainers are very supportive of their clients and have an impressive breadth of fitness knowledge. A bit overpriced, but very clean and the staff is all so nice!
- Pros: clean
- Cons: $
every story has 2 sides-be honest
by fitnessfoundry
Please be honest in your posting Boston guy 77. Your opinion of BSC is respected but naming a trainer (me) with false accussations is wrong. Every story has 2 sides and unfortunately your depiction is far from the truth.
A BSC Fitness Manager, myself and another trainer plus a couple of other club members witness your temper when I requested to share the space with myself and another female member on your other side.
Your response was to flare your legs very violently and close to the members heads. When I asked for you to stop due to the potential of injury ( my request was in a calm voice) your response was to flare your legs more...next you stood up ..swore at myself and threatened me and when I declined your offer to participate in a immature game of verbal warfare you stormed out and tried to get me fired.
The reason I did not get fired was because you lied and there were witnesses. Again, we have cameras and the fitness manager was there.
Club members safety is paramount and your actions almost caused injury. It would have been irresponsible on my behalf to not address your actions.
It does not make a difference if your are a paying client or a club member...everyone has the right to workout in a safe, non-threatening environment.
By the way, I want to thank you for keeping your membership and for your recent participation in our personal training programs.
My record speaks for itself. Visit my websitet for more information on my personality,training and client testimonials.
Be Well and Stay Active!!
Julio A. Salado, AFAA & NASM C.P.T.
