health clubs - cost/benefit question I'm weighing

[Mr. Bloom]

the whole place is oversubscribed and it drives me batty, but particularly the locker room. It is often filthy, there's not enough changing area etc.

I hate crowds and I hate filth...that would decide it for me.

thanks, all. I think this has confirmed what is the right direction for me. Closer to home, and a club I will be happy with, vs, skeezed out by! I have been researching this new and other possible gyms for months and it is really the best around for my interests.
It also doesn't hurt that I found two reviews of my current gym from random internet people and both said the same things I did, so it's not just in my head!

Plus maybe I'll try some of their yoga classes.
