I however have been a member since 1981 and have been through a number of the clubs, the first one being in the Illinois Center Building. I am now 42 years old and am considering selling my membership. Not because I am dissatisfied but because I am a little too old for the constant thump of a repetitive four beat aerobic workout. My GOD what they have done to Rock and Roll!! I prefer taking my bike on 50-100 mile rides or rock climbing or camping. I can't bring Corporate Responsibility to Bally's but if you'd like a "Premier Plus membership" that won't empty your wallet send me an e-Mail. Mr.Ribit@worldnet.att.net
