Not to be defensive of Bally's, because I have talked to a few idiots 
there myself. 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.
