Blast Fitness

Don’t join this gym! They treat you horribly and lie to you! Worst of all, we had signed up at the Dorsette locatiion and the gym went down hill after Blast took over from Ballys! Without ANY notice, Blast closed the Maryland Heights location. We couldn’t get ahold of anyone in Corporate to find out why! All we were told when we tried to email, was go to the South City location! Now why would I want to drive there, when I can just switch to a different gym down the road from my house! After saying we wanted to cancel, they still charged us several times and took forever to refund the money! This company is a sham!

(I could not figure out how to give zero starts!) This place was gross and shut down. I’ve been a member of Vic Tanny then as Bally’s took it over, then finally Blast — - total of almost 30 years. With Blast things were broken, every light in the pool was out. The steamroom was out for months. And the whirl pool wasout for months with the light fixture floating on the top of the disgusting water. The lockers rusted, grime on the floor. Anyone want to see it? I’ve got pictures. Oh and I was going to bring a guest and I was charged $ 20. That’s right $ 20 to bring a guest! Give me a break. No manager was ever there, and I never received a callback.

Blast is a very sleazy organization. They just decided today to close down the Clayton location without any notice. Members who had signed year long contracts were told they can go to the Maryland Heights location which is a total dump or the location at Jefferson in South City. Those people who had signed up under Ballys, the previous owners were told they could only go to the Maryland Heights location.
The Clayton facility was dirty. One day they had no toilet paper in the entire club.
It took months for them to repair the only soap dispenser in the women’s bathroom.
Light bulbs were never replaced. The management showed no ability whatsoever to respond to any members’ complaints or concerns. DON’T JOIN HERE!

I’ve been going to this gym for three years now, and since Blast has taken over, it’s gone down hill. I found it today that they are closing the location on Sunday without any warning! My boyfriend renewed his account five days ago and they did not tell him they were moving to another location off Jefferson, in fact they tried to get him to purchase the most expensive package which he was told he was getting a «deal.» This place is ridiculous. When we asked to cancel our memberships we were told we needed to go to the Dorsett rd. location in order to speak to management. Wtf?
