I got a membership when I was in another state for a few months and had absolutely no problem with it and I've been lifting for 10 years. It had everything I needed - heavy dumbbells, squat racks, cross cables, pull down bar, bikes, treadmills, ellipticals, all the necessary machines, and was cheap as hell. I don't know what these people are talking about. My biggest gripe with it is the interior is ugly as fuck.
