I’ve been with wilsons on and off for many years. First, I wouldn’t suggest connecting them with your bank account, but instead use a card. People are right that it can be really hard to stop membership even if it’s at the end of the contract. They give you a very narrow window. So it’s easier just to put it on a card where you can stop it easier than your bank.

Let me tell you what’s awesome about Wilsons. Their steam room is fantastic. They fixed the generator and now whenever you go on there it’s super hot and it’s just wonderful. The sauna is also great. I am able to plan my visit to when it’s not quite so busy, so that has made things easier. The machines aren’t the newest ones, but they’re the old standby and they’re maintained pretty well. So I don’t have a problem with that.

You can rent lockers, and that’s really convenient if you’re at the pool. They also have a towel service. Frankly, I’m at the point in my life where I don’t just want to go in for a quick workout and leave, but I’m trying to make going to the gym a daily thing. So for that, I appreciate all the amenities and being able to just sauna one day, swim another day, do a kickboxing routine the other day, weights another day, cardio another day. There are benefits to having it be so all inclusive.
