1296.1OHAC Info.HOTLNE::YOUNGFri Mar 07 1997 23:345
    I am a member at OHAC in Lancaster. It is a pretty good club. If you
    have Tufts for health insurance the cost is cheaper. It also depends
    on your age. I have Tufts for health insurance, and I am in my
    twenties. My cost is roughly around $33.00/mnth. It is also cheaper
    if you let them take it directly out of your checking acct.

cheaper as you age (or get younger- okay, let's see someone do that!)? not that 
i'd be interested in joining there, but others might want to know. i'd guess 
they'd offer an insentive to older people, but they might alos figure they're a 
bigger health risk, thus make it more costly?

again, i'm at a point where it's damn'd if i do, damn'd if i don't!

reg.

p.s. y'all might ask what i'm doing in here on a saturday- don't...

    The younger you are, the cheaper it is. It goes up a good amount as you
    get older. I'm in my early twenties, I pay around $30.00 w/ Tufts ins.
    My sister is also a member, she's twenty-six and she pays over $40.00.
    It is an excellent gym to belong to. They just bought more new
    equipment. They have evrything. You name the equipment it's there. They
    have boys and girls showers and changing rooms, men and women's showers
    and change rooms. Four different sets of restrooms. Ssaunas,
    steamrooms. They have a Masseuir there. They have a nursery. They
    consatantly have very good
    programs,ETC......................................................
1296.4!discrimination!DELNI::LBASSETTDesignWed Apr 16 1997 14:155
    When I went in to get the prices they never mentioned the price goes up
    as you get older.....  They showed me 3 different pay plans but nothing
    about a different price based on age.........
    
    Why would they do that?  To keep the club YOUNG?  come on!

if there is hmo/medical reimbursement for using such facility it just may help
to make up for differences lost to age related illnesses/injuires increase with 
age.  HOWEVER! drop that place and run, as no one should work out where 
discrimination is allowed, and charging more as you get older is just way 
uncool.

discrimination: and _i'm_ the one to pick on the horizontally challenged 
physical therapists! HOWEVER! i ran screaming and got my therapist changed to 
one that is more cognitive to my needs as well as someone in a fit looking body 
that makes me at least think they know what they're talking about.
