Instead of paying for a monthly membership to a gym and then having to drive to work out. And of course excercise in front of people you don't even know. Let alone pay for gas to get there. Be greated by some guy that try's to talk you in to a 10 year workout I may sound a little paranoid.
But honestly, cycling or walking just 3 miles a day doe's wonders for your health.
I have been to these so called gyms.And to be honest I remember being called in to a salesmans cubicle more than once in that first 60 days at that gym!! not fun. Almost as bad as a car salesmans team up!! They try to intimidate you, they use all types of ways to get you to sign up for years in some kind of BS contract. Soooo since this was my first experience going to a so called gym. Remember I'm around 20 or 21 at that time...I signed up for a 3 year premium contract whatever that means..To me it NOW means hey were going to take as much cash as we can out of your bank!! Laugh it up but really that's how I view it.
And I had a feeling at that time it would not be good... Next thing I knew I was billed $500.00 on my credit card!! WTF!! Plus other charges!! So at the time me already married no kids though my new father in law offered to buy me out!!
He paid in full!! Very nice. Funny thing is I remember he too started complaining about how these muscle bound salesman would try to push him into some more products or extend the already 3 year membership!!
And I do remember, they tried to pull a fast one on him and he was billed for $200.00!! He had a fit. He went down there and gave them holy hell and said cancel my membership now. Or I'll sue!!
They eventually realized they were messing with the wrong guy. And he was refunded the $200.00 plus other fee's they had tried to tack on!
It sounds crazy at least to me, to pay to workout. But thats my experience with a gym membership.
