i tried to update my credit card so they won’t send me daily fucking emails that i “owe” them $30 (because a gym membership definitely needs to be a cOnTraCt, sure, sure), but the website didn’t work, so I tried calling their “automated” system, whereupon after entering my info to the robot, it gave up and connected me to a guy who i had to speak do and do it all over again.

then they made the poor guy literally ask at the end ‘are you satisfied with my service today’

    Yeah, that’s why I’m alright sticking to the exercise I can access for free: walking, cycling, longboarding, calisthenics…

    I feel like I’m in better shape now than I was when I had an actual gym membership

    You’ve also described why I tend to avoid a lot of subscription based services.

        My husband is a roller skater! I always think people think we’re an odd couple, with my board and his skates on the trails
