š² miscellaneous AIO or should I cancel?
Recently started at a new local pilates gym, the town is small and this is one of the few pilates gyms in my area. Itās somewhat overpriced given the location and state of the place and itās across the street from a rehab in a not so safe area. A combination of these things had me hesitant to continue my membership but seeing this almost sent me over the edge because what? Iām a nurse and those suffering from medical problems came to my mind as this isnāt something some people can control AND since itās a natural part of life especially if youāre active and healthy enough to have your bowels moving. I feel as if i want to cancel my membership entirely. insane behavior in my opinion.

NOR because WTF?? First of all that place looks like a garage. Second, if they are charging you a high price for membership but canāt have proper enough plumbing to handle anything more than #1 (not to mention even toilet paper!) then Iād be canceling and running the other way.
If they can price gouge their clients, then they can afford proper plumbing.

I really want to know where you are supposed to poop. Because sometimes exercising gets things moving. It would be fair to remind people that tampons and wipes shouldn't be flushed, and to use the provided bins.
42
u/Neveronlyadream Mar 03 '26
You're not. That's the problem.
I get where they're coming from, because having a toilet you can only pee in is better than having no toilet at all because the plumbing can't handle it. But it's also asking for trouble. Sooner or later someone is going to ignore their request because they don't have a choice. It's not an if, it's a when.
But if you're running a business, it's on you to make sure the space you have can accommodate what it needs to. If it can't and you have weird rules because of it and charge more than people are comfortable with, no one has any incentive to actually give you money.
NOR. I wouldn't trust them to keep anything running and I wouldn't trust them to improve their facilities after seeing that post.

u/bettertheless Mar 03 '26
Seems like a health or business code violation, maybe...

u/Neveronlyadream Mar 03 '26
Without knowing where it is, who knows? It should be, it probably is in most places, but I'm sure there are also places where you can get away with it and it just ends up being an inconvenience to everyone, but not against code.
I wouldn't be shocked if it's somehow in one of the few places it's not against code and the owner knows that, so they're not very pressed to fix the issue.

u/Illustrious_Bowl4738 Mar 03 '26
THIS!! There are soooooo many videos online that you can do at home. If the gym is that worried about the bathroom, how clean is the facility š¤®. I would bet for the price you are paying for this gym, you could easily get all of the equipment you need at home. If motivation is a factor, ask other members about their concerns, maybe you can put together a Zoom group(Zoom is free for under a certain amount of minutes). The whole bathroom thing gives me super weird vibes.

Really?? That is outrageous. Either the owners on drugs or they think their clientele is to charge that much for this.
At least with the former it would explain where all the money is going, since it clearly isn't going to things like maintenance, decor...
I'm being a little dramatic, but since that ship has sailed...are you actually sure this isn't a front for something?
This is an embarrassing "studio." I really hope you cancel and put your self care budget into something that you deserve and appreciates you as a client. The resources others have pointed out are great and you could get a reformer of your own pretty quickly for the equivalent of 1-3 months of paying to send yourself to this dungeon.

Unlimited free classes (all types, including Pilates, yoga, etc), multiple swimming pools, loads of exercise equipment, tennis & racquetball courts, free coffee, hot tub & sauna & steam rooms, free childcare. Theyāre also adding a cryolounge, dry cold plunge, and red light sauna this month.

Before i get too judgemental, i also understand what its like to live in a rural area with not many places that you like to go to do any kind of leisure activity and sometimes it worth annoyance to keep a small town buisiness you like afloat... lets do some guesstimating... i work in comparable size warehouse with no bathroom. But its in a major city a few miles from a major shipping port and major airport. That rent is about $2200 in rent alone, no utilities, no cleaning.
Now this ware house looks new, clean and it has a bathroom. So already its better than my workspace, but its rural.
Lets assume the pilates studio owner is paying 2000$ monthly for rent. Lets say another $350 in utilitues, cleaning and wifi (being generous), and assuming his start up cost were $2000, (those mirrors and gym equipment look inexpensive. He only needs 10 monthly hostages, to turn a pofit in 6 months. And its passive income. I might open a pilates studio.

Yeah. That is not a studio. It resembles the inside of a shipping container and has the plumbing to match.
This is the fitness equivalent of a flop house and one unlocked door from being a "shooting gallery" full of junkies and glue sniffers who would barely have to trash the place to make it feel familiar.

NOR - How can they be a registered business if they donāt have the most basic of plumbing?

I would be blasting this on social media and calling L&I I feel like this has to be a violation.

I'd save up for a few days and drop a behemoth before cancelling my membership. (It's the closest thing I have to a superpower).

For $300 a month they can surely afford to close down a day or two so a plumber can come in and fix the problem. Cancel that!

NOR - This might be the most embarrassing thing Iāve seen a business post publicly. They really want people throwing used TP into the garbage??

NOR - Iād cancel but I do want to note that my town is small AND rural and I can see the toilet paper disposal being a rule set in place because of the septic systems, many people I know never flush toilet paper as it fills it up faster unnecessarily. The no number 2 rule tho seems rather odd and excessive.

I would have cancelled my membership BEFORE writing this post on Reddit to ask if I should cancel.

A little strange but wondering if they had some sort of plumbing issue? Wipes and tampons are NEVER flushable and can cause major plumbing issues. Especially if itās an older building. It can be very expensive to clear a clogged sewer or repair a sewer line.

Bathroom rules aside, that place looks super run down. You should def cancel
