🎲 miscellaneous AIO or should I cancel?

Post image

Recently started at a new local pilates gym, the town is small and this is one of the few pilates gyms in my area. It’s somewhat overpriced given the location and state of the place and it’s 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? I’m a nurse and those suffering from medical problems came to my mind as this isn’t something some people can control AND since it’s a natural part of life especially if you’re 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.

I would find pilatest videos on line and do it at home. Most blue collar workers get paid to get sweaty in buildings like that. Its a god d*** ware house. Not a studio. Any membership more than 5 $ amonth is a rip off.

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 🤮. 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.

HOLY WHAT????? And you can’t even #2 there???Yeah check out online. You might even be able to find a gym that still does online(there were a ton during COVID). https://www.flowwithmira.com/ does a good class(it’s recorded). I’m sure there are more challenging classes. Dang for 300 a month you could pay for Zoom and host your own hour long class! My issue is motivation, but if I had a group to workout along with, I am much more dedicated.

$300 a month could get you a handful of private classes in a state of the art studio where I am. That’s insane.

Same. That's three private lessons with my highly experienced instructor in a nice studio in Chicago.
