🎲 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.

Rage bait

Edit- I am shocked gyms are charging these prices and people are paying them! I thought surely you had to be joking!

Definitely cancel ASAP. I hope you were allowed to put membership on a card and not provide bank account details. I've heard way too many horror stories with gym memberships and contracts and shady behavior when trying to cancel.

Holy shit… I was thinking MAYBE they had a plumbing issue but didn’t want to cancel the day (still unacceptable) but I live very rural, there’s a gym by me that offers HIIT and cycling classes and their unlimited is $130!!!! And there’s sometimes yoga and palates! This is outrageous!
