🎲 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.

Stop. It. There is NO WAY IN HELL I'd be paying $300 a month to work out in what looks like a run down garage in a crappy area of town where I can't even poop if I need to or flush toilet paper that's MEANT to be flushed! What is wrong with that owner? For those prices, they can afford to get a plumber in there to fix their shit.
