note to self: never join a gym, especially not THIS ONE.
why in the world must one book an appointment with a manager of the club upon u wanting to cancel ur membership?? at a time only convenient to THEM, not you. it's stupid and time wasting. so after not really ever going to gym, i quit, and paid them an extra 200 bucks. how am i going for cashflow?
ok, membership thing is partly my fault so no qualms about the money coz i was stupid to sign a contract. but their PROCESSES!
thankgod there's so much more fun stuff to commit urself to than the gym. i can't believe the "manager" asked me if i wouldn't mind some free personal trainer sessions. i told him already, i wanted to quit because i just plainly didn't enjoy myself at the gym! here's the feedback questions he asked me:
don't make people ask stupid questions! don't make me take time out from my life at YOUR convenience, waste 20 min of my time giving out client feedback that you ought to really be paying for if you're charging me to quit! i should go "no, i'm not filling out or answering any questions until you pay me for my time wasted sitting here listening to your marketing and super guilt-tripping questions (do they work on anybody?) when i really didn't need it."
though on the line where they said "points to improve" i wrote: your cancellation procedure
(i couldn't resist ;D herein lies an abbey moment)
i hope lots of people leave because their cancellation process is a JOKE. how is it that i can quit my JOB, leave my partner, sign a major contract, all using less of MY time than i did to quit a goddamn gym!!! now how is that for a joke?
not a happy chappy. the receptionist made it sound like the managers were booked out with appointments because so many people were leaving the gym. let's hope it keeps going baaaad and they don't last.
Wow, I never knew Fitness First was like that! But either way, I'm not a gym membership type guy either, I've set up a few pieces of equipment in my dungeon which is supposed to pass off as the gym. But it gets the job done! I'm keeping it old school as usual.

- is it because i'm "not motivated to be healthy" - reads: you are lazy and you should feel guilty if you quit.
- what were your goals for coming to the gym? did you commit to your goals? - reads: you are too weak and less of a human to "commit your time"
- is it because you weren't sure what you were doing - reads: you were too stupid to look for help or buy personal trainer hours
- have you ever tried to motivate yourself and get a friend to come with you? - reads: do you need someone to hold your hand at the gym? are you too weak to do things on your own? can you at least give us extra business if you hated us?
