i have to pay my gym membership fees at the end of this week. we currently are at a place that is really quite nice. i know we don't use the bulk of it, as it is very family friendly, kind of like a country club, without the golf. usually what happens is that we pay for both of us to go, three months at a time. what happens from that point... is that i am the only person that uses it. t usually has too much work to do and will lift weights or use the bowflex at home.
the other thing that we do, is that we have a limited membership. this means, we are only allowed to go there at certain times of the day. "early" which to them means 7am to 9am or "late" which means 8:30pm to 10:30pm. the early just is not early enough for me. i'm at work by 7am, so that doesn't fly. that leaves me to go home after work and get comfy, and settled, and ahhhhh, THEN GET UP AND WORK OUT.
i started thinking about how nice it would be to work out in the a.m. and then also have the option of doing fun classes in the p.m. i went to 24 hours fitness and got a 7 day membership. i went last night and joined, then went to work out afterwards. it was fine, plenty of people but plenty of machines.
i did the unthinkable and got up at 4:30am and went to go work out at 5am. i got there and until i decided to get a full membership, i decided to use the pay lockers. i put my two quarters in and...nothing. they were lost. i went out to the front desk and this guy seriously looked at me like i was a goon. he stared at me and didn't say a word after i told him my dilemma. i said, "can you do something about that?" he looks intently...and answers "NO" i said, "so you are telling me that i'm trying out your gym for a week and you are not going to reimburse me 50 cents that i put into your gym that your machine ate, so that i may work out at your facility? you are really going to have me not work out and have to go home instead when i woke up at 4:30 to be here?" he says, "yeah, i mean...i don't have anything that i can do"
i left. went to my car and sat there. weighed my options. i could either have this guy ruin the rest of my day by having me have the ammunition to bitch about how "i didn't get to work out because of this guy" or i could simply take 50 cents out of my purse and go back in and try it again. which i did.
hmmmm
