Yes, that mail-in bullshit is ridiculous.

You have to call your credit card company and report your card stolen. They will freeze that bitch immediately and not allow a single additional charge to be placed on it.

However... the gym will then claim you owe them money, per the terms of the ridiculous contract you signed, and they turn your account over to collections and fuck with your credit.

I should have added the second part. I was going to add "and let them send the balance to collections". It only fucks with your credit for a max of 7 years, unless you're planning on buying a house sometime soon it doesn't really matter. I know this because I did it frequently years ago for bullshit like cancellation fees and other obnoxious shit and now all those outstanding collections have been expiring over the past couple of years.

Ohh screw that. What's the point of your monthly membership charge if it doesn't go for things like maintenance? Find another gym.

"We don't charge an initiation fee" she said.

Pfff what the fuck do you call it, then?

Keep reading...there's also a "payment setup fee"

This plus masks is why people have home setups.

Exactly. I had a manager interrupt a set of reps to tell me to pull my mask up. I completely ignored her the keep my breathing concentrated.

I told my gym manager I'm not joining if they ever require any of that shit. They closed for 3 months when the state forced them to, and have been fully open ever since.

You couldn't even do a rep 1 armed and flip the bird?

You need to up your game!

Maintenance on the equipment?

Keep reading OP, most of them also state that a month is 28days so you are effectively paying 13months for a year long membership.

You are one step ahead...Most people don’t even read the contract

Oh, stop being such a crybaby, they have touchless check-in.
