Well, that's the end of a long relationship with that gym
As my dr rdrs may have noticed, I have not been best pleased with the change of ownership and new management philosophy at the gym where I have been going for A Very Long Time now - I started going there quite shortly after partner and I moved in together (were we married, we would be past pearl, but not quite to coral).
Quite apart from my general issues with what does and does not work with my neck and shoulder issues (because some things you would not think would impact those bodily areas sometimes do), which I daresay I could work on with a trainer, the place has become generally unwelcoming and unpleasant, what with the constant shifting around of equipment, various items of equipment completely vanishing, heating not being turned on (during months when this was very much an issue), cold water in the showers, lack of the old friendly faces, etc etc.
And today, when I got to the reception desk, I was told that, although I had paid some while ago for a 3 year pass, ooops, they had no record of it in their database or files, and somehow my membership card, which has the date and so forth on it, is not considered adequate evidence, do I have a contract or other paperwork to prove that I entered into such an agreement?
I am not the only person in this situation, and they feel that they are being massively munificent in offering a free month and then we can pay for using the gym.
While I have absolutely no desire to go on using their manky gym under those conditions - having already paid, I was prepared to put up with the general inconvenience of the thing, but I was getting more and more pissed off with the place - I am a bit miffed (litotes) that they are doing this, which is surely unethical if not actually illegal.
In general thinking about matters of exercise, there is a Pure Gym more or less just round the corner in the opposite direction - does anyone have experience of same? This entry was originally posted at https://oursin.dreamwidth.org/2784190.html. Please comment there using OpenID. View
