I Had Good Intentions.

My best friend Ashley and I were watching our favorite TV show “So You Think You Can Dance” last week, when we saw a commercial for 2 for 1 membership’s at Gold’s Gym. We have been feeling out of shape since we graduated high school as we stopped dancing and exercising as much. So immediately we had great ideas about getting in shape, losing weight and looking good! So today we went in and talked to Gold’s Gym. I didn’t realize that this would be the worst idea ever. The second we walked in the guy behind the desk in his black uniform started flirting with us. After he used more lame lines then I can count, and rested his hand on my shoulders and guided me to the back office, he then gave us a tour of the gym. The gym was nice and Ashley and I were getting stoked about going. The sinking feeling started when we sat down and they made us sign our initials on a bunch of lines with text written big enough for ants to read. I kept finding hidden fee’s and asking about their purpose, they immediately started telling me it’s a good deal and that these fee’s are minimal and a onetime thing. The situation started to feel more and more fishy and red flags were popping up left and right. The look on Ashley’s face was priceless as she kept signing her name. They then set us up with a personal trainer who did a “fitness evaluation” which just made us feel fat and stupid. They already made us feel over weight, I guess they just wanted to confirm it. They started to set dates to meet with the personal trainer when it occurred to me this was probably not free, I then found out it cost $70 a month. After I threw up in my mouth, I told him no. The trainer then kept giving me “deals” that were not really deals. All and all, I left the gym feeling completely played by the flirty guys in black. Not only did I leave unhappy, but I’m still fat, and even more broke.

Through fifteen minutes of reading the fine print on our copy, we discovered that we can go to the cooperate office in Orem within the next 4 days to cancel our membership's. So I'm still fat, and missing $20, but I feel much better :]
