Before my last maid finished her contract, I enjoyed about 10 months of regular gym classes at mYoga. Ever since the maid crisis, I have not been able to attend gym. Since my contract with mYoga is up, I decided to terminate my membership.
Why? No doubt it is an excellent gym. The concept does not work for me because it is all class based. How often can I attend classes? Everyday, after work? Attend 2 or more classes in one evening? Honestly, I don’t need to torture myself to make my money’s worth. I know my body needs rest after a long day of work. There is no equipment for me to work out on my own. So I was literally throwing money away.
Before this I was attached to CF. The gym is not bad but maintenance had fallen behind and it is too crowded. I am thinking of going back to CF but this crowd issue is stopping me. Other than that, I hate the idea of being forced to commit for one year or more.
As consumers we don’t get to choose. I think it is time for our gyms or fitness centres to change their policies. When people are feeling the pinch, gym membership easily becomes the first thing they will cut from their budget. People will quit when their contract is over. At the same time, it will be hard for them to get new members due to the contract.
Why not have prepaid system? I will welcome a fair and reasonable pay per use system. I wish there are other gyms around my work place or near my house. To bad there are little or no choice left for me.
