i tried to update my credit card so they won’t send me daily fucking emails that i “owe” them $30 (because a gym membership definitely needs to be a cOnTraCt, sure, sure), but the website didn’t work, so I tried calling their “automated” system, whereupon after entering my info to the robot, it gave up and connected me to a guy who i had to speak do and do it all over again.

then they made the poor guy literally ask at the end ‘are you satisfied with my service today’

    I do the same. So many gyms have abusive terms which is an immediate deal breaker for me.

    I had a gym want me to sign a contract that they could take photos of me and use my likeness for promotional material or whatever else. They can fuck off with that. The manager actually came in and tried to tell me nobody was going to use photos of me. Okay, then take it out of the contract.

    This was on top of the usual, “to cancel, you must send Certified mail via eagle to Mordor with exactly seven stamps all from different sets in a black envelope on yellow paper with the date that we read the contents written in green ink on the outside.”
