Well, I took a big step last night. I walked through the doors of Bally's Fitness last night looking for information on memberships. A half hour later I walk out the door with a new membership. $30/mo can't be beat (he says it was a special running yesterday only...sounded suspicious, but still a great price).

Here's hoping the fact that I'm PAYING for a membership will get me to go on a regular basis. As my schedule stands right now, I can go after work Mon, Thurs, and Fri, and after bowling on Tues. Wednesdays are shot because of scouts. 4 days is certainly better than none. If I feel I HAVE to do something, I could always run after scouts (here's hoping I develop that much dedication).

Anyone want to join with me?

Good Luck!
If we lived in the same area I'd work out w/ you!

It actually turns out that a co-worker is still a member there. Go figure!

[camper4lyfe.livejournal.com]

Hehe...but if I can get someone to join in the next 30 days, I get a free year.
hehehehehe

I remember I paid like $584 for a whole year membership at the YMCA a couple of years ago. I went maybe... 10 times? Where is the Bally's that you go to?

[camper4lyfe.livejournal.com]

It's the one on Jefferson. Out behind Tully's and Perkins and Bill Gray's.

That's a worthwhile drive for you, huh? A better work-out would probably be biking from your place to Bally's. At least you'd already be done with the cardiovascular warm-up ;-)

[camper4lyfe.livejournal.com]

But I work less than 5 minutes from there. The plan is to head over after work.

[fatkins-diet.livejournal.com]

Aha! I live less than 5 minutes from there.

just watch it with Bally's...they'll change prices on you, etc. and if you want to bail out...good luck doing so. they own you for three years.

[camper4lyfe.livejournal.com]

I'm learning this. I may have shafted myself. We'll find out. Damn me for doing something in a hurry.

[arcadiyastorm.livejournal.com]

you have three days to bail, legally.

[camper4lyfe.livejournal.com]

I have a 30 day money back gaurantee. I can cancel at the end of those 30 days and get my money back if I so choose. I'll find out more on Monday when I have time to actually talk to them. It was tough to pass up the $30/mo though (I've never seen a club for anywhere near this price).

[arcadiyastorm.livejournal.com]

trust me on this one.

you have to get 12 visits under your best first, BEFORE you can leave in those 30 days.

and they'll still charge you for the following month.

the man and i are dealing with a legal battle now with them...and if you complain to them GM, they'll just say so what? you also have to deal directly with corporate for any sort of end to the contract...and youll have to send in your contract should you want out. my suggestion is to get a photocopy of it, and send THAT in if you want to quit...that way you have the original on hand should they try to screw you and say they never got it.

also - if you end up dealing with corporate...take down the time you talk to them, the day, and the name of the person, as well as notes from the conversation. it helps should they try to screw you.

[camper4lyfe.livejournal.com]

Let's just hope it never gets to that. I work with a guy who has been there long enough (has reache dthe end of his contract), and is now paying $4.50/mo.

[arcadiyastorm.livejournal.com]

yeah - there are some who like it enough to deal with the bullshit at the beginning. i'm just making you aware of the situation should you try to leave before the end of 3 years.

[camper4lyfe.livejournal.com]

Here's hopin.

Thanks for the heads up though.

[arcadiyastorm.livejournal.com]

no prob

[camper4lyfe.livejournal.com]

Do you also use poppyzero?

[arcadiyastorm.livejournal.com]

porque?

[camper4lyfe.livejournal.com]

I thought perhaps that was a different account that you used for other things. The fact that you commented on one of her posts made it seem as if it was your post and you had forgotten to change names.

[arcadiyastorm.livejournal.com]

she and i are good friends...we both use that one sometimes.

she also comes over my house and uses my computer. a lot. often without remembering to sign ME out.

silly blonde that she is.

[camper4lyfe.livejournal.com]
