Two years ago I signed a 2-year contract with New York Sports Club for a monthly fee of $92. With my prolonged displeasure with the gym and sneaking suspicions that working out was making me more hungry and therefore fatter, I've decided to end this unforgiving financial partnership.
Quitters be forewarned!
You need to submit in writing you intent to quit your membership a full 30 days before they will release you. I didn't even try to get out of my two year contract and am sure that they make you sign the contract so that you can't get out of it. The woman at the counter basically turned me away saying don't bother until your contract is up.
Reasons to get a membership down the road
I enjoy swimming, but never get to do it, so once I reach that short term goal, I'm going to look into joining my neighborhood YMCA, which will be slightly cheaper (this is nyc) and will have a loverly pool for me to swim in, whereas the NYSC shared one facility in times square with a hotel, not ideal swimming conditions.
Health Insurance Bonus!
I actually get $200 every 6 months if I can prove that I went to the gym 60 times in that six month period, unfortunately, I never quite got it to the 60 visit mark, there are only so many times I can stand on an elliptical machine during the month before I want to hurl or risk hip injury mounting the damn thing.
In the meantime, I plan to put my Firm workout videos to the test and slap some rubber to asphalt, running along the brooklyn skyline is much more inspiring than watching reruns of Bravo shows and Beyonce videos.
