Gym Closing for 3 weeks in dec

I'm trying to figure out what I should do.

What are the odds of negotiating a membership for that amount of time without paying some retarded initiation/cancellation fee? I was thinking that might work or some of the bay area crew could let me guest pass, dunno.

I guess another option would be to find how many gyms have that 7-day trial shit going on and sign up for a bunch of them

Anybody been in a situation like this, what worked for them?

 

If the free trial thing fails, alot of gym let you do a 1 week, 2 week or 1 month Paid in full membership. Better than nothing.

 

you can pay by day at some gyms. not sure of the price. but 3-4 days a week for 3 weeks shouldnt be bad

 

That's good to hear. I'm intending to stop by some places later today to get a better grasp of my options.

 

Look up www.healthclubs.com and if you see any gym on there that is close to you, tell them your a member of IHRSA, they are sups'd to give you a discount as a member.

 

Where in SJ? I know my gym is always on me about "giving my friends a 3-months membership".

I go to the 24HF on Lawrence and Arques

 

Mapquest says its about a 15 min drive for me, which is about the same as what I have now.

Any idea on what they'd price it at?

 

find golds, pay $10 month no contract.

 

wow i will definitely go by today. there's one 3 mins from my house.

 

this is the deal going on at my golds right now. i hope its going on at yours.

 

The Gold's I go to when I'm in San Jose charges me 50 for the month.

 

good lord @ cali


ten bucks a month no contract in suburbs houston here

 

Probably becomes cheaper if you join for a year. I pay 80 per month right now.

 

Bally's has a month to month program

 

gawd damn. ours is no contract

 

I can't read worth a damn. Doesnt look like there's a great deal for gold's where I live.

 

Jesus christ.

I pay 21 bucks a month and I have a 2 yr contract. At my Gold's it's something like 10-15 bucks a day for a single day.

 

i think our gym charges $10/day for a guest pass.

what you want to do is find a place that offers a 7 day trial, and then wear a disguise the 2nd and 3rd week. so the 2nd week wear a fake mustache, then the 3rd week put a wig on with a fake spray tan.

 

I think the YMCA lets you pay by the visit.

 

If I remember correctly, I think it might be free. I'll find out when I hit the gym tomorrow.

 

Any update?

 

just say you're interested in joining and get a 1 week pass to try it out

 

haha yeah get a spray tan, then it will melt off while youre sweating

 

lol I go to Gold's in San Jose when I'm at home/summer. Do you live around here?

I pay $10/month but sign up fee was $69 IIRC...not sure how negotiable that sign up fee is though, I think you just have to pay it. $10/month though is like free.

 

My bad.

I asked and the 3-month thing was "a special promotion we were running. Want a free week for your friend?"



If you want, I can get you that free week...
