It's SUNDAY BUGDAY!
We count all of our blessings during the week & discuss what we love, but I think we are allowed ONE day to just vent about what bugs us. Right? Just one day!
Cheers to our first ever Sunday Bugday.
#1: Gym Memberships
Especially during the first of the year, it seems like gyms hike up their prices to take advantage of the plump who make new year's resolutions. One of us here at Boise Bug went to a gym with a 14 day pass sent to them in the mail to check it out. Ya know, to see if he wanted to join. Instead of this unnamed gym welcoming him with open arms hoping he would enjoy his experience, they sat him down for a hard-core sales pitch. They didn't want him to use the 14 day pass he received in the mail until he signed a contract. A 18 month contract!
What a let down. Instead of possibly earning some business in this tough economy-they lost it!
Now, I don't want to dismiss the extreme amount of money it costs to run a gym. But certainly it can't be a good business model to charge $50 a month and only allow your customers to come 4 days a week of YOUR choosing. There is NO way I am going to pay that amount of money to have someone tell me WHEN and WHERE I can work out--and be pushy about it to boot. No sir-ry.
So, guess what I am going to do? I am going to find a local gym/work out class that are in the business to help ME meet MY goals. Isn't that what it should all be about?
In a recent boiseweekly.com article found HERE they promote a local yoga joint called Sumits Yoga. I suggest you read the article and then go to Sumits Yoga website: http://sumitsyoga.com
Sumits Yoga is giving us a 2 week trial for $20 to promote their January Yoga Challenge!
I am going to do it. Pray for me. Think of me. Wish me well. Do it with me!
