I think a part time job at a moving company is a better idea. Then you get paid to pick things up and put them down.

Gyms hate this one life hack.
I got into the best shape of my entire life because I had a swampy 3 acre field that I had to mow with a push mower, an old house that needed repainting, and I didn't have enough money to buy food. Dropped over 50 pounds that summer and all it took was being hungry and tired all the time.
The starving yourself diet! Works every time!
Nathan fielder?
anyone know why gyms can afford to be so sketchy with their cancellation process? it borderline sounds illegal, but since so many do this i can't help but wonder why there isn't any regulation around this sort of practice
Getting a lawyer is too expensive compared to praying for a in unused gym membership for a couple more months.
The only debt I’ve ever owned was a damn gym that wouldn’t cancel my membership when I moved. Absolutely the sketchiest places.
just go for walks and do calisthenics at home
This. And it helps to have a "workout buddy" to keep you consistent.
When I cancelled my gym I told them it was because I lost my job and couldn't pay it. Idk if the guy just felt bad and actually cancelled it or if that is just a reason they actually take but I never heard from them again. One of my friends cancelled at the same gym and had a hell of a time getting them to stop billing her.
Never understood why people go to the gym, just buy your own weights. I can find 20 lb dumbbells at my local store for a cheap price of $12.99
I moved to Europe from the US. Forgot to cancel my gym membership before I went.
They demanded a handwritten letter, delivered in person by myself to cancel the membership. I wasn't buying an international flight just for them, so I mailed them a letter and had to threaten to sue to get them to close it. Absolutely disgraceful.
Does anyone know a workaround for the credit card account?
there is a gym near my place that has terrible reviews because of the cancellation process, i would love to have a "spoof" account that is closable on my end.
Be careful, in the US they can just rack up your debt and send it to collections.
Just went through this after doing the credit card thing. It was removed 30 days after my dispute since the gym didn't submit any evidence.

Beat me to it!
Louis Rossman approves!
I enjoyed orange theory for a year
Then when I canceled they informed me they get to bill me one more time.
I am never going back.
I tried joining a gym in 2019, I went every day for an hour and was making decent progress. Then covid happened, the gym closed, but they wouldn't let me cancel unless I went in person.
So I stopped putting money on the greendot card I used for the membership. I got a few phone calls from them, and ignored them after the first.
I imagine sooner or later they will get wise to this and demand a bank account number, which could be defeated by opening a "gym account" that only has enough for one month's membership.
My work rents office space off the owner of the downstairs gym in the building. Apparently we all have free memberships because the landlord is also a client of ours. Nobody has ever gone to the gym to workout lol
YMCA is affordable, easy to leave, fault friendly, and has a banging theme song.
I don't understand signing up to a gym membership. I don't go to the gym often but when I used to, I just go to one of those government ones that you pay per entry.
pre-paying at a rate so diabolically good that they can never make you the same deal again
