So the cost of a membership for the local gym just went up again this year.
Much like everything else I spend currency on, this gym has been raising their rates as well.
This year, that just didn’t work for me. I’ve belonged to this small gym for over five years. That’s when I moved here from the city. I usually work inside the zone controlled Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C of our corporate offices. That’s where I had always wanted this job to end up. But our corporate offices are out in the boonies. I live in a small rural town now in a cabin with central a/c after residing my whole life in apartments in a major city. It’s a giant change even though I sure do cherish being a homeowner, having a superb central a/c system, 10 acres of land plus a short commute is awesome. Yet, residing in this small town can also come with limited choices. This was the biggest bummer when I moved here. And the small town gym with its terrible heating plus cooling is a superb example. I was shocked that the gym was raising the rates again this year. They added no value to the membership. And this was after a promise that the commercial Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C would be repaired and updated. That commercial Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C is just the worst plus I just couldn’t see spending more currency for worse a/c. There is a small gym inside the corporate headquarters that I’m using now. The a/c is far better even if there are a limited number of machines. I just go in there to do my physical resistance training. Then, I leave the a/c to do cardio on my own with hiking plus biking outside.
