Gyms have built their business model around us not showing up. Gyms have way more members than they can actually accommodate. Low-priced gyms are the most extreme example of this. Planet Fitness, which charges between $10 and $20 per month, has, on average, 6,500 members per gym. Most of its gyms can hold around 300 people. Planet Fitness can do this because it knows that members won't show up. After all, if everyone who had a gym membership showed up at the gym, it would be Thunderdome. If you are not going to the gym, you are actually the gym's best customer.

Yeah, I've heard that before

2018-02-06 15:06:46 UTC  

It's one of the reasons I think working out at home is a better idea

2018-02-06 15:07:18 UTC  

Cheaper at the long run, you can do anytime you want and no people to share the equipment with you

Best is to have a mate with a Garage

and everyone get equipment

2018-02-06 15:14:09 UTC  

Yeah

2018-02-06 15:14:11 UTC  

That too

2018-02-06 15:14:39 UTC  

I mean, with the the internet is quite easy to learn the exercises

2018-02-06 15:14:59 UTC  

Plus, most gyms don't have dedicated trainers for everyone

some don't have staff other than cleaners

2018-02-06 15:16:37 UTC  

Yeah

2018-02-06 15:17:17 UTC  

What I noticed here is, some people use the gym as a social hub or to show off

2018-02-06 15:17:50 UTC  

If you don't care about those stuff, save some money and buy your own stuff

2018-02-06 15:26:57 UTC  

`It's one of the reasons I think working out at home is a better idea`

2018-02-06 15:27:00 UTC  

Can confirm

2018-02-06 15:27:13 UTC  

Although you've gotta keep yourself accountable unless you can find a mate to train with you

which is why the garage is good

keep eachother honest

2018-02-06 15:42:51 UTC  

Yeah, for both things

2018-02-06 15:43:25 UTC  

That's why I believe you have to make working out an habit

2018-02-06 15:43:42 UTC  

Because, if you keep depending if motivation, you won't get too far

I prefer to have a sport or something you're training for

otherwise it's just FUCK IT let's eat burgers

2018-02-06 15:45:37 UTC  

That'd a pretty hard impulse to fight

MOAR BURGERS

I could do better than that

2018-02-06 18:08:36 UTC  

Sounds like FEMA needs a good purge too.

2018-02-06 18:09:25 UTC  

>FEMA awarded her $156 million for the job
>She is seeking a settlement of at least $70 million

That should be criminal

`FEMA was widely criticized for its slow response to those in need after Katrina hit. But Wal-Mart’s response was faster and, in one case, the company even provided stranded police officers with clothes and ammunition. `

It's Logistics that I'm quite good at

this woman sounds like she owns a bakery
