$65 Bad Review

So, my silly wife signed up for requisite Sky fitness membership.  It cost her $39, plus $65 per month.  Because it was less than quarter mile from our house, we walked, to Sky, and then back home.  After a while, we just kept walking and really didn't need the membership anymore.

So, she decides to cancel her membership after a month.  First, Sky calls demanding payment after her cancellation.  Then, we got a letter threatening to tack on fees for chargebacks and threatening to ruin our credit rating.  

We finally WALKED to Sky to demand explanation.  They still insisted on the $65 payment.  I kindly and assertively asked the payment be waived in exchange for not writing this bad review.  They still insisted on payment.  F.A.I.L.

Here ya go, Sky.  $65 bad review.  If ONLY one person decides NOT join Sky or another fitness center scam, $65 is worth it, right?

Why join Sky or another other fitness center scam, when you can walk/bike to the grocery store, to your favorite restaurant, or wherever you go drink?  Work your workout into your daily simple pleasure of leaving that overpriced, over-engineered monstrosity of glass, metal, and rubber, on your driveway.

Yes, admittedly, those TV screens on the stair stepper are nice.  But, how about the simple quiet of walking through your tree-lined neighborhood?  If you can afford Sky, you probably have enough disposable income to afford the mortgage on a Mid-Town or South Tulsa house.

Instead of fighting traffic driving that monstrosity of glass, metal, and rubber on four wheels, why not enjoy walking that two mile round trip to Sprouts?  Hey, how about the simple sublime pleasure of biking to Braum's for frozen yogart?  Coffee and bagettes at Panera after a quick jog, without driving, anyone?

Think about how totally STUPID to drive just to go to the spinning class at Sky.
