Ok, heres the history.
Without drowning you in TOO many details, ive always had issues with my gym's financial department. They did some finicky things that really pissed me off but always got resolved, but for the past 6-7 months or so, there have been regular issues. My payments are supposed to come out every other Friday, coinciding with my payday, and for the longest time they did until about december of 2010. From then until April, every once in a while (once a month, sometimes twice) the payments would come out of my account on Thursdays instead of Fridays, and unfortunately there wouldnt be any money in the account and it would put me into overdraft and I kept getting dinged by my bank. I finally complained in April and they offered me 1 free month to make up for it (which covered the costs, essentially). I was told that they would make a note on my account that payments HAD to come out of my account on fridays. I was happy enough with that.
My first payment after that free month was supposed to be on June 3rd, but it came out on June 2nd. I called to complain and was told that there isnt anything they can really do because their financial department processes payments on Wednesdays so its really my bank's fault for processing transactions too fast (?!?). I was then told that I could either give them post dated cheques (im not writing out 26 fucking cheques) or pay a lump sum (i dont have that kind of money available). Fine.
FF to my next payment. Supposed to come out June 17th. I went on my bank account on the 15th and noticed that my fee had already come out, on the 14th. A TUESDAY, 4 days early. I call up again to complain and every time I called she wasnt available so I left a handful of messages and she never called back. At that point I sort of forgot about it until tonight.
I went onto my bank account tonight to try to figure out some financial crap and noticed that the fee came out, on the 21st. My next payment isnt supposed to come out until JULY FUCKING FIRST! What in the fuckingmotherfuckingfuck I am so pissed off right now I could punch and elderly person. I called AGAIN and was told she was in an appointment and done for the day right after so I left a message and quite clearly conveyed how royally ticked off I was and she never called.
What im getting at is that every time this happens, for the past year, Ive been saying "im gonna quit!!" and then I just never do. There arent a lot of gyms in my city - there is this one (with 3 locations), 2 meathead gyms, and 1 across town inside a freakin grocery store. I am REALLY limited with my options if I want to work out and if Im lifting the way I want I need the resources at the gym (heavier weights, oly bar, exercise ball, lat pulldown, shiit like that) and I dont have the money to buy them or the room to put them in my house.
That said, Im just so effing pissed I dont even know what to do. I want to tell them to go eat a diick and FOAD, but then I wont have anywhere to work out.
What would you do?
