Is that Australian Dollars?!

I really need to start exercising. That's just the facts. I really am not motivated towards any kind of exercise except water aerobics. I realize this is an old woman type sport, shut up I didn't ask you. I love being in the water and I always feel like I've had an awesome workout without any joint pain when I finish with a class. I tried looking up the classes at the YMCA and they are all in the middle of the afternoon?! HELLO?! I WORK during the day, that is so NOT convenient for me. So I checked out the good old "OZ Fitness" to see if maybe they just had some weekly classes I could take. I am not interested in going in and working out with all the super motivated treadmill addicts...I just wanna float ok? For a day pass it's 15 dollars. Water Aerobics is 2 days a week. Ok.......

"What if I just join and only go to the water aerobics classes?"
"Same cost as a regular membership"
"And how much is that"
"25 dollars a month......and a 130 dollar joining fee."
"oh, great thanks."

130 freakin dollars to join?! I can fully understand and accept that you have to pay for the regular membership fee even if all you want to use is the pool cause it's not like it's a la carte or anything but seriously. What could you possibly be doing to process my "paperwork" so I can "join" that costs 130 dollars?! I hate gyms.

Amen sister. It is a business and they are about the Almighty Buck. I know so many people who have had to drop their memberships to gyms because of the money issue.
