I did it!!!
Thank you all for your encouragement regarding the gym.
Well, I did join. I signed a contract for 1 year but it is not too expensive to get out of it down the road if I want to. So, I was happy about that.
If I stay there for 5 months...I have to pay $25 to terminate plus $10 for each month I used. I also have to give 30 days notice. So, after 5 months it would cost me $75 to get out of the contract. I am fine with that. I would not have been fine if I would have to fulfill the contract for the whole year.
Thanks again,
Gail
