Planet Fitness is Twisting My Arm

I almost feel like I have to do it. Doesn't matter whether I want to or not - Planet Fitness has made me an offer I simply can't refuse.

$1 down.

$10 a month.

That's $121 dollars for a year membership to a gym located 4 blocks from my apartment. The best part is that even if I don't go it won't be like I'm really losing out.

$10 a month? Please. That's a drink and a tip or a 5pm taxi taking me 20 blocks. Hell, $10 doesn't even get me the salad I want at some places (I'm looking at you, Chop'd.)

Conventional wisdom says you don't need a gym. You can always exercise on your own if you feel motivated enough. Supposedly. I can't really confirm this because I've never really been motivated enough. But for $10 a month I can try to see if I'll be motivated to travel the 4 blocks.

Damn it, Planet Fitness. You got me.
