THE PROBLEM
Gym memberships are priced on hope.
WHAT MOST PEOPLE DO
Keep paying because cancelling feels like admitting something.

HOW TO DO IT
- STEP 1Pull your visit log for 3 months.
- STEP 2Fee ÷ visits = cost per visit.
- STEP 3Compare to day-pass and public facility rates.
- STEP 4Switch or genuinely commit.
