Breaking up is Hard to Do...


Y'all put up with multiple break up posts from us last year - this is a bit different. And it will only last one post. Promise.

We've been trying to break up with Extreme Fitness for a while. While we love the atmosphere at the Delisle (especially the sauna!). And they get bonus points for Sunday aft power yoga with Lori K. (though we hear rumours of a cancelled class). We have a gym in our condo. And many thoughts on how better to use our $80 per month.

We also have an on and off relationship with 889 Yonge. And it's looking like that one's made to last!

So, today we dragged ourself to the place where it all began, to cancel our membership. To break up with Extreme.

We'd put this off a while, as we'd imagined all of the push back we'd get on cancelling. If there's one thing we dislike. It's sales guys. Pushy, sleazy sales guys. Strong dislike.

But we were surprised in a good way.

We didn't get bullied, coerced or fall victim to any other aggressive tactics to keep us as members.

We got a compliment and a sheet to sign.

So Extreme Fitness, we have to give it to you for staying classy.

It's not that we didn't love you. It's just that we don't need you.

x's & o's,
Leslie

ps. Yes, kids. We do realize that it should be what you love and not what you need in real life relationships. However, a gym membership is entirely a different ball game!

pps. This is our 200th blog post - whoo hoo!!!
