For those who already go to World’s Gym and enjoy pumping up their physiques, it likely doesn’t cross your mind that there is anything wrong with World’s Gym. The truth, however, is quite different for a large number of people such as me.The problem is that World’s Gym operates, shamelessly, on this principle: that people will join it on contract and then never come. It isn’t that they don’t want people to come and be satisified, its just that they know that most people don’t have time (as is the case with me) to go there.

Truth is, I admit that I despise contracts; but lets consider other contractual services, such as cell phones: yes, they fine you for terminating your contract early. But all the while, you do have a cell phone that is using the local towers, whether someone calls or not. Or how about renting a house – sure, you have to stick to your contract, but you can live in the house you are renting during the entire duration of your contract. At World’s Gym, you can hope for, at best, a couple hours in a sweaty stinky room – indeed, only a contract could keep me paying for this service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
