Today, I bought a $300 gym membership that gives me access to the company's non-premium gyms. The non-premium gyms are all closed due to construction, because they're being turned into premium gyms. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I'd been going to a gym with my wife as a guest on her account, I joined as a regular member. However, before I had time to go under my own membership, the gym closed down due to the coronavirus. FML
Today, I paid $500 for a gym membership after moving into a brand new house, since 12 years of software development has taken its toll. When I told my instructor about my goal to lose 35lbs in two months, he simply said, "Yeah... That's not going to happen. Try another gym," and left promptly. FML
Today, I applied to a new gym. Now I have a hernia. FML
Today, it was my first day at a new gym, which cost a fortune. Some skinny teen who had clearly never lifted in his life dropped a weight while I was stretching and broke my ankle. Money down the drain. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months and couldn't figure out how to use any of the equipment. FML
Today, I was denied membership to an all-women's gym. Why? Because "men are not permitted to join". I am and have always been female. FML
Today, I bought a $450 elliptical machine to get in shape of the new year. After 5 hours of putting it together, I realized that all the ceilings in every room of my apartment are too low for me to use it without hitting my head. I can't return it. FML
Today, I went to the gym after months of procrastinating. I walked straight into the glass wall next to the entrance instead of the door. A guy lifting near the front desk winced in sympathy. I still worked out, but I could see my face slowly swelling in the mirror. FML
Today, I went to the new gym I recently signed up for and started exercising in the men-filled weights room, despite being intimidated by them and the strange looks they were giving me. Workout over, I left the room and saw in front of me a door marked, "Women's weights room." Oh. FML
Today, I determined that the only reason I still have a membership to my gym is that the special gummy bears they have in the vending machines are amazing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why is everyone saying it's ironic? It's not. What would have been ironic was if he used to have premium, and DOWNGRADED to non-premium.

Who needs a gym membership? Big waste of money. Just do pushups and cardio.

If it's a non-refundable deal, demanding a refund isn't that easy. YDI OP, you should have asked a few questions, such as which gyms you could go to, and when they were accessible. ESPECIALLY the question about when they were accessible. Had you asked, they would told you that you couldn't go to any of them today, and you would have known something was up!

How about you go **** yourself How would OP know the gym is changing the non-premium gyms?

And you obviously don't know everything

Wow... tough words for someone so young. I actually HAVE had someone try to pull the same gig on me before. It's why you ask questions before agreeing to spend THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Nobody on this thread outside of OP knows whether or not that membership is non-refundable, so it's a reasonable assessment. But you're right... I obviously don't know anything, because I haven't fallen for that kind of thing.

You shouldn't have been cheap and gotten non-premium and gotten premium instead. Anyway, they didn't tell you what was happening? They should have known what was going on :P

Who'd be stupid enough to spend that much money when you don't even know what you're spending it on? Before joining a gym, you should visit it or at least go online and look up information about it.
