I have some equipment at home, but it just doesn't motivate me. Maybe it's just because I need to get out of the house a little more. I don't know.
Yesterday I went and toured a gym and really liked it. They have childcare (included) and all the equipment I think I would want (including a pool - which is the be all & end all for me.) It's on the pricey side - $45 a month. This seems even more expensive because I have free access to multiple gyms (and pools) on base, but they don't have any childcare, so I have NEVER gone since having DD.
There is another gym that all my friends are going to (YMCA) which is approx. $32 a month. It's a new facility and they don't have a pool yet. Plans are for one in the future (probably years from now.) For some reason, it just doesn't excite me.
I signed up for the more expensive one and was so excited about it. Somewhere in the process I realized I was signing a contract (for 3 years) but was so excited about the possibilities of me-time to exercise that I signed it anyway. Now I think I'm having buyers remorse. Is it typical for gym memberships to be a contract like that? I mean...I can't just quit. I am locked in for 3 years at $45 a month. I imagine I could go in sometime in the next few days & cancel everything, but it would have to be quickly.
I guess I'm just looking for clarification on if this is normal or not. Should I cancel? But that makes me sad. I like their facilities and need to be exercising. DH is totally on board and is supportive of me spending the $$ in order to get exercise, me time, etc. I just hate, hate, hate the idea of committing myself financially to something for so long.
