That's one thing I love about my YMCA.

I decided to cancel my gym membership because I was doing too much work to go to the gym and I didn't want to waste the money.

Walked in and said "Hey, I'd like to cancel my membership" and they said "No problem. Your membership ends at the end of the month. Please come back when you've got your shit together and want to rejoin."

I probably could have done it over the phone.

“No problem. Your membership ends at the end of the month. Please come back when you’ve got your shit together and want to rejoin.”

This makes me want to join your gym. Direct to the point, no bullshit, and a bit of sass. I like it.
