I remember during the covid shutdown my gym was closed (NYSC) . I called their main support line or whatever and was like "I need to cancel my membership" and they told me that I needed to go into the gym to cancel. I told them that the gym was closed and I can't go in. They then told me I needed to get in touch with the manager of that gym somehow.
Called my credit card company. Disputed the charges, and told them to block any further charges from NYSC. That gym shut down before the lock down even ended.
Bought some weights and bands for my apartment. Downloaded a free app for calisthenics routines. Haven't been to a gym since.
It's not quite the same as having all of the machines and weights, but it sure as hell is more convinient. If I ever get the pleasure of owning a home, building out a more complete gym in the basement/garage is a goal.
