Needless to say, we walked out and did not join. Within an hour, little high-pressure salesboy was on the phone to see if he could still make his commission. Please, never sign anything you don't read first. If you don't understand it, don't sign it until you can ask a lawyer. Hour Fitness must think the public is stupid or brain dead.
Few things incur as much heel dragging as joining a new gym.
Other than visiting the dentist, there are very few things that I put off beyond their necessary time. Joining a new gym is one of them, which is why it took me eight years to join 24 Hour Fitness. I have been a member of 24 Hour Fitness for one year now, and have been very pleased with them. My quest for fitness did not really happen until I was in my early 20's. Despite not exercising, I appeared to be in pretty good shape.
