Gold's Gym question

[Chairboy]

My wife is a member at Gold's Gym.  To add me to her plan, they want to charge me a $79 initiation and $25 a month.  Any suggestions on how to negotiate the initiation fee away?

Pick out the biggest guy working there and threaten to kick his ass.

I know that works in prison, but at Gold's too?

what about signing up for another year in exchange for the 80.. just an extension with both of you for the remainder of her membership + a year

Just wear a wig and prentend to be her.  You can't go at the same time, but hey, you'll save $25/month.

She's gotten me to agree not to wear the wigs outside of our bedroom, so that's not an option.  Not sure if we want to do a year commitent, she's month to month now.

Tell Gold's to go screw itself, go up to Dexter Reservoir and talk to the Oregon Assn of Rowers.

Another option is to find another gym with no initiation fee (like the Y for example) and use it as a bartering tool. Everthing is negotiable.

Once you get into doing fitness for a lifestyle, its impossible to quit.  Just stay away from the Health food supplements, most of it is B.S. and some of it is quite dangerous and have hazardous effects on your body for the long term.
