Murphy, You May Leave Now...

Dang I'm bummed.

Remember my way-awesome trainer? Well, she remained awesome but unfortunately it appears our gym is being sold to another company and when that became official, my trainer resigned. I can't say I blame her. Google L.A. Fitness buyouts if you're interested -- it's not pretty (specifically the Minnesota and Atlanta area buyouts), so I'm more than a little concerned myself.

Unfortunately I still have 6 sessions left on my contract. And although I was told I'd hear from the facility manager on that, I still haven't and it's several days later. So now I'm not just bummed, but I'm also stressing. It may be over nothing; I'm sure there's a ton of stress over on their end as well, but I'd like to know how we're going to handle my remaining training contract.

I'm just so annoyed! I finally get to re-join the gym after a decade hiatus, find a great trainer, and whammo. She's gone. Bleah.

Well, this could be a sign I should just resign my gym membership and go ahead and join the Y. I've had a great crash course in re-learning how to use the weight equipment and I've got some excellent workout routines, so it may be that the frou-frou gym's time has passed. Besides, we can get an entire family membership at the Y for less than 2 full memberships at the current gym... plus a discount on gymnastics classes for The Gum Zombie. So really, it could all work out to our advantage in the long run.

But still... dang!

Sigh.

I agree it might be time for the Y, but i hope you get a credit or refund for the 6 sessions you are going to lose.

Catching up here - so sorry about your trainer, sounded as if it was a great gym. Hope you find another one or that the Y is a good alternative! You are an inspiration to me; I really have to do something about my weight. I was looking at your "before" picture in a previous post and wishing I looked that good, LOL!

I think the Y sounds like a great choice!

I'm sorry to hear that! But now that you have some good teaching under your belt again, you could move to the Y if you want!

Aww. that bites! I am in Minnesota, but no LA fitness near enough to go to, which may be good, huh!?
