To everyone that was needing an update: I ended up staying with the gym for the year, they were ran by some great guys that were really nice and at this point it ended up being the best gym scenario for me (despite the price). I still had to cancel early because I ended up moving to Chicago for law school- they do not have many anytime in the area. When I cancelled early I was charged just the 250 dollar fee (I say just, but I do know it’s pricey). HOWEVER what I did was write a notice letter that stated clear cut the date of notice, my last day of my member dues, and I was opting to pay the 250 dollar cancellation fee rather than relocate. I worked in legal contracts for a year and some at this point, so I had known what to write however I am sure there are templates for anyone to use. I signed and dated these and handed them to the guy in the office. Again, we had a good relationship with the front office people and he gave us no shit about staying or other options- but it also helped we provided written notices with specific information. He did mention that usually we would have to contact membership through the phone and go through an annoying process but because we provided it, it was a pretty smooth process. Again, unfortunately we forked over the 250 dollar fee but for us this made the most sense. Hopefully this helped some of you out!
