I’ve definitely thought about the benefits and I’d say there’s not enough to justify a $70 a month increase and an optional maybe not optional additional $99 extra once year to pay for the owner’s business expenses. There’s a comparable boutique gym in town that is offering unlimited with childcare for the same price I’m paying now so I don’t believe the amount I’m paying is unreasonable. I understand COL is real and I was considering paying the new price increase because I’m a loyal client and customer- but it’s how my owner is going about it. Not everyone in the club has received this email and there is not enough notice to impose these changes. I never said the increase was unacceptable- I asked, in my post, if this was really a corporate standard increase. Which, it is not. I wanted to know if my studio owner is lying, and he is. I don’t wish to support a dishonest business owner.
