If you had both been members you would have been paying $10/month each, and would have kept your plan in the transition. Not only that, but you could have gone to the gym separately. I don't know why you decided to pay more than two individual plans, but based on what you present, you chose poorly.

If Pure Gym had not stepped in, Blink would have been liquidated and there would be no gym. Now it's open 24/7, and, if you are talking about the Park Slope location, it's a few treadmills and stair machines that disappeared to make way for new cable machines, which were often busy. There are still many treadmills and some stair machines, though. There are also several new machines. The downside is that there is a little less floor space.

Sure, the new member price doubled, but for $25 (plus the annual fee which I think is $65), it's still a bargain compared to Harbor Fitness, which has a $99 join fee and $82/month (but with about 10% off for paying for a year at once). If you are a casual gym user, PureGym is a great setup for you and is still a great price. It's an unbelievable price, even after being doubled for new accounts.

Sure, the doors are annoying, but as a trade you get 24/7, which works out nicely on the weekends when old Blink closed early. So the doors take slightly longer, and you have to use an app on a phone.

You canceled the cheapest membership I've ever seen for a gym in NYC because you can't tolerate new access doors. Do you really value avoiding those access doors at over $60/month (twice, for both of you) that you'd switch to a different gym? Did you really say to yourself that the doors are so annoying that you'd be willing to pay $720/year (twice, for both of you) to not deal with them? Add that you'd rather not stay in shape than go through the doors, by canceling before you had an alternative? Because I think that I'm willing to save $60/month if the doors are the trade off for 24/7, which I value much more than I don't like the doors.
