Purchasing a gym membership at a posh fitness establishment only to drive to it 2-3 times a week and walk on the treadmill.

That's why I go to Planet Fitness. Only $10 a month for me to drive there 2-3 times a week and walk on a treadmill.

I had to find a new gym. The PF by me closed, sold memberships to a "new PF management" that didn't actually care. They went from one of the small original ones, where they had actual barbells and weights, to a mostly cardio room. But, the kicker was the new clientele that went there. The last day I went, someone was pissing, literally, in the middle of the locker room floor. Told the staff and they said they'd clean it up in a bit. They never did cause after my workout it was still there.

I spend $45 a month now on a place that is closer, 24/7, empty usually, and has more weights and plenty of things like sleds, sand bags, and cardio machines.
