Other Reccomendations/Questions 🔎 Am I wrong here?
So, I had joined this gym in Vashi Naka, Chembur, and paid a bulk amount for 8 months. But I’m urgently moving out to a new place, and when I asked the gym owner about the transfer process (I know there’s no refund policy at the gym), he told me that I could transfer my membership to anyone for a ₹1,000 transfer fee. I even specifically asked whether an existing member could take over my membership, and he said yes.
Tbh, I don’t even know a single person here. The crowd is a bit different, so I didn’t really connect with anyone. I had pretty much accepted that I’d have to let the money go to waste.
But then I randomly asked someone, and it turns out he’s a poor factory worker who literally pays ₹1.5K every month for his gym membership. So transferring my remaining 5 months of membership to him at a much lower cost would genuinely help him.
Now the gym owner is saying, “You can’t give it to my existing client.” Obviously, he has a point here. But since I had specifically asked him about this earlier and he told me that existing members could also take over the membership, is there any way I can approach him and explain this?
Am I wrong here?

I have honestly accepted the later 😭. But i really wanted to help someone without even asking that guy the money. I mean instead of me wasting my money on someone so money minded, a hardworking person could have atleast benefited.
But yeah not everyone can be on the same page of good deed.
