In my experience, at least, the "gyms are impossible to cancel" meme is overstated. LA Fitness required me to mail in a letter to cancel; I can see how someone would object since I could easily sign up online, but printing and mailing the letter took maybe 10 minutes tops, and the cancellation was processed within a week.
To me, that was good enough.

- tdeck 3y agoI like the concept, but the fact that you can't see the pricing until after you've put in your personal info seems shady.
- kgdiem 3y agoI used to have the pricing up, then someone said I should take it down. Since then you’re the second person to mention it. Any recommendation on where to display it?
- kyawzazaw 3y agoThat's not overstated. Your anecdote itself illustrates the steps and turnaround time one has to take to cancel. That's super slow. Did it take you a week to sign up and have to print and mail? Also, a lot of people don't have printers.
- m463 3y agoI had to send a certified letter. You underestimate the friction writing a letter entails, and you could probably assign a dollar amount to it.
- adamredwoods 3y agoI can attest to the energy for mailing things here in the PNW. We have to drive 10-15 minutes to a mailbox, and I'm lucky to have a stamp. Our mail-driver will only take mail in-person (not from the box) due to excessive mail theft.
