I just got a free personal training session with gym I just joined and trainer tried to get me to sign up for a $2500 program after. Wth is that?

AITA for getting a little annoyed by this?
I joined a new gym which comes with a complementary training session. Afterward he reviewed a “goals plan” with me and then the last page was about 2 very pricey training plans options for 3 to 4 months. One was like $1500 and the other was $2800. He goes “which one do you want to go with?” I just politely tried to decline. After that he sort of just wrapped up the session and we said our goodbyes.
It put me in a really awkward position because I really didn’t want to sign up for it and felt put on the spot. I just felt it was very unreasonably priced for a 3 month program! At my old gym they only charged like $60 per training session.

Unfortunately, these are common practices from gyms. They are trying to remain profitable and I also think that a lot of businesses that made it through the last 2 years have increased costs to recoupe.

I have a home gym that probably has everything your gym has to offer, minus the people, and I'd say the cost was somewhere between those to numbers you threw out there. No time limits, no waiting for someone to finish or dealing with their bullshit, no salespeople, etc. My membership is 24/7 for life with that one payment.



















I'm trying to say public gyms are bullshit.

For 2800$ a month they better be cleaning my house, cooking my meals and then some. Sheesh that's crazy.

Not per month but for 3 full months. STILL! LOL
