My boyfriend and I decided to join a gym and get fit together so we visited the local Fitness First to talk to them about packages for the both of us. In the meeting we said straight away that we were just looking at packages and comparing prices but the trainer was already trying to get my bank account details to direct debit account fees. I said we really weren't interested in signing up that day several times. Eventually he gave us passes for a week to try out the facilities. We went a grand total of twice because every second we were in there the staff were badgering us to join extra classes and making stupid jokes about us not being "hardcore" enough because we only stayed for 2 hours at a time. The second time we were there one of the trainers pushed my partner so hard that he threw up afterward. I found the entire experience to be a very pressured environment, if they had just left us alone for 10 seconds we probably would have continued going.
