Just cancelled my gym membership

I really don't get it....

Got a letter yesterday from our new GM at the gym advising us that he's had to put up membership prices AGAIN.
When I called him to ask if this latest increase was going to be ploughed back into the gym and replace some of the old, knackered, out of use and frankly dangerous equipment I was told - eventually - that it wasn't, it was to reach their contribution to business target for 2006/2007.

So, I'm gonna take a couple of months off, train lightly at home and join another, better and probably cheaper gym in a couple of months.
Looking at this from another perspective, it's worked out pretty well, I'm going to be moving house soon and taking on a different role at work so if I'm honest, probably won't get much time to go to the gym anyway!

But they're still all wankers!!!!!!!!!!!
