Exactly.

The problem was my original gym was Linden, but after I moved to Louisiana for grad school I had my home gym transferred there (this took literally five phone calls to NJ and over an hour in the Baton Rouge gym just to get it transferred). I returned to NJ for lockdown when campus closed, and PF alerted us dues were being suspended. When they opened again I was not comfortable going back so soon and asked to cancel if they wouldn’t let me stay in stasis. They said I had to cancel in person despite being 1300 miles away during a pandemic. I sent emails, I called, then they moved my home gym back to Linden without asking. Linden was confused and kept saying I had to go to Baton Rouge to cancel. At some point while changing banks they missed a single payment and then refused to let me even request the form without paying the $25 plus a $10 late fee. It was nothing but nightmares for literally three years until I closed my bank account. It’s hard to deny the $10 membership it’s just so many horror stories about leaving I’ll never use my regular account again. If I do sign up (it’s looking likely), I’ll do so with a prepaid card to avoid the drama again.

Yeah that sounds a lot trickier.

Why not just get it in the airport as you’re leaving? I got mine at baggage claim and it took literally 2 minutes and was cheaper than Amazon.

Oh nice I’ll look into it!

I have stuff at home but I hate my building and it’s a good excuse to leave our hovel! I’ll check this one out though thank you!

Ooh I wonder if it’s 24hrs. I’ll have to look because that’s a huge bonus for me.

I would overpay if they have a pool. LA Fitness knows that’s a weakness a lot of us crave 😭

Someone just told me that you can use a prepaid card to sign up and then it’s easier to cancel because you’ve made it clear there’s no way to get more money out of you. Might have to try that.

It looks awesome but it’s 3x the price of Blink and like 6x the price of PF so that’s a bummer.

For whatever reason that location redirects you if you try and sign up for the cheaper plans? Like why would I pay for the green plan and access to hundreds of gyms? I barely convince myself to go to the one in my own neighborhood you know? I’m gonna call them though maybe they’ll explain the issue.

I live next to a funeral home and they already have half the street on one side mandated as their own parking but now they’ve petitioned for the other side of the street as well, and they’ve done this before. Even when we have enough space to have them park and us to drive around, they still parked dead center. They only moved because the street sweeper came through.

I don’t have any allergies so I thought I was imagining things but me toooooo

The dog park at Berry Lane is nice if you prefer gravel over grass.

I got glass in my eye and the ER referred me to his dad the ophthalmologist who works next door, but my stupid insurance wanted a referral from my primary care doctor. Couldn’t get anyone on the phone there so Dr Gurland came out and said “just call your insurance and switch to me, then I’ll issue the referral it’ll take 10 minutes”. He was so nice I stuck around.

I go to Dr Gurland in Bayonne. Not only is he a healthy at any size doctor but he actually listens to me and lets me be actively involved in my own care.

The thermostat was replaced twice but the issue initially was the pump was circulating the hot water to the radiators without ever shutting off? Honestly it’s been a mess.

I was recovering from Covid and was both contagious and brain foggy so I didn’t bother - we’ve had the super up here six times to “fix” the heat since I moved in 6 weeks ago. Won’t turn off won’t turn on back and forth forever. Finally get it working and then that happened. At one point a few weeks back it was 90+ inside so we left our AC units in, I put plastic and tape over those and then went back to bed. The list of things I want fixed before I pay for January is as long as my arm.

Mine was set at 67 and 58 was the warmest I was able to get, however the thermo is in the small kitchen and directly next to the boiler so it’s cheating. The living room and bedrooms were significantly colder. My building is old and superbly shitty though.
