R. went to renew his gym contract today and the price is doubling. It's still a good deal because people coming in off the street would have to pay double that amount.

However, it's not the good deal he signed up for. The good deal he signed up for is no rate changes ever. All three of us signed up for this. But then the gym was bought by another company. That was several years ago. At the first renewal date and every year since they have continued to honor that price, but there was a clause in the contract that said they didn't have to. Every year I make them strike out that clause, even though they tell me not to worry about it.

Well, I guess those days are over now. And R. is not renewing.

He can't sneak in on a Saturday either and see if he can get the usual deal because the contract is flagged such that only the manager can renew it.

There's still the possibility of them backing down once he's gone for a couple of months.

R's sister's contract doesn't come up for renewal until November. But she doesn't just go to the gym with us, she also goes with her husband and by herself and probably with other people.

My contract isn't up for renewal until spring, and they'd probably give me the same rate, but they probably won't let me mangle the contract again. Plus I don't even like going to the gym (except for the socializing and that one class).

So we're working a new plan. Other gyms are also expensive. It doesn't look like there are many other ways to get classes, and those seem mostly expensive, too. (Sorry Indigo Rose.) We agree that we don't need a gym for the equipment, but we do seem to need it for the motivation. It looks like we're going to have to get creative.

R. and Empirical Question go for long walks every Monday, even though they do not go to a gym or a walking club but merely start at the door of the restaurant at which they have just eaten and walk through the city in the heat, so an alternative plan should be possible.
