| - I went in yesterday to take advantage of a two-week guest pass that my boyfriend had gotten with his membership, which he's had for several months. I was ready to work out, and at the front desk, I was (kindly) directed to the sales staff. The woman I spoke to was incredulous that I thought I could work out for two weeks for free, despite my explanation that my boyfriend had registered me for the guest pass. She asked me for a paper pass, which I didn't have, and then asked me where he was. (In a personal training session, 10 feet away.) I told her he'd registered me for it online, and she shook her head and said "no, no... let me check with my manager", rather than looking to see if it was in their system. A minute or two later she came back and said "Yeah, I'm sorry. We can't just GIVE you two weeks. The best we can do is one, if you fill out this form." Since I'm about to be out of town for four days (which would be half of the trial period), I told her to forget it and left. When my boyfriend's training session ended, he asked them why I'd left (I didn't want to bother him during his workout to explain), and the woman told him I didn't want the two-week session he'd registered me for. WHAT? I don't know what the deal is over there, but I think I'll stick with running around my neighborhood. What a frustrating experience!!
