Well, after being a member for 6 years, and the downturn in economy, apparently the folks at Pinnacle decided they didn't want my business. They never contacted me about renewing my contract and opted to let it expire, rather than keep my business.
I think this is a testament to tough competition from places like Anytime Fitness, who are now offering memberships that are well below HALF of what Pinnacle USED to charge. Pinnacle now seems to have greatly lowered their introductory rate, to what my contract rate was (I got in at a reduced rate because they had only recently opened this club location when I joined).
Whatever, I wasn't using the club because I have been travelling so extensively for work - maybe they assumed I died...or decided to go fat and lazy
