Why Not Pilates?

As much as I want to try Pilates, I really can’t afford it right now. It’s around ₱1,500 per session, and most studios require at least 10 sessions to see results. I’m actually super motivated to lose weight and be healthy, so 10 sessions sounds ideal, but the total cost is just too steep. So, gym it is!

Why Do I Have a Hard Time Showing Up?

Honestly, this is my biggest struggle. Going to the gym every day is hard enough, but it gets worse when there are a lot of people around. My introverted self really can’t handle crowds, so I’ve been trying to go at 6 AM when it’s quieter.

The problem? My mornings aren’t always okay. Sometimes I work overtime and I desperately need more sleep. And staying consistent is genuinely hard, not because I don’t want to, but because my body clock has a mind of its own.

Still, I’m trying. And I’m really hoping I won’t regret spending this much on a gym membership.

Why I Chose Anytime Fitness

The main reason is the flexibility. My job involves a lot of business travel, so having access to any branch wherever I go is a huge plus. There are also nights when I leave the office really late, like midnight late, and instead of walking home through dark and sketchy streets, I can just stop by the nearest branch to freshen up, use the restroom, and drink some water. Super convenient.

It is pricey though, so I really need to make it worth every peso and stay consistent with my workouts. Oh, and the air conditioning? Absolute heaven in this Philippine heat. 😂

My Mistake for Not Reading the Fine Print!

This one still hurts. I didn’t know I could reuse my old Anytime Fitness key fob, so I ended up paying for a new one during sign-up. When I asked if I could get a refund, IT’S NON-REFUNDABLE. 😭

Lesson learned the hard way: always read the terms and ask questions before paying for anything. Don’t be like me!
