I canceled my free introduction to the gym when I discovered the personal trainer who would be conducting it was a star marketing manager for the chain, Laura. I knew she would pressure me to sign up for regular personal training sessions, to the tune of over $1,000 a year. Since it would make sense due to my age and fitness level, I didn’t want to take the chance that I would cave in the face of sales superstar. All I wanted was access to water aerobics.
