We on the other hand buy supplements on-line, we don't need personal trainers, and we don't need special aerobic classes. That's why they don't really want us anymore.

SO TRUE! They sell an expensive package to joe average, knowing full well that after a couple weeks the bastard won't even show up anymore, and laugh all the way to the bank. Especially this time of year. "honey, I bought us a membership for Christmas". A gym I went to once wouldn't even let you wear a tank top or anything sleeveless.
