Anytime Fitness gym closure
So recently I went overseas and when I came back a few days ago I realised my gym is currently closed due to renovation. They did give a notice before that on their blackboard in the gym saying “gym closure on 28 September for reno” or something like that. Originally I thought it was a small thing they were going to make changes to that took more than 8 hours, since it said “on” and not “from”.
I signed a 18 month contract with them last June. I signed with this gym mainly because of convenience, it’s right opposite my house (2min walk). The nearest other AFs are minimally 1.6km away and there is a newly renovated activesg like 1.8km away so there’s no difference lol. Now the thing I’m wondering is can I put my membership on hold? I signed during a promotion so my contact is 89/month, and since the next nearest outlet is basically the same distance as an activesg (~18/month) it doesn’t really make sense for me to pay an additional $70 per month. For context I’m also 18yo so $70 is a considerable additional sum of money for me, but I was willing to pay the premium simply for convenience (since I can pop by anytime for a short workout(i usually go another time at night for a 15m core workout everyday) as and when i like.
For those more informed about anytime fitness, can I ask:
- Which gym will be the one receiving my monthly payment going forward (if I don’t go / go to multiple gyms)?
- Will my membership still be 89/month? When I signed the guy told me for his gym it’s only 89/month cause he don’t charge gst and other fees.
- Will the timing of my monthly payment change? Currently payment is deducted every 5th of the month for me
- And most importantly can I put my membership on hold? It’s pointless for me to pay 5x what I can pay for a public gym the same distance as the next closest af.
Please advise, thank you 🙏
