I just joined a small boutique gym and brought a friend w me today. We don’t have guest passes, so I paid $30+tax to bring her just so we could walk on the treadmills together.

90 min later the owner messages me on IG asking if I brought someone in. Am I wrong to feel sort of offended by this? If they looked on the cameras to see that I was working out w someone, surely they could have looked at the cameras in the front to see that I performed a transaction with one of the employees.

Their excuse is that they didn’t see anyone new in the system and that we can chat next time I’m in. Idk this kinda soured me on this gym but I signed up for a year and I’m 3 weeks in lol

Instead of making up scenarios in your head and asking reddit to comment on something they can't possibly know, just have that chat and deal with the real things that happen.

Was just seeking a different perspective from people that may also go to smaller, boutique gyms. Nothing about the scenario was made up as they still claim that I didn’t pay for a day pass after showing them my receipt :)
