Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

 My wife and I recently walked in to Anytime Fitness in Pawleys Island, SC, to join for three months with their "former" Snowbird" membership - only to be told the gym had changed hands and that temporary deal was no longer available. This was the same facility for which I had written a very-positive review the previous year. No longer. The monthly cost had risen to roughly $90.00/month for each of us - meaning a total of $540.00 for the three months. No way! On to Planet Fitness down the highway. We had been members a few years ago, and we joined for a total of $25.00/month - knowing that cancelling upon leaving the South would be easy .  The business plan of Planet Fitness is to charge low money ($10.00/month) which comes out of members' checking accounts. Many gym members join and then stop going, but for so little money, most "quitters" will not cancel. That works so well for dedicated "gym rats" .  Planet Fitness isn't for everyone ....
