I belong to a gym (part of a national chain) that I love. Since I'm don't work, and I actually like to exercise (yea I do!! [Big Grin] ) I'm there 5 or 6 mornings a week most of the time. Naturally I've made friends there, and look forward to seeing them and it sure helps get thru the classes the I do, to have a gym buddy next to me.

Anyway......I ran into a gal I used to work out with at a previous gym I belonged to. Hadn't seen her in about 4 years. She said she quit the gym we used to belong to together about 4 years ago (not too long after I left it to join a different gym) and has been working out at home but is ready to join a gym again. I had a free 7-day pass for my gym that I gladly gave to her.

She came and took 3 classes, but because the gym wouldn't give her the deal that she wanted as far as price for enrollment and monthly fees, she told me that as much as she enjoyed the classes and realized how much she missed group exercise, there's no way she'd join this particular gym now since she feels like they're giving her the runaround (I don't really see it that way......they gave her 2 different options and she didn't like either of them, she wanted a combination of the two and they wouldn't do it. But one of the options was a good deal financially compared to other gyms in town......and where I live there's a gym on every corner just about).

Anyway all that happened last week. Yesterday I went to the gym and they had big signs out that they are having specials for new members, $100 off, blah blah blah. Debated whether I should give this gal a call.......or let it go. She was being really hardheaded and stubborn with the managers of my gym, and I can't decide if I should let her know about the new specials they're offering, or forget it. I guess there's a part of me that's afraid if I tell her about it she's going to tell me again that she wouldn't join there if I paid her (and hey! that's MY gym and I like the place and I did her a favor by giving her the pass in the first place!) which I know I shouldn't take personally. Or I'm afraid that she'll come and check it out to find out that what they're offering is no better that what they've already offered her and I'll have to listen to that all over again. On the other hand I think if I were a good friend I'd just tell her about it and let her take it from there.

Any opinions?? [Confused]

Thanks!
