GYMS STUDENTS VS MILAN

Have you ever thought to join one of many, many gyms in Milan, maybe one of those super-equipped or simply close to home?
The choice is vast, the prices are different and the options are many.
In Milan there are 132 (because of the Chamber of Commerce) and start their campaigns in January, relying on post-Christmas wish of the people: get into shape ahead of the summer. Some examples:
"Fitness First" offers not only new activities such as TRX, suspension training that is taken by the training of the Marines, but also discounts from 60 to 10%, "VirginActive" tip about subscriptions and all inclusive services such as "Exchange ready" when washed and ironed clothes after the training of members; "Get Fit" in contrast, offers annual subscriptions for 5 days per week to € 55 per month or 100 inputs to the gym from € 8 per entry.
Up to the end of March, it will be time discounts and consequently unpleasant traps for students uninformed and unaware of the 'immense' bargaining power of a gym.
's practical advice to guide you in this busy and dangerous world:
E 'key not to be groped by the first proposal, though it may be beneficial, and not to be missed, as the fitness centers are able to offer all'indeciso students multiple offers and promotions, often simply made up, at the moment .. Last week, for example, I received an offer of membership from one note to the gym in Milan: 600 € for 12 months. After having shown no sign of interest, the employee was quick to offer me a discounted price for students, of whom I knew as well that had expired a week already, but in exceptional cases repeated the signed (yes, Yeah, right!): € 400 for 12 months, payable in installments of € 36 per month, or two solutions + 200 € 200 € without interest.
the repudiation of my net pay in installments, and especially after receiving no feedback my question about APR and TAN, I left, leaving my address and having stated that I had to try on. The employee, before I left the gym, said that the offers made were valid only if the contract is signed within the next day.
time three days and receive a phone call in which I will propose an additional discount: € 300 for 12 months, with plenty of free bag of clubs. Also not accepted.
In light of the facts, if I trusted the first proposal, I would have spent twice as much for the very same service.
This shows that it is necessary to make the most of a tight bargaining power of the consumer and now look at your phone, you never know arrivi un’altra proposta….
