I'm undecided on whether or not I should cancel my gym membership and switch to the council instead. The gym I'm currently at is a group fitness gym which is a highly motivating and supportive environment, and great for making sure I see people considering I don't really have a third space besides school and work. However, I miss going to a gym with machines and the council one has a pool. Plus it's cheaper. Only the social aspect missing. I think it's a case of loss aversion here.

I should add that I'm not using it as often as I like to get value out of it.

Can you get a casual pass to visit the council one a few times to try it out? Idk maybe there’s something that would sway your decision.

Or maybe even get a casual pass to use the pool and machines whenever you want to.

That’s if they still offer that

I will look into this :)
