Is It Really This Hard To Quit The Gym?
If you read my post How To Quit The Gym And Get Fit, Burn Fat & Build An Attractive Body you might be determined to quit the gym. But sometimes this is easier said than done! Once the gym has you, they just don’t want to let you go.
You could make the argument that Gym owners believe there gym is such a necessity that your hopes of improving fitness and appearance would be greatly hindered if you quit. So, they make it hard for you to quit because it is in your best interest. Or, you could make the argument that they are just out for money and could care less about you or your goals.
Either way you look at it, some gyms will make it difficult to leave.
I came across this that I though was pretty funny, (or infuriating depending on how you look at it).
How to quit the gym in 13 easy steps
I would have to disagree with #13 though. After going through all that, why in the world would you join another gym? And I’m not alone in this belief either.

Here is something Peta said in the article: How I Broke Out Of The Gym
“There is a growing acknowledgment that fitness does not have to be
delivered in a pre-packaged gym form and that, with appropriate
direction and enough gusto, the great outdoors can become all the gym
you need at a fraction of the hassle and cost.”
Couldn’t agree more! I’d just add that you can get just as good a workout INSIDE your own home as well.
There are many reasons to quit the gym. But because you suddenly realized you want to be unfit, unhealthy and unattractive is never one of them. I believe all the people who have belonged to a gym and then quit (which is a HUGE number), still want to be fit, burn fat and build an attractive body.
Here’s the secret the gym owners don’t want you to know: You don’t need a gym or expensive equipment to reach your fitness, fat loss and physique goals. And in my opinion, you are better off without the gym.

More and more people are leaving the gym and looking for alternative ways to exercise. And the great part is, there are plenty to choose from! Don’t believe me? Check out this post: Quitting The Gym: The Great British Exodus
The point is: If you’re happy with your gym membership, do whatever it takes to keep it. But if you want to quit the gym, do whatever it takes to leave. Just don’t EVER give up your quest of self improvement!
