The Unfair Gym Dilemma: Denied Entry and Frustration Over Guest Passes

I just tried to go to this one gym and they didn’t let me in so now I’m pissed. I’ve never been to this gym before but I’m staying at a friend’s and she goes to a different gym than when I go to. So we showed up and I told her I was like hey I’m from here I’ve never been to this gym before like is there any way like can we go about like getting a guest bus or something like that. And she said the guest bus was 20 bucks for the day which I’m not gonna pay 20 bucks when vast majority of gyms like they cost twice that for the whole month you know like 20 bucks a day is ridiculous to go lift weights if you go to the gym you know that 20 bucks is never worth it. Also I worked at a gym and I know that we do guest passes it’s really just like to their discretion but I was so nice like there was no reason for her to like not give me one and she opened up by saying like you have to pay get a day pass for 20 bucks a day or sign up pay like 70 dollars today and then get a refund within 10 days. She said because we don’t do free trials but my friend that I went to the reason she signed up is because she had never been in this she the same lady that talked to me today gave her a free trial. So how are you gonna tell me you don’t do free trials but the person that I’m standing next to got a free trial from you like a month ago and then she joined the gym. And I mean like it goes without saying but I know that she didn’t owe me a guest pass or like a free trial but she could have just let me work out like today. We went all the way there it was literally like a 40 minute like subway like it was a whole hustle to get there and she just wasn’t budging like she wasn’t even nice or like trying to hear me out. So then at that point like I didn’t know if I should just pay the 20 bucks or just come home and let my friend do her thing or like both of us leave. But there’s not like it doesn’t make sense for me to get membership just one day and then cancel it. When I haven’t even been to the gym before what if I don’t like it and they’re not forced to give you a free day or like let you in for free but she did with my friend that I was standing next to not too long ago. So if you did that for her and I’m next to her and I’m telling you I’ve never been here and like I’d be nice. I’m just saying you could have been a little bit more helpful.
