Agreed, which is why I can't picture myself living in a situation that has such friction if my money goes far enough to avoid it in the future. Fwiw, I'm also on the side of not getting a membership unless you're able to go enough times at the drop-in rate to justify saving money on it, or just stick with month to month. I didn't register for an ongoing membership at mine until the cost if drop-in passes surpassed the membership and it was painful and irrational enough to finally commit longer.
