A resolution

Finally I have gotten my issues with Gold's Gym worked out. After several emails and phone conversations with a new fellow from the corporate office, it turns out that they believe I was a victim of what they call "trainer fraud." Victim seems a bit harsh but whatever. Since they couldn't make any sense at all about my training sessions with Allison, corporate has credited all of the sessions that I worked out with her (10!) back into my account. That could be anywhere from 3 to 5 extra weeks for me, which is really nice. Unfortunately, they said that they couldn't do anything about my contract since it was signed by me and set in stone. I tried to explain to them that as a new member, I had no idea what the codes for the training agreements meant and that as far as I knew, OL2 was the 3x a week plan, and not what it actually is which is a titrated plan. They didn't seem to agree with me on that for whatever reason but I've finally decided thats ok.

Karla, my 2nd trainer, told me last week that Matt, the training director who screwed me, was fired by the company and I also heard that Allison is not coming back from her August hiatus as scheduled. What goes around comes around I say.

So you might have noticed that I referred to Karla has my 2nd trainer. Unfortunately, Karla has left the company to take a position with Lifetime Fitness and it seems to be a great opportunity for her. I now have a new trainer, Phillip. He's really great so far and I think we're going to be a really good fit together. My legs are killing me and that hasn't happened in awhile, so that's a good thing.

Hopefully I'll be able to get my motivation back because it was long gone. Dealing with all of this crap has made me not want to be in the gym, period. Keep your fingers crossed for me and whatever you do, don't let me eat that cupcake!
