Hugh Jass was considering putting a membership to The Edge Fitness Center on his Christmas list, but now feels as though he may have gotten one last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve definitely been to the gym,&#8221; Jass recalled. &#8220;I remember getting a membership, but I don&#8217;t remember quitting. Was that last year? Or the year before? Jeez, it could have been three years ago actually. Do they just keep auto-billing you forever? It may have been a gift. How long do memberships last? A month? A Year? Lifetime?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there are potentially a few weeks left on a previous membership, Jass says he would potentially be interested in getting in a few workouts before it expires. If, however, he does not have a membership, he says he would prefer to wait until January to sign up again, in order to make a fresh start for the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really gonna do it this time. Unless I&#8217;m already doing it. It&#8217;s hard to tell. I&#8217;ve thought about just driving over there and asking, but I&#8217;m not getting off the couch on a <em>chance<\/em> that I might be able to hit the weight room. And I don&#8217;t really want to call them. It&#8217;s kind of embarrassing, actually. Probably better to just avoid the gym for now until it all gets sorted out.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jass says his current plan is to ask for a gym membership from various family members, and then ask them later if there were any &#8220;issues&#8221; with getting the membership, such as his already being a member.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>ESSEX JUNCTION &#8211; As the holiday season rushes forward and brings us into the new year, one local man is having trouble remembering whether or <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/2019\/12\/09\/local-man-unsure-if-he-has-a-gym-membership\/\" title=\"Local Man Unsure If He Has A Gym Membership\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4310,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[6],"tags":[53],"coauthors":[91],"class_list":["post-4309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-vermont-life","tag-essex-junction"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/TWFI-2019_12_09.png","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8JVRF-17v","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4309"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4309"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4309\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4311,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4309\/revisions\/4311"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4309"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=4309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
