Why are we subsidizing your gym? If they cannot provide you the service they are providing at a fair price (fair = cost of operations plus on-going maintenance plus profit enough to make the effort worthwhile), then it should not be provided. One can walk the neighborhood, run the local high school track, or follow a YouTube yoga program for free in order to pursue fitness, which is a laudable pursuit. Doesn't mean it should be subsidized.
