So I went to 24 fitness in El Cajon today. I have a free 7-day pass that came out of my girlfriend's Zumba game for the Wii. I wanted to use their bikes to help start to get myself back into shape. So I walk in and they say, can we see your ID? I say sure. I mean, it's a little silly that you need to show ID to use a gym, but whatever. I have a MT state ID. The girl at the counter, who was nice and profressional, asks me for a local ID. Nope, sorry. She says, OK, let me go check on something. So she goes to ask the boss, or supervisor I imagine. She comes back and says that they can't accept the ID and that it has to be local, like it says on the free pass. A bit ridiculous, but maybe its a way for them to get me to sign up for a paying membership, which I'm honestly not likely to do at this point, but I ask anyway. Would it be acceptable for a paying membership? She says nope, local ID's only. I kind of stare at her in disbelief and say, whelp, thanks anyways. I mean, huh? How, in any possible way is this a policy? First of all, this is a gym. Not a bar, not a government building with dangerous materials. A gym. So my state ID, my drivers license issued by the State of MT is no good? Why? Why not? I will never set foot in a 24 hour fitness again, anywhere. I will also take every opportunity to badmouth them for their ridiculous policy.

I know, I know, I don't need a gym to workout. But I am a king of procrastination and I need unique ways to motivate myself. So don't judge me.
