    No way will I give a gym my checking account info. I don’t give that to any merchant. Merchants can charge my credit card, accept me pre-paying, or for big purchases wire transfer.

    In the past they only offered it a few times a year. From memory once around Thanksgiving (in the USA), and again for a couple weeks around xmas/new years. You have to go in in-person anyway to pay anyway. You’d likely have to contact your local location to find out when/if they offer it, and how much. It used to be $99/year prepaid, which was a great price in itself.

      I’m in the bay area, and the location was built in the last 5 years. I almost guarantee they are cashless. I might give it a go at some point. I’ve got a garage gym with everything I need, but I wouldn’t mind having access to a proper gym for some of the machines.
