Jeff PetersWednesday 8 April 2009 10.22amDavid ThorneMembership RenewalDear DavidThis is a friendly reminder to let you know your gym membership expired last week. Your membership is important to us and we would like to take this opportunity to show our appreciation by offering you a 20% discount on your membership renewal. We look forward to seeing you again soon.All the best, Jeff PetersDavid ThorneWednesday 8 April 2009 1.37pmJeff PetersRe: Membership RenewalDear Jeff,Thankyou for your friendly reminder and the kind offer to reduce my membership by twenty percent. I own a calculator but I could not work out how to do percentages on it so have estimated that I save around $372.10 off the normal price of $420.00 - Please confirm that this is correct and I will renew my membership immediately. Also, do I get a Fitness First sports bag with towel and drinking bottle included in the price? I own my own legwarmers and headband.Regards, David.Jeff PetersThursday 9 April 2009 10.01amDavid ThorneRe: Re: Membership Renewal DueHello DavidHow did you come to that amount? Our half year membership fees are actually $460 but with the 20% discount as an existing member your renewing membership fee would be only $368 for the six months saving you almost $100 off the normal price. We are not Fitness First so do not have those bags.Cheers, JeffDavid ThorneThursday 9 April 2009 10.18amJeff PetersRe: Re: Re: Membership Renewal DueDear Jeff,Do I get free shipping with that?Regards, David.Jeff PetersThursday 9 April 2009 12.48pmDavid ThorneRe: Re: Re: Re: Membership Renewal DueFree shipping with what? The $368 covers your membership fees for six months.David ThorneThursday 9 April 2009 2.26pmJeff PetersRe: Re: Re: Re: Re: Membership Renewal DueDear Jeff,By the power of Greyskull that is a lot of money but I admit to being in desperate need of increasing my body strength. My ten year old child often turns the taps off in the bathroom very tightly and I have to go several days without washing. I feel bad constantly having to ask the lady from next door to come over and loosen them for me, what with her arthritis and limited wheelchair access to my apartment.To be honest, I originally joined your gym with full intentions of attending every few days but after waiting in vain for someone to offer me steroids, I began to suspect this was not going to happen and the realisation that I may have to exercise instead was, quite frankly, horrifying. My aversion to work, along with the fact one of your employees, Justin, was rather rude, telling me to 'lift this', ''push that' dulled my initial enthusiasm of becoming muscular and I stopped attending.Regards, David.Jeff PetersFriday 10 April 2009 9.17amDavid ThorneRe: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Membership Renewal DueHello DavidNobody here would offer you steroids, it is illegal and none of our staff would do this. Justin is one of our most experienced trainers and if you found him rude while he was trying to be helpful and just doing his job then there are plenty of other gyms you could look at joining instead.Cheers, JeffDavid ThorneFriday 10 April 2009 10.02amJeff PetersRe: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Membership Renewal DueDear Jeff,Yes, I have noticed that there are many gyms in my area. I assume the low qualification requirements of fitness trainers means that there is an over supply of these buffed but essentially otherwise purposeless professionals.I knew a guy in high school who couldn't talk very well and collected sticks, he used to call the teacher 'mum' and during recess we would give him money to dance. Then sell him sticks to get our money back. He went on to become a fitness instructor so I view gyms as kind of like those factories that provide a community service by employing people with down syndrome to lick stamps and pack boxes. Except with more Spandex obviously.Regards, David.Jeff PetersFriday 10 April 2009 10.32amDavid ThorneRe: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Membership Renewal DueGo fuck yourself.David ThorneFriday 10 April 2009 11.38amJeff PetersRe: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Membership Renewal DueDear Jeff,I was, at first, quite surprised at your response; one minute you are inviting me to renew my membership and asking me for money, the next insulting me. After doing a little research however, I have learnt that mood swings are an expected side effect of steroid abuse. As another side effect is a reduction in the size of your penis, this gives you understandable cause to be an angry person. I have also learnt that Spandex contains carcinogenic properties so this does not bode well for yourself and your shiny friends. If I woke up one morning and my penis was a quarter of the size AND I had testicular cancer, I would probably take my anger out on those around me as well.There are probably support groups or websites that could help you manage your problem more effectively and picture based books available on the subject. When I am angry I like to listen to music by Linkin Park. The added angst and desire to cut myself works similarly to the way firefighters fight forest fires by burning off sections, effectively canceling each other out and I find myself at peace. As you guys usually listen to Pet Shop Boys or Frankie Goes to Hollywood, this may be worth a try.Regards, David.Jeff PetersFriday 10 April 2009 1.04pmDavid ThorneRe: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Membership Renewal DueDO NOT EMAIL ME AGAINDavid ThorneFriday 10 April 2009 1.15pmJeff PetersRe: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Membership Renewal DueOk.Jeff PetersFriday 10 April 2009 1.25pmDavid ThorneRe: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Membership Renewal DueIs that you being a smartarse or agreeing not to email me again?David ThorneFriday 10 April 2009 1.32pmJeff PetersRe: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Membership Renewal DueThe middle one.
