Quit the club and tell them why, but tell them you’ll be happy to come back, as soon as they toss the vaccine proof requirements.
Upload it, but complain that it’s a stupid policy that is making you consider leaving.
Thanks for the links.
By me theres a glut of those types of places, all constantly scrambling for members. Ask them to reconsider and if no (99%) just tell them they changed the terms of membership, are asking you to get injected with an UNAPPROVED DRUG, and want a full refund for breach of contract.
Ask them what are they are trying to accomplish with the new policy. If they answer “Keep members from spreading covid”, show them official docs that show the vaccine DOES NOT DO THAT.
You’ve been vaccinated, have the proof, and love the place.
Give them what they want and continue exercising with the instructor you “love”. Highly doubt any good would come from “debating” them. There is no middle ground on this topic.
Leave the club and tell them why. Vaccine passports are tyranny. Vaccines are proving useless.
FWIW, my hubs and I are selling our 2 fam in NY, north of Albany. It’s a great place. Over 4500 sq ft in total.
We got an outrageous, VERBAL offer, well above asking price, sight unseen, inspection waived. It was obvious this was a person buying illegal immigrant stash houses.
Instead of going along with the easy money and complying with what the Realtors and buyers expected of us, we told the POS to pound sand and accepted a written offer at asking price.
Not on my conscience, not on my watch.
Have integrity and do the right thing.
They have altered the terms of their agreement.

we’re going the middle ground because of the advice of our Lord:
Mar 12:31
“And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’[fn] There is no other commandment greater than these.”
1. i agree with you on educating the enemy in a public way, while defending the innocent (in this case non-vaccinated). ours is an employer mandate.
what we’re doing is incrementally submitting exemption requests based on valid (for us) health, medical, religious reasons and getting their reactions (documented) to these.
these records might come in handy later on. i know it’s a lot of work, but it’s for our neighbors.
2. if they deny all the exemptions, then we’ll make them publically enforce their mandate. this serves the purpose of not letting them get away with just coercing weaker types into submission, and perhaps giving them the backbone to stand up for themselves.
3. finally you have the additional option of showing them you’re vaccine card after they have canned you, to show them exactly why you were resisting this illegal mandate.
good fortune to you. i pray for your success as i hope you’ll pray for ours.
If you have the discipline to workout, then you have the discipline to do it wherever, even at home.
I’m 67, and haven’t used a gym for exercise for at least 41 years (not counting church members gym rentals for the families wintertime enjoyment).
I have a workout I do right in the house, including an old nordic track ski machine. Also, an inclined dead end road in front of the house, and a bicycle provide a good workout.
My beautiful wife of 43 yrs (this coming thursday!) still has an amazing figure at 64 (good genetics, I suppose). I know some folks go to a gym to see the ‘curves’. No thanks, I’m quite satisfied with my wife.
You got the shot. Show em the card. Not a big deal.
Take your business elsewhere. Tell them why you’re doing that.
I belong to a private Bridge Club in Florida. They only want vaccinated people to go to the club but they are prohibited by Florida law from asking for vaccination status. If they do ask they can receive a $5000 fine for each occurrence. That’s the type of law needed in every state to retain our freedom.
I did, doesn't change my answer. It's not a teaching moment. It's not negotiable. There is no way the poster will be able to continue going. Get your shot or get another gym.
I think the question is do you believe they're acting in good faith?
Do you think they're trying to protect their clients and do the right thing or do you think they're just trying to pull a power trip because they want you to be a slave.
My guess is they're just regular people trying to get by and do the right thing for their business but I know there are a lot of people here who see fascists behind every tree.
If you think they're acting in good faith and you're vaccinated, upload your card.
Tough choices to make. Seems to be more of them every day.
It DOES seem you and your personal doctor did your due diligence concerning the “vaccine”. Good for both of you.
It seems you are otherwise very happy with the instructors and your fellow devotees. It makes the decision even harder. Question: how often do you go to the facility? Frequency of use indicates what level of satisfaction you’re at. Habits and places are hard to break.
My first inclination* is to go to the management, politely speak to them and find out how wedded to this policy the management is. If written in stone by the corporate lawyers I would inform them I MAY have to look elsewhere for my Pilates fix. Perhaps if enough threaten, politely, to leave they may ixnay the policy.
Talk to the instructors.
Their hands are partially tied but if enough threaten to take their business elsewhere they can go to management over the potential loss of income.
Talk to your classmates.
If enough of them feel the same you may have some leverage. If there are enough you may be able to talk an instructor into giving “private” classes somewhere accessible to all. If enough people are so inclined you may be able to talk a good instructor into going to a new facility that isn’t a “vaccine NAZI”.
* Actually my first thought is to say F’em but that doesn’t help you. %/)
Anyway, good fortune and may the Schwartz Be With You!
