One time I had $301.

What if my fitness goal is fitten-niss doughnut in my mouth?

Hey Bleeb, we see ya buddy

That must be email brand carpeting, it’s got all the @ signs on it

This guy may have the most successful gym weight loss program ever.

That’s good motivation

I have a gym membership. I just forgot where the gym is.

Bleeb seems shocked, but it’s not a bad motivator when you think about it.

Set low goals.

A smart business strategy and a customer motivational tool all in one ‘toon?…

… thought I was readin’ the Wall Street Journal for a minute!

Well, if that doesn’t motivate you then nothing will! haha! :D

The owner can spend that money right now!

Is that an Anaconda on her shoulder ?

That’s actually a pretty good idea.

You’ve got to read the fine print!

That’s how they make their money. After two weeks, people get bored with it and don’t come back.

Not a bad incentive program….

My fitness goal was to show up here, so show me the money.

The catch is the gym gets to determine the fitness goals not the customer.

I recommend looking up comedian Ryan Hamilton, and his bit on cancelling your gym membership.

The spirit of Vic Tanny’s lives on!

Never happen. Their business model is predicated on near zero attendance. Never going to incentivize that behaviour

Ah! Motivation!
