I joined the wrong gym.

How can I get out of the 3 year contract?

Piss on the DB rack, during busy hours.....

Offer to train other members for $.

Bend a bar.

So, that would get me kicked out?

get a doctor to write you an note stating you can't train anymore due to illness or physical inability

That's one option.

By the way everyone, don't ever join a "rush" gym.

moved more then 50 miles away, and paid the $200 cancellation fee. Like i did

It depends on the place, gold's lets you transfer your membership to another person.

dodge it for 6 years then pay it off at a discount when you need to get pre-approved for a mortgage.

Absolutely. I got sick of spending money on a Ballys membership I never used so I had my title guy write me a fake document saying I had moved 35 miles away(different rules around here). No questions asked, took me 5 minutes. No cancellation fee either.

You guys notice how cheap gym memberships are now? Around me they are 20 bucks a month, no contract. I remember paying 150$ for 3 months not too long ago.

Get a note from the Dr. That should get you out. If that fails, suck it up. You signed the contract.

Most contracts have an out clause... Just match the clause.

Do you still have the contract? Get a lawyer to look over it and find a loop hole.

a few hundred bucks to a lawyer could be worth it in the long run.

I'm going to look over the contact. I've already found some flaws without looking at it.
