I signed up for my gym membership at Virgin Active on Monday afternoon and was told that I would be contacted "probably" the next day to arrange my induction (to show me how to use all the machinery and tell me what muscles each one works on). I patiently waited and heard nothing. The last 2 days I've popped in there after work and given up after seeing there were queues of at least 4 people each time.
I finally managed to sort it out this afternoon when I phoned them and enquired what was happening. The girl on the end of the phone asked when I wanted to book it for. I asked if they did inductions on Sunday's. She replied that they do them every day of the week. So, I asked if I could book one for Sunday afternoon.
"Tomorrow?" was her enquiring reply!
"No! Sunday" I wasn't happy at having to phone them, and she wasn't helping my mood.
"What time?"
"How long do the induction last for?" I asked
"Half an hour"
"Okay can I book it for 1 o'clock please?"
"Tomorrow?" I'm glad I was on the phone because I felt like punching her. Was I in a Victoria Wood sketch? "Can I take your order?"
"No Sunday!"
"Do you want one o'clock, one fifteen, one thirty...?"
"ONE O'CLOCK!"
She then took my name and confirmed the details back to me. I almost expected her to say Saturday, instead of Sunday. Let's hope that she DID indeed book it correctly. She also stated that it would be with Adam. I wonder if Adam is the gorgeous South African guy I saw when I was there on Monday? And, if it was, I wonder if he will show me the steam room and/or sauna personally?
