Manipulation to take long term contract

I went to virgin active today the 2nd february 2015 to<br> sign up for gym subscription. On my arrival I met an<br> employee at virgin active by the name of Bafana<br> Mahlang. He asked me if I would like to join the gym to<br> which I rep**** yes. He then directed me into the gym<br> to start the membership sign up process. I asked him if<br> they had short term subcriptions like a month, 3 month<br> and so on and he said no, they only have 12 and 24<br> months gym subscriptions. I was dissapointed, but<br> because I wanted to start excercising I thought about<br> taking the 12 months subscription and enquired what<br> happens when I cancel the membership and he told me<br> about the 30% charge for remainder of contract which<br> was why I rather would have taken a short term<br> subscription. Although I wasnt pleased by this I<br> convinced myself to go ahead and sign up. we then<br> went ahead and he helped me sign up. After we had<br> finished and he printed my copies for me, I noticed<br> check boxes of short term subscriptions on the copies.<br> which to me meant this option were available but I was<br> **** to about.
