Can anyone explain Fit4Less's math here?

2 weeks = $11.99 + Tax
1 Month = $11.99 x 2 = $23.98 + Tax
1 Year = $23.98 x 12 = $287.76 + Tax
Annual Cleaning Fee = $287.76 + $44 = $331.76 + Tax
Total + Tax = $374.88

Why are they charging me $401.99? Am I tripping out?

2 weeks = $11.99 + Tax
1 Year = $11.99 x 26 = $311.74 + Tax
Annual Cleaning Fee = $311.74 + $44 = $355.74 + Tax
Total + Tax = $401.99

Almost makes me want to consider other gyms after everything opens up fully but I suspect they all increased to make up for lost revenue

I'm not saying it's unreasonable, it's just a bit surprising prices increased by over 25% in a matter of 4 years when the service hasn't really changed (maybe more locations were added). I'm just saying at over $400/year, I'd start considering another, bigger gym franchise with better or more equipment. Atleast that was the case when I was shopping around for gyms a few years ago. I've been an advocate for fit4less for years since I think their locations are plentiful in the GTA and they get the job done. It's probably still a good price in comparison to everything else right now but I also wouldn't be in a hurry to join the gym yet until this pandemic thing has fizzled out.

I don't think 25% over 4 yrs is outrageous, sure it sucks, but I see a lot of other stuff where inflation has hit much worse than 25% over 4 yrs. Goodlife is the 4th largest gym chain in the world (based on number of members) yet they needed to take out a huge loan from the government to survive during covid (not a interest free loan btw). I'm just glad I still have my $15 bi-weekly GL membership, seems like a great price compared to what I see others paying these days
