Common marketing ploy that gets those of
us who are mathematically challenged. : /

For example, I was proud of taking up Planet
Fitness's offer of $10 gym visits, until I realized that
if I go three times a week that is $120+ a month,
a helluva lot more than the standard $600 a year or
so. Not much of a bargain.
