My Bride Has Joined a Cult

They will have all of your money within a year.
I went one time for a complimentary class and I swear they pestered me about joining for close to a year, even though I'd tell them I wasn't interested. I finally had to call THEM to tell them to take me off their list.
I went with my ex-wife and if I recall correctly, it was mostly women who made up most-if-not-all the membership.
Interesting fact - as a kid, my bride got free Orange Julius from her sister who worked at one. Circle of Life.
I loved Orange Julius, so they changed the recipe.
All good things are murdered by change.
- 1 cup milk (whole, 2%, or skim)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 6-ounce can frozen orange juice concentrate
- 1/2 cup sugar (or sugar substitutes, check package for equivalence)
- 1 1/2 cups ice
Mostly women? At a fitness program?
Any other details (or photos) to report about your experience?
Edit to add: after all, you did say it was your ex-wife.
Yeah, my bride went to a pilates studio for a summer a couple of years back. They have all our money.
Marv is right . . . .
Nah. Those places that require expensive memberships are usually filled with high maintenance women.
Of course not. But the website I got it from claims it's better.

It wasn’t.
Pale imitations.

Slight hijack of this hijack - are Orange Julius and Dairy Queen merged in the rest of the country?
You have to be really creative to justify ordering both an orange julius and a mister misty in one sitting, but those are the times you thank your parents for pushing you to go to college.

If you come to my church I call you to say thanks for visiting, and encourage you to come anytime. Then it is up to you.
edit, my wife stole orange Julius with her sisters help, who worked at one
Mrs. TMFT is an OT member. It really works for her and her workout style. She loves it.
The unlimited membership is expensive on a monthly basis, but you only really feel cheated if/when they miss workouts and that $12 no-show fee hits. There have been a few arguments in my house when there's a month where we pay $130 or whatever it is for the privilege of working out there with another $60 on top for the privilege of NOT working out there.
Make sure she knows when the schedule/sign ups hit. Because nothing worse than being wait listed a bunch of times and realizing that you paid a lot of money for her to be willing to workout but not being able to get into her class.

A couple years ago i was drinking about a case of beer a week. Tell her to slow down if she is doing that, b/c once i stopped drinking that much it is easy to keep the weight off. If you don't feel comfortable telling her i can, or we can have an intervention....your call.
On the topic of Orange Julius, the Hilltop Drive In on the west end of Cambridge City lets you customize your shake flavors. Out that way over the weekend and decided to do an orange creamsicle version. They used equal parts vanilla soft serve and orange slush with extra orange syrup and a scoop of marshmallow fluff before they blended it. Turned out pretty good, not 1970's/80's Orange Julius good, but good.
The original ice cream truck orange dreamcicles with the creamy outer orange sherbet made with real cream were the best. (Oreos we’re still made with real coco powder back then too).
Workout Scientology.
Involves cans, but not in a good way
Intervention ASAP
