It's hard to find a good gym with a pool. Swimming is a Bougie sport, but it's very good for you. Unsurprisingly, you need to fork out more to get better services. It's not like OP's fault that they are forced to fork out more money to exercise by swimming. Their social circle's changed? They are at a gym surrounded by bougie ass holes. They aren't changing their social circles by going to a gym with better services.
