There are more than a few forces at play here. It's not completely clear cut. Like, how much is this husband overstepping his bounds by insisting his wife put the work in to walk up the hills he wants her to? You can't really force someone to do something they won't do. And at the same time, she's taking the path of least resistance by just lying about going to the gym. There's definitely a mixture of goals here, and neither party agrees on the correct course of action.

The moral judges of the internet bring up some very relevant points. It certainly sounds like he's being overly controlling by carving out time in her day to exercise while also investigating her progress. At the same time, if she had an adult conversation with her husband, they might be able to come to a resolution that doesn't involve wasting a bunch of money while she drinks Frappuccinos in a strip mall parking lot.

Us? We just think gym memberships are a scam. The only people winning this one is the gym. They make their money on crap like this all the time, and prefer it if you don't use their facilities. Bunch of ripped, flexing bastards. For a wildly clear cut case of entitlement, here's the entitled parent who bullied kids off a playground and wondered if they were in the wrong.
