You do cost the gym money every time you go. But only after a certain point (anything more than light use) and if you go at peak times.

Basically, the space you take up at peak time is another membership they can't sell because of potential overcrowding.

Is that really a thing? I've _never- found a gym that has said "no sorry, we can't sell you a membership because we're full"

I’ve definitely tried out a gym and not joined because it was too crowded when I wanted to go

I've canceled a gym membership because it was too crowded at the times I wanted to go.
