AIBU to ask for a refund?

I'm 50-50 on emailing and asking and tbh, I'm veering on the side of not asking as A it's probably rude and B I'm not 'entitled' to one

So 2 and a half weeks ago I signed up to some fitness / fat loss group coaching thing. All sounded great and I need a push to start being healthier and more disciplined with myself. I've followed this woman on Instagram for months now and decided to take the plunge.

£199 for 6 weeks. You get access to a group of the other members and a couple of group check ins. Your calories and steps are set for you and there's workouts to follow.

Anyway, I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting but I've signed up and done ... precisely nothing. Posted once in the group. Not done an 'accountability' check in and well, not done a thing. Not logged in. No tracking. Zero

I did 'reach out' to my 'assigned coach' and said as much, said I was not in the right head space, said I hadn't done anything. She sent me back two sentences telling me to start small.

So there's another 4 weeks to go and I've basically wasted my money. I'm in a slump, I don't like the structure of it all much and it's just not for me

I'd written the money off tbh but chatting with a friend and she said 'you should email them tbh and no harm in asking, they'll be able to see your total lack of engagement'

So what would you do? Write it off? Email them and explain? Or something else?

And yes - I know this is all on me and my expectations and my lack of oomph so I probably will not do a thing - but a little part of me wonders if I should

sounds expensive - so v profit oriented and unlikely to give a refund just because you can't be arsed.

Currently doing a nine week in person course at local gym, weekly group sessions, use the gym weekly on your own, and optional badminton. Central London, £20.
When you're 'in the right headspace, look for something cheaper.
However much you pay, you won't get fit/lose weight just because you've signed up & flashed your debit card.

Start now. You still have four weeks and could feel a real difference by December.
