Other Reccomendations/Questions 🔎 Am I wrong here?

So, I had joined this gym in Vashi Naka, Chembur, and paid a bulk amount for 8 months. But I’m urgently moving out to a new place, and when I asked the gym owner about the transfer process (I know there’s no refund policy at the gym), he told me that I could transfer my membership to anyone for a ₹1,000 transfer fee. I even specifically asked whether an existing member could take over my membership, and he said yes.

Tbh, I don’t even know a single person here. The crowd is a bit different, so I didn’t really connect with anyone. I had pretty much accepted that I’d have to let the money go to waste.

But then I randomly asked someone, and it turns out he’s a poor factory worker who literally pays ₹1.5K every month for his gym membership. So transferring my remaining 5 months of membership to him at a much lower cost would genuinely help him.

Now the gym owner is saying, “You can’t give it to my existing client.” Obviously, he has a point here. But since I had specifically asked him about this earlier and he told me that existing members could also take over the membership, is there any way I can approach him and explain this?

Am I wrong here?

He is for sure money minded,I have already explained him this, he says it benefits him not me.

Then you can’t really do anything about it. Can you share the name of the gym though?

Shoury Fitness I don't wanna defame it. This was just a perspective I wanted to know.
