Some organizations use social media as their primary (if not their only) means of communicating with members. My gym, for example, uses Facebook to post day-to-day announcements.

That doesn't mean it's not possible to opt-out. It just means you need to give up something to do it. I'm not on Social Media (unless you consider HN to be), so it is possible.

What could be so important from a gym to warrant day-to-day announcements anyway?

I go to the gym regularly...

This is a class-centric gym, so announcements are about changes in schedule and programming, especially if there's inclement weather.

Just show up and do whatever they’re doing? No need to know in advance.
