Gym Memberships - Are They Worth It?


OK, the holidays are over. We ate more than we normally will eat in a few short weeks and now the holiday pounds are on. Now it's January and a lot of us want to get our bodies ready for the summer. Meanwhile, gym memberships and personal trainers can become really costly. So here are a few short ti[ps on how to get in shape & save money at the same time.
Work Out at Home. Try working out at home for free. It’s amazing what some people can accomplish with only body-weight exercises and light weights.
Negotiate. The rates at most gyms are negotiable. Don’t pay the asking price.
Don’t Commit! Don’t pay for a whole year until you’ve proven that you’ll use it. And like the prices, initiation fees are negotiable. Ask for a month-to-month membership with no initiation fee.
YMCA. The YMCA will often give discounts or free services to people who cannot afford it. The YMCA is especially useful for people with children.
Insurance Rebate. Some insurance companies give rebates on gym memberships. Worth asking about.
The European Way. Americans spend more time in gyms than almost any other country. Unfortunately, we are also one of the fattest
countries. So what gives? Outside of the US, more people stay healthy by walking instead of driving and eating moderate portions of healthy food. If you have a healthy lifestyle, you won’t need a gym.
So let's all get fit this year and save some $ at the same time.....
