Comments on: How-to Save Money on Gym Memberships & Are They Worth it? http://studenomics.com/application/monthly-gym-memberships/ Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:08:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: youngandthrifty http://studenomics.com/application/monthly-gym-memberships/comment-page-1/#comment-18630 youngandthrifty Wed, 06 Jan 2010 03:54:28 +0000 http://studenomics.com/?p=1461#comment-18630 Good point Edwin! (I am sure gyms get a HUGE boost in revenue because of everyone's resolutions!) I am considering hitting up a gym membership myself. I was thinking of going with the local community centres. I have a corporate discount of 25% but then it doesn't include any classes. I think they can be worth it if you use them, and depending on what they offer. I think I would pay about $30 max though. Some of them make you pay for 2 years upfront. I think I would be happy with a membership if I went twice a week and if it was only $30. Thats' like $3.75 each time. I guess you have to "break it down" to see if it would be worth it, eh? Good point Edwin! (I am sure gyms get a HUGE boost in revenue because of everyone’s resolutions!)

Gym's get a huge boost during the start of the year when everyone resolves to go to the gym and work out. Yet when it comes down to it a very large proportion of those people just stop going and waste all the money that went into their memberships. I happen to know far more people who got a membership and stopped going than people who stuck with it. You’ve hit it right on the dot, the value you get is really dependent on your use.

I got about 4-5 times a week so I clearly get my money's worth. Try looking for specials or even referring friends to get a bonus. They are worth it if you use them.
