There are plenty of inexpensive options for exercise, but you get what you put in. Many gyms offer memberships for less than $10 monthly payments. This usually requires an initiation and/or annual fee, but is enticingly cheap. It is a great deal—if you use it.
How can a gym afford to offer memberships for so little? The sell a lot of memberships. With so many memberships sold, the management, necessarily, does not want you to come to the gym—at least not frequently. Of course, they will want you to renew when the membership contract is up. (Be aware that the contract may actually require that you inform them that you don’t want to continue the membership—that just expired.)
But nothing is stopping you from using the membership. So, if you got it, use it!
There are also the online workout memberships that are, likewise, quite affordable. Again, the company is not concerned whether or not you use the membership. The just want your money (now, that doesn’t mean they are not concerned for your health and fitness). They are a business that is required to make a profit. Whether or not you take full advantage of the opportunity is your choice.
It is easy with such inexpensive memberships to ignore the fact that we are not using it and think we’ll use it “next month”. It is only $10 a month, after all. The logic is poor, of course, but it is easy to convince ourselves that it is a great deal.
It is a better deal the more you use the membership. (Unfortunately, you have to hope that few others realize this.) Again, the choice is yours. Use the membership!
Exercise is important. It is an investment in time and money. Waste neither.
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
Carpe momento!
