How to Save Some Cash

First off, let’s address the dirty little secret of the gym business. Studies show that 60% of people who have gym memberships never actually go more than one time per year. This is why the business has a high sales oriented approach, because they can sell unlimited memberships and never worry about being overcapacity. For this reason, they are able to offer memberships at a lower price than advertised. If you want to try this approach, go in and speak with somebody, and then be willing to walk away (similar to purchasing a used car.) At the very least, you should be able to the initiation fee waived. Also, most health insurance plans offer some kind of cash back incentive based on how many times per month that you go. For example, you might get $15 per month for going nine times, or $25 for going 12. Make sure you look into your specific insurance. Enjoy your new life! Treat yourself to a brazilian blowout or manicure/pedicure, you’ve earned it.
