I love having a gym membership. My gym is conveniently located near both my apartment and my office, so getting there is easy. I enjoy balancing my own workouts with the classes my gym offers, like yoga and cycling, and I love being able to have control over when I work out. Sometimes I'm a morning person, sometimes I find I'm more productive after work. And, my gym has a sauna. I love saunas.
In my case, I feel as though I'm getting my money's worth, and my gym membership is an expense I'll continue to factor into my budget.
For many people though, a traditional gym membership just doesn't check out. Some people just don't like working out on their own and would prefer the direction of a fitness instructor, some people just don't have the time to get there. Plus, gym memberships can be expensive - if you're not visiting the gym often, you may feel like it's just a waste of money.
The good news is, these days there are plenty of alternatives to the classic gym membership. These services can make working out more cost-effective, and help you find a fitness routine that works with your schedule.
