IT’S INEVITABLE
It doesn’t have to be extremely expensive. There are some gyms that are monstrous fitness centers complete with restaurants, spas, and more amenities than you will probably ever need or use. Although many people enjoy these amenities greatly (and probably feel quite special for belonging to such an expensive fitness center) there is really no reason to jump into membership at a place like this unless that’s what you need to get motivated. A lot of gyms require a contractual membership, so once you join one you either have to stay there for a predetermined number of months or years while paying the monthly dues or you need to break the contract and pay the fees associated with early termination. If you live in an area that has several different gyms to choose from then you should take the time to tour the various offerings and figure out where you can get the best bang for your buck. If money is an issue for you then don’t be shy about asking for ways you can have enrollment fees waived or reduced prices on monthly membership fees. Sales consultants at gyms often don’t offer reduced prices for anything, but if you ask to speak to a manager you may find great ways to get a lower overall cost for your gym membership. Some gyms will offer reduced membership prices for members who only visit the gym on three or four predetermined days during the week. This can actually work better for some people who like to have a workout schedule set in stone because if you know you have paid to go to the gym every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday then you will always know that these are the days you need to go. You’ll probably pay less than half the amount you would have for a full membership that is valid throughout the entire week. Just be sure that you don’t forsake an optimal workout just because you’re trying to get a good deal on your gym membership…if you know you’ll want access to the gym every day and that this is what you need to stay motivated then don’t even bother asking about a limited membership. It’s great to save money, but you do need to do what’s necessary to get healthy. Do a home gym if you can’t join one. You might have limited mobility, or maybe you are just entirely too scared to join a gym right now. If there is a paralyzing reason why you aren’t able to join a gym at this time then you should try to fashion a home gym as best you can. Your home gym doesn’t have to be elaborate – although if you have the money and the space then go ahead and knock yourself out – but your starting point can be something as simple as an exercise mat parked in front of your television so you can either do some exercise DVDs or at the very least do some stretching exercises while watching regular TV. As time progresses and you start to feel ready to expand your exercise repertoire then you can slowly start adding some other elements to your home gym. You can buy some light weights or resistance bands and you may eventually wind up sporting an impressive collection of exercise equipment as you get more and more involved in getting into better shape. You should evolve in your efforts to someday either develop a nice home gym that effectively gives you the workout you want or instead work up the courage to join a regular gym where you can be pushed even harder to achieve your goals. If you have a steadfast way about you and you know you can get fit with some water jugs as weights and fast jogs around the block for cardio then you needn’t feel compelled to join a gym as long as you are seeing results and you continue to stay motivated. If your efforts at your home gym prove not to be as effective as you had hoped, or if you begin to plateau and can’t seem to make any more progress, then it’s time to join a gym. |
