Weight Loss on a Budget Tip #8: Cancel the Gym Membership You Don’t Use

October 8, 2013 by Ajima Jackson 4 Comments

Hi Ladies, Here is your weight loss on a budget tip for day 8 of our October Challenge.

Tip #8 – Cancel that Gym Membership that You Don’t Use. This one is a no brainer, Ladies.  This also extends to any exercise classes, yoga classes or personal training sessions that you’ve signed up for and are paying a recurring fee for (monthly for example).  Cut out the cost of any services you aren’t using.  Sure, you might decide to go back to the gym or get serious about your form when doing “downward dog” at some point, but until you make that decision, don’t waste the money.

Instead, invest in some workout DVDs you can exercise at home or check out the exercise section on the OnDemand section of your cable box/dish for workout videos.   Even more cost effective, you can find free videos online or walk in your neighborhood.  You don’t have to go to the gym or a fitness center to lose weight.  Those are great, if you can afford to pay the fees, but if you can’t there are still options.

    Thanks for the update. The workouts help for weight loss. I think free hand exercise at home is more beneficial than doing hardcore exercises at Gyms.

    I cancelled my gym membership because I never used it. Instead, I purchased the Total Gym XLS and I use it everyday! In the 1st month, I lost 15 lbs and I have been drinking my green smoothies every morning and a fruit/spinach smoothies for lunch and I feel great. I only weigh myself once a month, but I know that I have dropped at least two dress sizes from size 16 to size 14. I want to get down to a size 11/12 and loose 25 lbs. more.
