One of my goals this year is to maintain my health and decided to spend money to make it clear to myself that I put some efforts in it.
So, here I went to the gym that is a minute away from my house to get a membership quotation.
Initiation fee: $149
Monthly membership: $54 if I pay 6 months in advance, $64 if I pay month to month
I didn't sign up right away, told the guy I will think about it and came home.
This morning, I told my frined and she told me other people joined with only $49 processing fee. Boy, I'm glad I didn't sign up right away!
I'm kind of discouraged by this right now and I didn't go back there to talk to the guy. I'm thinking about next "deal" to come around and sign up when initiation fee goes down to $49.
Or, should I go back and negotiate? Boy, I hate doing it.

Have you checked out Fitness 19? Very bare bones, but it is VERY cheap, no commitment, and is perfect for us. If you want a pool and a shower though, then you gotta pay big bucks... (Also their $10 membership, the catch is you can only go certain days or hours or something. Very weird. We pay $29/month for the 2 of us. We paid $200 or something for childcare for life. Or until they go out of business... LOVE it).

There's Fitness 19 around the corner from our house, but they don't have what I want, yoga & pool.
However!! I found a deal at 24 hour fitness. It's $199.99 for one year. It is one time deal for new members and it works for me!! It's less than $20, and they have yoga & pool, and open 24 hours. I signed up for it today.
