As anyone who knows me, knows how important fitness is to my life.  I do have a gym membership and I use it 4-5 times a week.  But, I do feel a gym is not for everybody or everybody's lifestyle.  Before taking the plunge into a gym (the initial fee can be costly, do do your research), you really do have to ask yourself how much value you personally will get out of it.  We have to be very careful when adding anything to our budget's monthly costs.  Each of these expenses on their own can be inexpensive, but together they can rack up a hefty bill. 

Homework:  Look at all of your monthly EFT Transfters from your checking and your credit cards.  Does each add true and meaningful value to your life.  If you are not using it to the full potential, you either need to get rid of it or ask yourself why you are not using it to potential the cost deserves (then get to using it, no excuses). 

I love the idea of getting a two week pass to make sure it fits your lifestyle.  In two weeks, you can make a very educated decision on the value of a gym membership for you. There are some very helpful hints for those of you looking into a gym membership.
