Being Broke Is Not An Excuse To Get Fat

How to save money on your gym membership

If you're trying to save money during the economic downturn, here's the skinny on saving money on your gym membership.

* Shop around. Membership dues are going down. Some gyms charge as little as $10 a month.

* Cut the fat. Group classes, basketball, a pool and childcare all sound nice. But do you really need them? You can save big bucks with a cheaper gym that offers fewer amenities.

* Try Costco. It turns out you can pick up a two-year gym membership at certain Costcos that costs less than $300.

* And finally, go online. Check out Web sites like gymticket.com. Type in your workout needs, and you'll get a list of gyms in your area. You can compare prices and print out free trial passes.
