Physical Fitness

So most of us are on a health and physical fitness kick right now and I am not exempt. The average gym membership in Ohio can range from $20-$100 per month. I was lucky in Ohio to have a great gym in my building that offered a free boot camp class (which if offered more than once a week would have produced a great body because I actually went). There were the usual suspects in Ohio: Bally’s, YMCA, City Club Gyms and the suburban gyms with big windows for the beautiful and perfectly physically fit to taunt us in that honestly weren’t worth the drive to. Most of those options were relatively pricy if you didn’t go all the time and often a little ways away.
When I moved here last week, I notice a fairly hip looking gym called planet fitness. My mom has been on my back about getting my NYC body which I hoped would be taken care of by the insane amount of walking that the average person does everyday (I guess I’m not that person since I only live 4 blocks from work). I decided to check planet fitness out and I couldn’t believe what I signed up for.
$1 down, $29 per year annual fee to be paid October 1st of every year, $10 per month with unlimited access (the gym is open 24 hours 5 days a week plus Saturday and Sunday), and the actual gym is underground, so there are no street level peeping Tom’s. Included in my $10 monthly membership are 30 free classes offered throughout the week. The best thing is planet fitness is just 2 blocks from my house. No, actually the best thing is the membership is $10 per month (for the life of the contract) so if I don’t make it I don’t feel to cheated. I’m not sure if there is a planet fitness coming to Cleveland or if there’s one already there but it’s feeling like a sweet deal. Maybe I’ll head there now (or not).
