Many gyms and fitness centers are offering discounts this time of year. But before you sign up, or agree to a yearlong contract, there’s a cheaper option you should consider: your local recreation center.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — ‘Tis the season for New Year’s resolutions. If you’re setting up goals for 2023, one might be getting healthier.
Every gym is different, and so is every person’s list of needs. I’ve had eight gym memberships since I was a teenager. While I don’t have much fitness advice, I’ve spent enough time in gyms to know what to look for — and what the best bang for your buck usually is. Some gyms stay open late; others are available 24 hours, seven days a week. Some recreation centers have shorter hours or close on Sundays. If you’re trying to exercise before work or late at night, it’s something to consider.
When shopping around, consider this: A salesman told me the gym’s pricing is changing Jan. 1. If you can find a similar deal somewhere, it’s a great perk.In my opinion, a gym membership is a better route for beginners than buying a treadmill, weight bench or whatever all-in-one fitness machine is popular right now.
I happened to get memberships at two of the cheaper rec centers in the area. A yearly membership can cost anywhere from $150 to $300 around Cuyahoga County. And those prices are for residents.
