I have not had a gymn membership for over a year. I am trying to get my expenses down. One of the local gymns advertised a really cheap membership and no start up fees. I have been saying that I need to go at least once a week. There is a local gymn that you can use on a as needed basis for $3.00 a visit. I have procrastinated about that. Lately it is hard to get me out of the house sometimes.
I wanted to go to a gymn because I want to use their equipment to do a High Intensity Interval Training at least once a week. Maybe just once a week it is exhausting. I am so glad I did join. It has much more useful equipment than I could have imagined. I can also sit down with a trainer to custom design my work out. It has been over a year since I have had an assessment done.

I used to do it on a treadmill but I had a knee injury. My knee is doing okay but still it bothers me from time to time. I have heard from different people that often after an injury that area is not the same. I just do not want to risk re-injury. The bike and elliptical are lower impact.
That first work out went great. I had to get use to their equipment.
I've also found riding a bike every day, as a supplement to working out, is great cardio. It cost me $500 all in for a new Marin rode/mountain hybrid bike with lights, spare tubes, water bottle holder, etc., and it's been worth every penny. I love getting outdoors and pumping on a bicycle way better than the gym. Fresh air, different weather every day, meet interesting people at parks, etc. It works me and makes me strong from the very core, flattens my gut, really strengthens my legs, and makes me feel horny like a teenager. There are cheaper bikes at Wal-Mart.
Whatever works for you! Best of success, and have fun!
