We all know that working out has many benefits.  Here are "Ten Reasons to Work Out That Has Nothing to Do With a Sexy Bod."  He left out "happiness", so it's really eleven. Here's another benefit if you have access to a Costco and a 24 Hour Fitness!!  I hate going to my local 24 Hour Fitness and watching people sign up if they are not getting the best price.  I would really love to share this huge money saving offer.  For the past couple years, Costco has been selling a 2 year, Sport Club membership for $299.  This breaks down to a measly $12.46 a month.  Keep in mind 24 Hour Fitness has monthly deals but NONE as good as this.  They do offer a pre pay for 5 years and the real savings come AFTER that 5 years.  Then the monthly fees are approximately $9.  If you're able to come up with a large chunk of money, that's a good one.  With this economy, coming up with $299 may be tough too.  To put it in perspective as of 01.07.10, their special is $30 a month, pay first and last month's dues, having the initiation fee of only $10.  For two years...that comes out to be $730!!  That's a difference of $431!!  Crazy huh?  Their other special is to pre pay for one year for only $250 which for two years it would come out to be $500.  The difference being $201.  I'm not sure on processing fees on 24 Hour Fitness pre pay.  For Costco...it's zip, zero, zilch.

For those of you who have signed up within thirty days...you can still cancel your membership and purchase this Costco one.  Please note that whatever you pay monthly, it will be your price forever! I pay $16 a month.  I didn't do the Costco one because I don't know how long they will sell them. I didn't want two years to come and go and then run the risk of paying $35 a month or something ridiculous like that.  Last month's special was $35 a month and no processing fee which I think was $99.  

Let's all get fit while saving money!!  There's no reason to pay full price.  Go with a friend who has a Costco membership.  One last Costco savings thing.  Your Guest can also use the Eye Exam place. Which means they can order glasses and contacts with you.  

Don't you LOOOOOOOVE saving money!?!
