Gym cost !



Recommended Posts

I hear people on here complaining about gym cost, the funny part is I guarantee you used to eat out and spend as much for one meal as it cost to join a gym for a month plus how much are you saving by eating less?

So stop complaining and GET-R-DONE!!!

We all got this way for a reason!!!

For me, the cost of a gym membership only hurts when I am not using it the way I should. If I am paying whatever amount of dollars (usually not more than 40 dollars a month for the 24 hour fitness SuperSport - the best gym in my area) if I am using it - I don't care one bit.

I got kicked out of a Planet Fitness once, was good times had by all involved.

I currently have memberships at 2 different gyms, it's a pain sometimes. I had 3 at one time, the 3rd being sponsored, but that gym closed their doors recently and the other took up my partial sponsorship, a large bodybuilder/powerlifting gym. My other is at 24 hour fitness, which I use mostly for the steam room, cardio and the fact I can go at 2-3am whenever I want to and get in a good workout without driving an hour in the middle of the night to open the other gym.

It all comes down to perspective, food costs versus gym costs, and how bad the person wants it. It's understandable if you're barely squeaking by, but there are plenty of gyms out there these days that are cheaper, planet fitness for one is a good gym just to have access to equipment, and anytime fitness isn't all too bad either. I think my 24 hour membership is around $60, and that includes my wife as a 2nd member. Give up that chai latte one day a week, that's $5 a week, $20 a month you could be putting towards a better, healthier thing in your life. you just have to be willing to go through with the removal of certain things and willing to give up what you don't need to get where you want to get.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
