Gym Memberships

Consider buying a gym membership during the summer and be sure to negotiate for the best deal. Gyms may be eager for sign-ups at this time, so be on the lookout for membership promotions and sales. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, even with gyms closed during the quarantine, membership has been up by 39%! This is because gyms or gym systems that had an online presence or equipment with online capabilities (like Peloton) have been given away exercise sessions for free. Here are a few gyms that are offering promotions and free trials right now.
