Do Gyms Offer Better Deals Around The Holidays

[Nuke Dukem]

I was gonna wait it out to see if I could get a better deal for a membership..

I know someone said they offer a certain number of personal training sessions as an incentive, but I dont want that at all.. All those are one big ploy to get you signed up-- waste of time..

I want a free month or lower monthly fee

Some places have the good deals around new years and late spring/early summer. In my experience, most big/successful gyms do this.

Other places only throw out deals when business slows, usually around this time of the year. Gym I used to go to was like this.

I've been at the same gym since February and they just announced some deals for new people this November.... 1st deal type ish they've had since I've been there

just grab your phone and call several places and see if they'll give you a deal

Yes around January

Probably almost nothing down

Wait until January, a lot of people set new year's resolutions to lose weight, a lot want to join gyms and they all try to beat each other with the offers.

There's usually no such thing as a good deal at a gym, unless you get month-to-month. You might get a lower price, but they'll probably lock you in for a year or two and most lazy people never see the gym past January. A gym would probably violate the fire code if every paying member actually went to the gym with regularity.

We just had an enrollment blitz at the Fitness Connection around here (they used to be Gold's Gym), it was 9.95/mo with zero enrollment fee. I had a 29.99 monthly due when it was Gold's so I asked how I could get the new fee. They had a lil snow bunny at the local car wash signing nikkas up, and she told me to cancel my current one then sign up again. Then she even signed my 12 year old up since he's tall for his age and could pass for 16. Now it's 20 for 2 people.

Golds that I go to is running a promo tomorrow sign up for a year and get the 2nd year for free. Problem is they're still closed because of Sandy so I don't know how that will work lol.
