I also joined a gym because I was starting to feel really gross and lethargic. I would come to work and just sit at my desk and work, work, work. I wouldn't even take my lunch hour. Now, I make it a point to get up from my chair and leave the building during lunch hour and I'm feeling a lot better than I was before. I just go to the gym and work out for about 45 minutes and come back feeling so refreshed.

I think the cost of gyms vary depending on where you live. I definitely think gyms like 24 hour fitness are way overrated and overpriced and over crowded! I tend to like the smaller gyms, but even they can be expensive. Right now I'm paying $45/month and I thought that was a lot! Of course I was able to waive the $100 enrollment fee because I negotiated them down since I signed up for a year membership.

My recommendation would be to see what sort of discounts they will give. Are they a daily, weekly, monthly gym? Or are they a 6 month or 1 year type of gym. Usually the more months you sign up for, the better the discount. My gym charged $100 for enrollment and $55/month. Since I signed for a year, I was able to have them waive the enrollment and drop the monthly fee.

In any case, joining a club will be good for you...whatever the cost
