I bought my first gym membership when I turned 19 years old. I chose a lifetime membership from a local canadian franchise. After all, I enjoyed going to the gym and all of my friends at that time went to the same one. I just knew I will be able to make use of it for the rest of my life. And what a sweet deal, I could just pay a maintenance fee of under $10 a month after the third year!

Statistics say that a gym membership is the least used membership. You pay your monthly dues every single month for what? So that when you are ready to get serious about losing weight that it will be there when you need it? A close friend of mine told me that this is why he still has a gym membership. He’s been a member of the same gym for about 20 years and used it for 1/10th of the time.

Of course, you will probably have to hear the story over and over again…..

Each time it will be a different twist. With a different smile. And a look that takes him miles away as if the moment is right here, right now.

That’s when you know you’ve hit his sweet spot – he finishes telling each story with the same ending “it is all thanks to my wife”.

Now, you’ve really done it.

You have set a precedent untoppable by any of your friend’s wives or their significant others.

Is everyone really buying into the trend of “a beautiful body in under 30 minutes”?

Today’s modern fitness gym will offer you more than just one reason why a gym membership is just worth 30 minutes of your time on a daily basis. Look at all the circuits and systems they have available to chose from. My gym alone has 3 different sets of 30 minute circuits and quite popular since it’s always packed. If my gym was Noah’s ark, that side would tip over and the stretching section would definitely be up in the air.
