24 Hour Fitness
I have had a few people write in asking about the new sponsor on the left that replaced Prosper. From John in Portland:
“Hey Jesse, aren’t you a financial blog? Whats with the 24 hour fitness sign/sponsor?”
After my new years resolution article where I encouraged everyone to follow through on their resolutions including getting fit both physically and financially I received an email from a VP at 24 hour fitness asking me about my experience. I responded that I was very happy with my local 24 hour fitness sport and things went from there. I do not personally plug companies with graphic affiliate ads unless I believe in them (as I still do with p2p lending and ING banking).
As most of you know, I am not an advocate of the ultra frugal lifestyle but the responsibly frugal lifestyle. I believe spending money on things that are of great value, and I believe fitness is one of those things that is valuable and worth spending some money on. If you are entrenched at your local gym or comfortable with your home gym, by all means keep at that. If you are looking for a gym try out a 24 hour with the 30 free day trial. Hopefully at some point I can find a introductory offer for TPS readers.

Hey man, I don’t care who the sponsors are as long as we keep getting great reads!
I tried out mine here in Dallas and I liked it quite a bit (but they would only give me a 7 day trial). Hey I am all about supporting your sponsers though.
I switched from a local gym to 24 hour fitness in December. It was an average saving of 27.5 dollars a month. The largest problem I have is the 24 hour fitness closest to me is really really dirty. There is one 15 miles away which is nice, though the one near me is dirty in every way. Luckily I only use free weights.
The price I got was from Costco, $298 for two years.
Hey man, I didn’t know you work out at 24 Hour Fitness. Let me know if you need someone to lift with
Ive gone a couple times with the trial pass and i like it so far but I have to admit, the no-towel-service is really annoying
It is important to keep your resolution, but you must start off in small increments. if you want to lose 100 pounds say, This month, I want to lose 10 until you reach your goal. Also, I would not suggest spending money on weight lose things. Only you can motivate yourself to do something! Good post
Any how money saved is money earned.http://www.habitchanger.com/moneyandyou/
