I'm not keen on joining gyms. I've had two ex-significant others who've joined and then pay the monthly fee while rarely going. They often can't get out of the year or two or three obligation they signed up for, so it turns out a real waste of money.

I say go a few months paying at the door. If you keep it up and are totally sure you're going to keep doing it for at least the minimum contract period, then go ahead and join.

I get gym memberships at a discount through my health plan, and am never obligated for more than 6 months.

Oh, and there's a reason i'm asking for input first, though i do have some goals in mind, for which a gym is rather ideal.

Well, I still stick to the idea of try before you buy. See if they'll let you have a short trial at whichever gym you end up going for.

Also, when are you more likely to use it? If it's after work, what better than to fall out of work and into the gym without a significant drive. And you might change jobs at some point, so a chain would be more likely to have another gym near your new job and with any luck near your home too, so you can go at the weekends.

FYI... double check that the discount is actually worth it. I was able to get a much better deal not going through the health plan discount program.

Abolutely, it would be silly to presume that there were not better options out there. Thank you for the reminder. As it is, i'm strongly considering going outside that plan anyway. Thank you for the reality check, heavens know i need those. :)
