Gym memberships

Gyms have been hit hard during the pandemic, and not all states are allowing members to exercise indoors at the moment. But if it’s all systems go in your area, January is the time to join. You can expect fantastic specials for two reasons: First, gyms are seriously hurting right now, so they’re doing what they can to entice new members. And second, this is the time when everyone makes their New Year’s resolutions; since getting in shape is always a biggie, gyms wisely provide a little extra incentive for people with this goal.

As in years past, gyms will be running specials all month long, says Julie Ramhold, a consumer analyst with DealNews.com. “But if you wait until the end of the month to sign up, you might find a better discount compared with the beginning,” she notes. Plus, there’s a good chance your contract will also waive select fees that can add up to $100. Typically, at-home exercise equipment also goes on sale in January, but we don’t expect to see much of that this year, as demand has been incredibly high over the past eight months.
