How To Spend Your Fitness Dollars - Expensive Germantown Gym Membership Alternatives |

Spending YOUR Fitness $$

Something to think about when it comes to spending your fitness dollar

For years I was a member of a gym and frankly the gym owners didn’t always like it because I would go 4-6 times per week. I abused my membership which is not the case for most people.

Here is the typical gym membership scenario.

You buy a 6 or 12 month locked in membership at $55 to $65/month. You are excited and go 4 -5 times per week for 4-6 weeks. Your program gets boring, your life gets a little busier, and the motivation starts to slip to the point where before you know it you are only going 2 times per week.

A month of this goes by and your still not really getting any results in the mirror or at the clothing store so as faith would have it, 2 times per week turns into 1 time per week. Now life all the sudden gets crazy busy and fitness time gets put on the back burner and 1 time per week is now maybe once a month.

So you do the math. That is $55-65 per workout by yourself without any professional assistance to keep you motivated and encouraged.

Now for you die hard fitness enthusiasts you keep going 4 to 5 times per week but you do the same thing every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. As a result you see no results after 2 months of getting up at 5:00am or trudging in after work at 5:00 pm fight for a treadmill that frankly you hate doing.

I have been involved with fitness gyms for over 25 years. I have seen it all the time and I know what it is like for most people that want a better body but struggle to keep the motivation going. Fitness will never become a lifestyle change unless you have supportive systems and people around you.

Is there a fitness alternative??

I think there is and it’s why I got started my own fitness bootcamp in 2000. By setting up professionally designed workouts focused on fat loss, developing lean muscle mass, improving flexibility, developing better movement skills and creating a hard working, socially supportive training environment, I eliminate all the issue mentioned above and people had fun while getting great results.

But Dave Boot camps are so expensive….

Well if $90/month to take part in as many as 16 workouts, that guarantee results, is not as good as 1 workout a month for $55, then please stay with the club.

However let me ask you this as well about your club.

Does the club provide you assistance by a board certified physical therapist for nagging injuries that prevent you from working out??

Does the club provide you a bi-monthly customized newsletter that not only motivates but provides you addition training and nutritional ideas??

Does the club provide you quick workouts to do at home or on the road to keep your fitness goals moving forward when you can be in camp??

Does the club provide you a weekly meal plan system to help you gradually change your diet which we all know is critical to getting fast results?

Does the club provide you 1000 are of options for varying your workout to keep the body guessing and you staying healthy as well teaching you how to perform and where to implement those different exercises??

Does the club create a community of likeminded people that encourage and support your quest for better health??

Does the club provide active members a special web page where they can go to learn more about fitness, nutrition and creating a fitness lifestyle

So you do have options and frankly I think for individuals that really want results and need to be pushed, it’s a pretty easy solution on where you should spend your fitness dollar but I know it’s a tough decision which is why I allow everyone to do a 2 week no obligation free trial.
