To gym or not to gym

I am coming up on the expiration of my gym membership. I am at a crossroads: To gym or not to gym. I enjoy the gym and I enjoy a good run. (I think I mentioned that one before.) The gym is warm and SAFE. It won't cost anymore just another contract; the monthly price is decent. BUT, in a crazy economy like this should I renew and obligate myself to another two to three years? I mean $20/month isn't much to pay for my safety, but on the other hand it will buy a lot of eggs, ramen and mac n' cheese during an unforseen rough patch. What thoughts do my blogger friends have on this? I appreciate your input. I am so indecisive!

  1. I would say that if you actually use your membership, then keep it. Food is helpful, but so is your health!

    I, on the other hand, would let a perfectly good gym membership go to waste. Which is probably why I've never had one.

  2. If I were you, I would keep it. I would kill for a gym in my town that only cost $20 a month! That's an awesome price.

    And even if you don't always go to the gym, at least you have the option. You have a place you can escape to, if needed.

    Ahhhh, the thought makes me long for a place of my own!

  5. Hmmm, that is a tough one! I went through that a few yrs ago and decided to stop membership...bought an elliptical for the house--thinking--LONG term, this is better. BUT, now that I don't have people watching me...I simply don't work out--so, if you use it...well... If in the event of unfortunate times...what happens if you don't pay? hmmm,

    Man, I AM helpful! I probably just made it to the top of your "CALL IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION" list huh!

  6. I can't seem to get motivated this year to exercise! We have a gym membership and we're just not using it!... I say keep your membership and lets motivate each other to go! Deal? :)

    PS--you'd think the fact that basically pajama bottoms are the only thing that fits me it seems would be motivation enough...grrrrrr
