I got this Planet Fitness flyer earlier today, and have always said I'd give this US chain a try if there one that opened near me in Canada. Considering this will be walking distance from my house, it sounded like opportunity knocking at my door. $10 for an entire month at the gym?
Things I have also spent about $10 on in the last month include...
- a brick of firecracker cheese (#noregrets)
- a rawhide bone for my dog that lasted 2 days
- a box with an inflatable beard, that was actually empty
So needless to say, my standards for what I'll spend $10 on are fairly low. Being the lazy slacker that I am, it'd probably be pretty easy for me to sign up for a membership that is only $10, and just shrug it off if I don't use it...so I wanted to create a challenge for myself to make sure I was actually putting this membership to good use. And being the numbers nerd that I am, I wanted to take it one step further.
GOAL: A healthy weight loss of 8 lbs in 30 days (2 lbs/wk) spending no more than $0.38/day for fitness. $10/mo (plus tax=$11.30) ÷ 30 gym visits = $0.38/day.
