In America, health and fitness is big business. Research shows that nearly 88 million people spend an estimated $35 billion on gym memberships annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When businesses shut down during the pandemic, the fitness industry took a hit. Even when doors opened again, many people didn\u2019t want to be huffing and puffing in a crowded enclosed space with other people huffing and puffing too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As businesses transitioned to work-from-home and other remote\/hybrid options, gyms struggled to adapt. The marketplace was flooded with virtual workouts available on apps that measure and track performance or streaming platforms like YouTube, which provides free tutorials and \u201cpersonal trainers\u201d that are hard to compete with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why pay for a membership, plus the gas and time costs of traveling to and from the gym, or deal with the crowds when you can work out in the comfort of your own home for free?<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Finances Online<\/a>, gym memberships can cost anywhere between $10 and $40 per month per person. Add to that amount all the other fees that gyms might charge such as new-member fees, extra costs for specific classes like hot yoga or HIIT, and annual dues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prices can also widely vary depending on location and the type of classes and facilities your gym offers. If the average monthly cost of gym membership in the U.S. is $58, you can expect to spend between $500 and $700 for an annual membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The more elite the gym (newer equipment, state-of-the-art offerings like massage chairs and cryotherapy chambers, and a larger number of classes to choose from\u2014each with a professional\/certified trainer), the higher the cost. And, if you live in places like New York, the average cost of a gym membership is over $130 each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each year, millions of people enroll in a gym program during January as part of their \u201cnew year, new me\u201d resolutions to get fit. But the stats are sobering: The average gym member underutilizes two-thirds of their gym dues\u2014wasting approximately $39 per month or $468 per year. Americans spend about $1.3 billion on unused gym memberships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just a few reasons to exercise at home:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cost:<\/strong> Save now on that expensive membership fee, and save even more money over time without monthly dues. We know you don\u2019t want to sacrifice the workout quality or experience, and you don\u2019t have to. Outdoor gyms can be amazing<\/a>. And, remember, staying fit and healthy doesn\u2019t need to be expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Not everyone has an extra room inside their house to remodel into a gym. Instead, turn your existing patio or backyard space into an outdoor gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are 5 benefits of having an outdoor gym:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
