Free Gym, Exercise For Free
This page will list free gym options and other resources where you can exercise for free. Fitness programs can be a lucrative business. They wrap up fitness in all kinds of packages including exercise videos, video games, gym memberships, classes and personal fitness trainers. These can cost anywhere from a one-time fee of $15 for a video game, $20-$40 a month for a gym membership, or up to hundreds of dollars an hour for hiring a well-known personal fitness trainer. If you wanted to run a marathon that could cost up to $100 or more. It’s amazing that people pay money for fitness when you can run and exercise for free!
One of the most common reasons people pay for fitness is because they say it motivates them. If they are going to pay the money for a fitness program then they don’t want the money to be wasted, so they’ll actually follow through with the program. However, getting a freebie and saving your budget can be just as motivating.
Beyond the simple freedom of being able to do exercises without having to pay money, something that is also free and happens to be more motivating than a gym membership, is a friend with the same goal. Find a friend with the same goal and support each other. That way you have someone to keep you accountable for completing your fitness program. You may also find that helping someone else is more motivating, and you don’t have to pay a dime.
A lot of professional athletes might have private gyms and personal trainers, but that’s not how they got their start. They began with simple push-ups, sit-ups, jogging and other at home exercises.
