How to Get The Best Deal on A Gym Membership

Getting a gym membership can have a heavy impact on your budget, especially if you are looking to get into a nice place. However, what most of you don’t know is that you can negotiate your gym membership deal by offering them something as well. While not every gym offers this service, there are some that will be open to negotiation, and here is how you can get the best deal on a gym membership.

Homework

The first thing you need to do is list down all the gyms near you, and find out what most of them offer in the membership package. Something you can, later on, use to your advantage when negotiating the price. Think of it as letting them know they will get your business, and how other gyms are offering more in the same range. Any valid argument that can help you will go a long way.

Time

Walking in during their busiest hour is not a good idea, notice when the gym is slow and then make your move. If you go in at a rush hour and try to negotiate, they won’t have time or be in the mindset to negotiate. When you walk in at an odd hour, you are more likely to catch them sitting around ready to talk. 

Best Days

You will be surprised to know that the best day to go looking for a gym negotiation is in the middle of a weekday, and at the end of the month. These are the times most gyms are empty, so you can easily talk them into giving you a better deal. Moreover, gyms are constantly looking for new members, so do not sell yourself short if they say they already have a long list of members.

Discounts & Promotions

Most gyms offer discount codes and promotions you can use to your advantage. So when shopping around keep your eyes out for any sign of a discount voucher. Something that can help you ease into the conversation, and ensure you walk away with the best deal possible.

Group

Like we said gyms are always looking for new members, which is why we suggest you walk in with a friend or family member. Making sure they know they will get twice or even thrice the business, in the long run, will ensure you a good deal. 

There are gyms that do not offer better deals, but the idea is to find one that does; while offering you the equipment you need to stay in shape. This is why we suggest you check out a few before you decide to settle on one. This way you will know exactly what is out there and will be able to make a decision based on solid facts and figures.
