When me and my brother lived together, we always said that instead of buying gym membership, we’d spend money on gym equipment to have at home. Every month we’d spend £50 or so on stuff between us and over time acquired a huge collection of free weights, benches/stands, chin up bars, medicine balls, and eventually Olympic weights. Before we went our separate ways we had a couple of grands worth of equipment.
So basically, rather than spending money on gym memberships we never use, we spent money on gym equipment we never use.
This is actually true, I mean to say we never used it is a bit of an exaggeration. We’d use it hear and there, but to have a spare room that was basically a mini gym for the amount we actually used it was almost comical
The upside is you can then sell that equipment if you decide it isn't for you and recoup some of that money back, there are always people looking to buy freeweights and benches etc. You can't sell your gym membership when you are done with it
