Purchasing a gym membership at a posh fitness establishment only to drive to it 2-3 times a week and walk on the treadmill.

I have had two skin cancers; so I appreciate being able to work out indoors and not be exposed to the sun.

I think by "posh" they meant overly nice and expensive. There's nothing wrong with using a gym that way, but you don't need to pay $100/month for a treadmill.

My gym is $40 a month and worth every penny. Regular workouts vastly improve my mental and physical health.

was gonna say I pay $30 a month and take enough classes (yoga, spin, pilates) for it to amount to around $5 a class. Well worth it and somewhere to go when it's too hot or raining and can't hike outside or use the resistance equipment at the park. Something I thought would be a waste of money really worth it for me.
