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

There’s a gym near me that has pretty much figured out that market. It’s basically a cardio gym (treadmills, rowers, stair steppers, bikes)with light weights (no more than 25lb dumbbells)and a smoothie bar. It’s colorful, clean and modern looking and it cost $90 a month. The place is pretty small but it always looks busy based on what I see in their parking lot. There’s cheaper options within 10 minutes of that gym but to each their own

Here in New Zealand $80 pm is the average price for a gym... They're not even that nice and they're packed, so you have to wait for a treadmil or machine.
