Made a New Year’s resolution to get fit? If running around the block isn’t going to be good enough, and using small children as weights isn’t practical, then you might be looking at a gym membership to help you with your fitness goal.

There might be some good deals out there now, especially for summer sign-ups but when you decide you are sick of it all and want to transform back into a coach potato (or maybe you have moved towns or have other things you need to spend money on) you might end up wishing you hadn’t signed such a long contract.
