Ditch the Gym and Head Outside
The simplest way to reduce your monthly gym fees is to ditch the gym altogether. The great outdoors has all the equipment you need for an effective workout.
If you have a park nearby, you can try running intervals and mix in a bit of strength with push-ups, tricep dips, and step-ups on a park bench.
You can also look for fitness parks in your area, which may have some fitness equipment like ab stations, pull-up bars, and benches for a gym without the monthly membership.
In addition, you can find a local walking or running group like GirlTrek, so that you can have friends join you during your outdoor workouts and keep you motivated better than any fancy gym.
