Hi there,
I just wanted to pass this tip along. Gym memberships can be really expensive. Even going to the Y can be costly.
If you work at the YMCA, teaching just one class a MONTH, you can get a FREE membership. I am a yoga instructor at the Mel Korum YMCA in Puyallup, WA. I teach weekly, but when I was hired, I was told that as long as you teach one class a month, the membership is FREE!!! I do not know the policy at other gyms.
If you are not sure what to teach, they are ALWAYS looking for swim instructors for the little kids and babies classes. For the kids classes, you don't even need to get into the pool. This may be a good option for someone who wants to get back to the gym and may not want to pay a lot for the membership.
I am always looking for cheap, *cough*, I mean thrifty means of living. Enjoy!
