To get it or not to get it... Lol

  • I have a 24hrs membership that I got from Costco 2 years ago. It ends on April. With the Costco deal I end up paying $12.95 a month (now it went up so it will be $14.95) instead of the $25.99 that you would have to pay at the club.

    Now, I will be 14 weeks by April, my baby will be born 6 months later and 24hrs kid's club doesn't take babies less than 6 months old. I will probably wont use the gym that much or at all during those 6 months anyways.

    So, I don't know if I should go month to month till the baby is born which will be around $150 for 6 months or if I should just buy the Costco deal again that cost $350 but last 2 years. OR... My other option is just to buy an elliptical for that same money and just work out at home... (I would also save $20 per month on kid's club)

    What do you guys think?
  • I did not know there was a 24 hour Costco!
    I have the Executive membership where you get a percentage back after you spend so much money throughout the year.
    Where do you live!
    I love me some Costco
  • I live in Washington State. Call your local 24hrs and see if they take it.

  • Given the option, if you don't plan to do weight training, buy the Elliptical. On the other hand, do the math: 6 months x $14.95 = $89.70 you'll just be giving away. Maybe you can afford to give away money, but if you can't, just wait and pay the $25. Its only going to cost you $10.30 more over 4 months.

    If you're not good at working out at home (I'm not), I'd get the membership later and go to the gym. For me, I have to be in a work out environment or I'll find every excuse in the world to take a break.
  • Can you do a medical freeze on your membership due to the pregnancy?

    (And Roo2, the OP is referring to a 24 Hour Fitness membership purchased at Costco, not a Costco membership)
  • Thanks 427, I don't want to waste 6 months but is so hard for me to pay regular price after getting a bargain all these time lol (yes, I am cheap like that)

    April: I will ask them about that, because that could be the perfect solution for my "problem"
  • I vote elliptical
