Workouts That Don't Break the Bank

Since we've been on this budget, I've been trying to find ways to make life less expensive. I'm a high maintenance girl, I'll gladly admit it. Some of the high maintenance, like a gym, is required to maintain health, sanity and beauty (I'm also slightly vain). But that doesn't mean you have to spend all of your money on the necessary items!

Yoga at Burn Athletic in Brier Creek

I pay $99/month to go to my gym. It's about to go up $20/month. It's a wonderful investment. I love all the instructors, the workout I get and the people in classes with me. I also average about 25 classes a month, so I get my money's worth! But I'll be honest and say that our budget probably can't handle both Aaron and I going to Burn. He also isn't big on the class thing like I am. Not everyone wants to spend a lot of money on a gym each month and some just want weights and machines. I've recently noticed that Groupon has some amazing deals on gyms in the Triangle, so I thought I would share them.  I've gathered the deals from Groupon and Living Social, so if you aren't local to the Triangle make sure to check out what's offered in your area!  I've even thrown in one that we will be doing for Aaron soon.  PS - click the gym name for the link to the deals.
