Make the Most of Your Gym During the Cold Months

Make the Most of Your Gym During the Cold Months
Updated:

So you enjoy your cardio workout in the sweet sunshine of the spring and summer months to get your sweat on? But what happens when winter puts a temporary freeze on your outdoor routine?

Stop shivering, and head inside. Gyms and fitness centers are popular for a reason; they work! 

If You Don’t Already Belong to a Gym…

Don’t get sucked into a 12-month gym contract that you'll never use once the sun comes back out. Instead, explore short-term options that will help you stay in shape during snowy months. 


  • “>ClassPass
     is a new month-to-month “membership” that allows you to take up to 3 classes at any partner studio each month in your city. That means you can take a kickboxing class today, a hot yoga class tomorrow, and an aerial yoga class next week. Your workout options are endless.
  • Check out smaller boutique fitness studios in your area that offer month-to-month packages or a pay-by-the-class format. You never know, you might fall in love with that little gym on your block that you always run past.
  • Scan sites like Groupon for discounts to gyms in your area. The deals are often only a few months long and cost less than traditional memberships.
