If you’re on the fence about joining FitClub, consider how spending money to join can actually put money back in your wallet.
When we think about getting active and healthy, we think about losing weight, but research conducted by George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services found that being overweight can cost women an extra $4,879 and men an extra $2,646 every year. Read on to find out how getting healthy at FitClub is a good idea for your body, your mind, and your wallet!

After a workout at FitClub, you’re far more likely to make healthy food choices. A hard workout will leave your body craving healthy foods from home and have you skipping the fast food line. Eating at home saves you money, is better for your health, and helps you achieve your fitness goals.
Obesity costs money. According to bankrate.com, obese people spend an additional $1,429 annually on medical costs. This increased medical cost includes co-pays, medications, and hospitalizations. Getting control of your weight and your health, saves your wallet and your life. As a special bonus, you’re likely to save money on life insurance premiums if you maintain a healthy weight. Many life insurance policies require a physical exam and the fitter you are, the lower your premium. Add in the additional expenses associated with health conditions like diabetes and the cost only increases.
Better health, fewer sick days. The better your overall health, the more reliable you are as an employee. Don’t miss out on promotions, raises, and available overtime because you’re unhealthy. FitClub offers information on overall wellness, as well as yoga and meditation classes that can keep you mentally healthy while you work on your physical fitness.
More clothes. If your waist line is expanding and you haven’t maintained a healthy weight, you might also be spending more money on clothes than your fitter friends, according to Time Magazine. If your clothes seem to get smaller from season to season, it’s likely because you’re not maintaining a healthy weight.
FitClub is healthier and costs less than a regular happy hour with friends. FitClub’s expansive list of group exercise classes can provide a healthy alternative to a night out with coworkers or friends. Invite your friends to Zumba at FitClub and save the cost (and calories) of drinks and appetizers while you sweat, dance, and laugh together. Make a tradition of moving your weekly night out to FitClub for a healthy sweat session together and save that money on a regular basis. Getting fit with friends is easy at FitClub, and if you haven’t already taken advantage of FitClub’s Buddy Program, this is a great time to start a new tradition with friends!
