    After you've tried out gyms and found one you like, if they make you sign a contract, check your local Craigslist for people trying to get rid of their memberships!

    Some gyms (Gold's and American Family, I think, are like this) won't let you cancel a contract - but they'll let you transfer it to someone. I transferred my Gold's membership to someone I found on CL after I started going to my local JCC (JCC had a pool, Gold's did not). We both benefited -she got the lower member price for less than the 2 year contract, and I got out of a membership I didn't want.

    Not all gyms are this bad - I recommend researching gyms in your area and seeing if they have reviews online.
