I've hit a plateau. Instead of throwing in the towel and bowing out I've decided to switch things up and keep working towards success. I've been putting off joining a gym due to the expensive membership fees that come with joining. Unfortunately, nothing has changed in my routine yet I haven't lost anything these last few weeks. I'm currently doing all the exercises I can think of that don't require a machine.So, I guess its time to suck it up, bite the bullet and put out the funds to succeed. Anyone know of any gyms running holiday sign up specials or that aren't $50-$60 per month?

    I really like SNAP Fitness. It's about $50 a month. Great new equipment, and can access 24 hours a day. I suppose it depends on if there's one in your area. Good luck!

    I don't know where you live but I go to the YMCA and I like it. For my whole family I pay 65 a month, It is a discount but the original price was 85 for a family so I know that they are pretty reasonable for an individual. In addition they have the COACH program which is like a trainer/nutritionist to help you out and it is free of charge. I love it and have lost 26 lbs!

    I belong to a gym but I really like fitness videos for the structure. P90x is great and you can do it with just one workout band or a couple pair of dumbbells. Really any of the beachbody videos are good.

    I workout at Curves and it is wonderful. I pay 36 a month. Didn't think I would like the whole just women thing but it has turned out to be a very positive and pleasant environment.

    If you really want to step it up. Find a Crossfit. That would be the ultimate. http://www.crossfit.com

    One thing that i have found - try and find a workout place close to your house. If you have to drive 30 minutes or more, it would be hard to keep motivated.

    Another thing to consider is craigs list for some exercise equipment might be less than a workout video, or a gym membership!
