The 10 Cheapest Gyms In Vancouver If You're Broke AF
Going to the gym marks the beginning of my day, giving me the sparks of energy that will last throughout. The post workout feeling of achievement and content are the most satisfying. I haven't found a better kick to start my day.
If you want to get back on track with your 2016 fitness resolution, joining a gym is an amazing way to stay motivated ! Fitness centres are gathering places to meet and get inspired by people who are training for competitions, who want to get fit, or who just enjoy working out.
In a city as expensive as Vancouver, affording to go to the gym can be difficult. We all prefer saving money to go out with friends rather than paying for a gym membership. If you don't work (yet!) in a company that offers gym corporate discounts, here is a list of the cheapest gyms in Vancouver:
Fit4less // 1201W Pender
Offering $9.99 bi-weekly rate, you're only committed for two weeks. You will also get access to their other centres across BC in North Vancouver, Richmond... It has never been so easy to workout!
