Gym or sports? Are you one of those people who paid a lump sum for a 6-month or an annual gym membership and never turned out to the gym after 3 months? A study conducted by Topcashback.co.uk about the most unused subscriptions in 2017 found out that almost 50% of people pay for a gym membership and never use it. So don’t worry, you are not the only one out there who is wasting money on this. Gym memberships are not economical as well. The least you can pay is 1000 bucks for a Gym which has the basic instruments with minimal infrastructure and goes as high as 4000 rupees for a month.
Considering the average salary in India to be 616 dollars which roughly calculates up to 40k, wasting 4k out of this sum seems to be a huge luxury. What if you had an economical substitute for fitness that won’t burn a hole in your pockets and make you healthy as well?
