Cheap Exercise Options for Busy Students

By Samantha Watkins September 2015

College is an extremely busy time time for most students. So it’s to see why finding time to workout can get pushed aside to finish writing an essay or power nap.

Don’t despair, though — here are some cheap ways to help you get up and get active.

1. Drop in classes

If dancing sounds more appealing, check out companies that offer drop-in class. Typically priced at under $10/class, these classes are a fun and easy way to exercise and hang out with your friends.

2. Long term, Low payment gym memberships

Many gyms offer great deals if you commit to a long-term membership. Check out a Chuze gym membership for only $9.99 per month — talk about cheap membership!

3. Deals, Deals, Deal

Be sure to check Groupon and Costco for deals. Groupon is likely to have discounts to rent kayaks, snorkeling or snowboarding equipment, which is helpful when going with a group. Costco has deals with gyms like 24-Hour Fitness where buying a membership in bulk through them is cheaper than going through the gym itself.
