Good day everyone! I am trying to get more fit and healthy. I've been running a while on top of eating well but it's not helping. I cannot afford a cardio machine so I was looking at the local gym options but the cost is outrageous. Even the YMCA is $41 a month. I looked at "rock in fitness" which has the best price of $10 a month like Planet Fitness but it seems like canceling a membership with them is a huge hassle from what I've been reading. I don't want a hassle come time to cancel.
I don't drive and am trying to avoid the extra cost of MBTA. Does anybody know of anything in. Somerville or Cambridge Porter area that doesn't cost an arm and a leg where I could use a few cardio machines?
Thanks in advance :D

The Boston Sports Club in Davis Square is very nice and has a $25/month rate. They also have a sauna (which was a godsend after shoveling this winter!) and there are lots of free classes in zumba, yoga, etc.

Also, they have ellipticals.

I also see free ellipticals on craigslist a lot.

I was gonna say this, assuming you do want to be in a month to month arrangement and even if you got a free elliptical you don't have a place for it.

Is this the only fee you pay? Because on their website, it looks like there's a $50 yearly fee on TOP of the monthly fee, a $30 cancellation fee (even though it's listed as being month to month) and a $100 joining fee. At minimum, you'd be paying almost $400 for the first year alone, and you can get yourself a really nice elliptical for that amount (hell, you can get a decent one for less than than $170 you have to plot down on joining). Or can you get a better deal than the one on the website if you go in personally?
