He wants to sign us both up for gym memberships, even though I'm sure this is just a phase that will fade. In the meantime, what should we consider when joining a gym? I don't want to get stuck with high fees and an unbreakable contract. -- Robin, Georgia Dear Robin: Good for both of you! Before you sign anything, check with your employer or health plan. Some offer discounted memberships for selected gyms. Most clubs offer one or more free workouts or trial memberships for a month or so. Be sure to visit the gym at different times during your trial period to try the equipment and to see when it's crowded. It sounds like you're a good shopper, so you know how important it is to compare prices and contracts. Ask what your options are for ending the contract early if you aren't happy. Many gyms offer month-to-month memberships. Do your homework, choose a gym, and then stick with it no matter what.
