(#27) Exercise, By Itself, Is Not the Get Thin Quick Solution You Think it Is
If any gym or personal trainer tells you that you can eat as much crap as you want and burn it off solely through exercise, burn those calories off by running far, far away. In order to lose weight and keep it off, there's no cutting corners: you have to pair exercise with a diet plan. In fact, exercise alone leads to only a very modest decrease in total body weight (less than three percent).

(#19) Gyms Aren't Required to Maintain Their Equipment
In addition to covering their asses when it comes to injury liabilities within their facilities, you'll be shocked to know that most gyms practically set you up for injury. Most health clubs are not legally required to maintain their equipment and safety standards, so there is a danger when operating most of the fancy weight equipment. Stay safe, people!

(#1) Get a Membership in the Summer, Not the Winter
We all make the same New Year's resolution: go to the gym, eat right, lose weight. Well since that resolution usually lasts for about a month, it's easy for gym memberships to sell the most during the month of January, making it nearly impossible to score a deal. Get a membership in the summertime, however, when only 6% of new memberships come in, and you'll definitely get a membership at a major discount.

(#18) You Can Get Seriously Injured Even In The Most Relaxed Classes
It's easy to get psyched about a new gym membership and want to join the most popular class you can find. However, pushing your body too farbefore it's ready could earn you a serious injury and halt your workout plans. Even classes that are not normally thought of as dangerous are now considered risky. For instance, yoga injuries have increased tenfold over the past couple of years, due to overcrowded classes and inexperienced instructors.

(#21) Buddy Up for Those Personal Training Sessions
Trying to get the right gym buddy is about as serious as a proposal. If you find "the one" be sure to buddy up for personal training sessions. Most gyms offer a deal if you partner up, and you can usually save about $20 per hour.

(#35) The Orientation Is a Ploy to Get You to Sign Up with a Trainer
Like a college orientation, a gym orientation can be overwhelming and exciting. To capitalize on that enthusiasm, many gyms offer a free orientation session or two with one of their trainers when you sign up. To reel you back in, the trainer will take you through a complex routine, then refuse to take notes so that you think you need their training long-term.
