“Tough economic times don't mean having to give up gym and fitness center memberships. Last December, Fitness First on West Patrick Street began offering new deals for helping members cope with the rough economy. It has reduced its membership fees from $34 to $29, while new members receive five free one-week membership passes for friends and family, said Karl Noyes, general manager. Noyes said he has noticed a slight decrease in memberships from January 2008 to January 2009, but overall, interest in Fitness First has been consistent. ‘The interest is actually up for people coming in and looking around the club,’ he said. Gold's Gym on Buckeystown Pike also has its share of financially-friendly deals, such as a zero-down initiation fee, said manager Craig Gaddis. Planet Fitness, on West Patrick Street, which opened in December 2008, charges $10 a month, along with a $29 start up fee, according to co-owner Jerry Woods. The community has embraced the deal and ‘we've been nothing but growing,’ Woods said.”
