Summer
time is near and like most of us, you’re wanting to get in shape. And like most
of us, a gym membership is not in your budget. Lucky for you, Penny Pincher
Savers have found a few low cost gyms in the Houston are. Some with pools,
racquetball and tennis! I managed to find one that’s FREE and other that are
around $20 per month. No contracts and no down payments! Also! Remember to
check out your local community center web page for low cost workout facilities
in your area. You’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that most have updated
equipment and more to offer than most of those expensive gyms! And best of all, some are free while others may offer a small fee to residents!
Fonde
Recreation Center 
The Fonde
Recreation Center, home workout court to some of Houston’s best basketball
players, is also a great place to get fit! Conveniently located near downtown
at Memorial Drive and Sabine Street, Fonde offers lunchtime fitness
opportunities. Fonde has a state of the art weight room, showers, lockers, a
full-court gym and aerobics room all FREE to help you meet your fitness goals.
