We've talked about saving on a gym membership by playing hard to get, but you can also save by asking for your membership to start the next following month.
After you've negotiated your gym contract, Business Insider suggests asking for the rest of the month free and for the contract to start on the following month. This gives you a few extra weeks on your membership if you make this request early in the month. You've already agreed to join, so they're just giving you a little extra on the top in exchange for a guaranteed contract. You might as well ask. I checked with my own gym and they agreed this is a great tip and most salespeople are authorized to do this in order to close the deal.
