50% off gym memberships
July 27th, 2008 at 1:00 pm by David FarrarThe annual FitnessNZ 50% of gym membership promotion for new members starts tomorrow, and Kiwiblog readers are getting an exclusive early opportunity to take advantage of it, as the site is now active.
The rules are that it is open for anyone who is not a current member of a gym, nor has been a member in the last 12 months (nor has take up the promotion in 2006 or 2007). You can buy a membership for someone else provided they qualify (even if you do not).
Gym memberships are often $1,000 a year, so this can save $500 or so. A great opportunity to finally take out the membership you have been thinking of.
I’m not getting paid to promote this. As not one cent of SPARC (ie taxpayer) money is being spent on the promotion, I’m happy to support it as a private sector public health initiative.

I see the “Mission-On” logo features on the TVNZ afternoon childrens show: not the URL just the logo. I wonder what this piece of poorly executed advertising cost the taxpayer ?
Mandatory whinge finished. Good onya David for supporting a private enterprise effort to increase health:” No Taxpayers were injured in the production of this link whoring”

You can come and chase cows and calves through the rain and shit for free and you won’t want to go to the gym afterwards.

This industry will not survive the Recession without the “Fitness New Zealand – Union” Gym Solidarity eh??
Vote:Best to look at Trademe – see what the real market value for alluded memberships are.
You will likely encounter a few good Golf deals there too.
The Fitness New Zealand offers are limited and not transferable, real free market stuff!

Can I be so bold as to plug our private fitness enterprise that’s also not funded by Sparc? We’re looking for beta users for StarJump. We’re aiming to help build a better you by enabling you to track your health and fitness online. So if any readers are keen, either sign up on the site or email beta08[at]starjump.co.nz, we’d love to hear from you
Best regards,
