An anti-obesity promotion that does not involve the food police
September 28th, 2010 at 9:23 am by David FarrarOnce again FitnessNZ has their annual gym membership promotion. Details are:
- 40 to 70% off for 1st time gym members, or someone who hasn’t been a member for 12 months (can buy for a friend, but check that they aren’t a current member 1st!)
- 100+ gyms nationwide
- 3, 6 and 12 month memberships avail at most gyms
- limited # of subsidised membership at each facility, and some sell out fast
- No government money involved.
And even better, Kiwiblog readers can obtain a further 10% discount on your membership if you use the special code “Blog57″ (without the quotes). This means you will be getting 50% to 80% off effectively.
So if you have been wanting to join a gym, this is a good time.

Hmmm… If you were a Labour party copywriter you could have claimed the whole 50 – 80% discount as your own (after all National is to blame for the whole 15% GST!)

You don’t save money at a sale – you spend it.

They should dump anti-obesity campaigns completely.
Instead, offer free gym memberships for everyone in the country. Of course, in return you must guarantee a certain level of participation or memberships are cancelled.
Not only would this save money compared to expensive campaigns such as push-play, probably more people would take it up.

Silly question! Because we, the food police, know better. Now be good children and eat up your tofu and lentils, just like Aunty Helen said

Gym membership fees in New Zealand are ridiculous. Surely it cannot cost that much for staff, rent, and equipment depreciation? My local gym here in Texas costs me $10 a month, and somehow seems to stay in business.

David, unlike all the other moaners above I would like to thank you, I have been procrastinating since I moved to Auckland two months ago and this offer combined with a promise of accompanyment from a friend who has also started going has finally swung me into a gym membership. Les Mills, my wasteline and my wallet thanks you for making the commitment only a mouse click away… now I just have to get up an hour earlier, its a shame daylight savings did not go back the other way.
