Lots of folks set exercise goals for the new year, but following through can be tough, and expensive. Here are some tips for saving money on exercising in Nashville.
đïž YMCA of Middle Tennessee
The YMCA has numerous locations, with great equipment and fitness classes. You can apply for financial assistance to receive a membership discount. You can also receive discounts if youâre a senior, BlueCross BlueShield insurance carrier, or in the military (including veterans and retirees). Both current and prospective members receive a 20% discount through referrals. If you donât have a friend to use for the referral discount, ask local Facebook groups or the Nashville subreddit!
