Sweaters and other winter apparel will also see a huge drop in price this month.
This is the year you’re getting in shape, right? Hitting three spin classes a week? One would think that gyms hike their prices this month, but quite the opposite. Gyms are fighting for your business this month, oftentimes waving your initiation fee or offering lower monthly premiums.
