Saving Money with the P90X System?

Answer 1

Developed by fitness professionals and marketed by a company that calls itself "Team Beachbody," the P90X workout is designed to be an in-home replacement for costly gym memberships that can cost hundreds of dollars a year. Instead, P90X requires an initial investment for its instructional DVDs and adherence to a strict diet.

Those DVDs, however, do come at a price -- about $120 at most major retailers for the complete set. However, for those who are serious about getting rid of the gym membership and committing to lowering their fitness bills with P90X, there are ways to save money on each part of the program.

Team Beachbody has its own customer loyalty program known as the "Beachbody Club." This club is $2.99 per week, but its members save 10 percent on everything in the Team Beachbody online store; they also get shipping at half the normal rate on everything they purchase.

The cost savings available to Beachbody Club members means the cost of the initial P90X system comes down to just over $100, and members can save on other essential parts of the workout such as protein bars, meal replacement shakes, and other supplements. And because shipping fees are slashed in half, it is actually cheaper for members to participate in this program than to stop at brick-and-mortar fitness stores.

Additionally, the Beachbody Club membership comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. That means there's no risk to new members who might be testing the waters to see how many products they'll be using, and if the weekly membership fee is really helping them lower their fitness budget.

Gym memberships can cost more than $50 per month, and the kind of personal training offered at most gyms is a huge, additional expense that can cost thousands of dollars. The choice to merely drop the gym membership in favor of at-home training is already a huge cost savings.

Team Beachbody knows its P90X clients are looking to get the best bang for their buck, and the Beachbody Club is one way they help them achieve their fitness goals in combination with their finance goals.
