Going to the gym and working out more can also, somewhat conversely, contribute to weight gain or at the least, keep you from shedding the pounds as quickly as you would like. The New York Times reported that if you are exercising more, there's a double whammy you may not realize: you'll eat more and may be more sedentary when you're not working out. And if you are going but you log the same workout every time, day after day and week after week, your body will get used to the new level of exercise and you'll burn fewer calories.
If you decide to leave, a lot of gyms also have annual contracts that you have to sign, complete with fine print, that aren't designed to make it easy for you to give up your membership and some could even come with a price tag for leaving (via Men's Journal).
That doesn't mean you should throw in the towel on exercising all together since there are obvious benefits, but consider at home workouts as a way to save money.
