Sell your old gym memberships online

I’ve written plenty about selling your stuff on craigslist, and I’ve even discussed how to get a cheaper gym membership. Put both together and you have today’s tip — sell your old gym membership on craigslist (or eBay, I guess!).

I recently decided to switch gyms because I was unhappy with mine. I got a great deal, but of course I still had three months of prepaid time left on my current membership. Kind of ruins what would otherwise be a great deal, wasting three months like that.

Luckily, though, my membership is one that works at any of my gym’s chains across the country. What I realized is that I don’t care if someone takes over my gym membership for three months under my name — I could make my money back by selling that out.

Make sure there’s no credit card tied to your account before doing this, though! My account is simply a prepaid business plan that I signed up for with just my name, so I have no sensitive information available on my account.

I had never even thought of selling something like this, but the truth is that you can sell anything on sites like craigslist or eBay.

Another thing to take out of this: consider looking on craigslist or eBay for gym memberships — and other services — being sold. But that will be saved for another day!
