The Free Trial
Free gym trials can end up costing you a pretty penny. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) warns against sharing your credit card information with a gym that’s offering a free trial, since many will start automatically charging you a monthly fee unless you remember to cancel your “membership” within a certain time-frame.
The Fix: Read the fine print on free trial offers. If possible, only take advantage of a free trial offered without asking for any financial information.

You’ll then repay the loan, along with interest, generally over the course of 15 to 30 years.
