Many kids in the US don’t get enough exercise and with more and more schools cutting PE, extracurricular activities are even more important. But they can also be quite expensive, so when this contest and discount was announced, I wanted to pass it along …

Throughout 2013, My Gym locations across North America will celebrate thirty years of providing fitness and fun to families by offering money saving membership and class discounts, conducting a search tocrown My Gym’s Fit & Healthy Family and hosting fun and fitness-filled My Gym 30^th Birthday party/ Open Houses.
* Offered April 1 through June 30, the My Gym discounts include free membership to families signing on for the first time and 30% off for four weeks of classes at participating locations.
