Getting in Shape Can Cost as Little as a Haircut!
I was at a party once and I overheard a conversation between my wife and some other female friends and family members. They were talking about getting their hair cut and colored. Out of curiosity, I interjected and asked what the cost was for a average cut and color. Their responses shocked me, $55-$100 just to get it cut and then as much as another $100 added for color. This conversation got me thinking what the costs are for other services that make us feel good about ourselves.
Here are some average costs for some services you might be familiar with:
- hairdressing $55-$250
- manicure and pedicure $45
- massage- $80-$120 per hour
- spray tanning $50-$75
- teeth whitening-$150-$300
The point of telling you this is that these are all services that are purchased on a regular basis that are meant to make you look and feel better, but they also are services that have diminishing return. What I mean by that is that the effects of the services only last a short time period. Hair and nails grow, tan and polish fade. A massage makes you feel relaxed, but soon after, the effects wear off.
Funny thing is that many of these same folks who enjoy those services use cost as a hurdle to prevent them for hiring a personal trainer. Exercise and personal fitness could actually be considered a long-term investment. Since exercise has a long-term impact on your health and happiness, it could be considered an investment in your future. In addition, the healthier you are, the less you’ll spend on health care, medication and medical co-pays for doctor visits.
Train With Corey’s hourly fee is EASILY competitive with (and probably lower than) the rates of most reputable hairdressers, and the price a boxercise class or Saturday bootcamp is well within the range of a full set of nails or a spray-on tan.
Bottom line – you really can afford to hire a personal trainer like Train With Corey. Along with your other health, beauty, and wellness services, it’s a perfect fit for you and your pocketbook.
