Long Term Gym Memberships Now a Thing of the Past

Transfermymembership.com launches the worlds first online marketplace for buyers and sellers of unused or unwanted gym and health club memberships.

Brisbane, Australia (PRWEB) June 2, 2007 -- Every year hundreds of thousands of people find themselves locked into a contract with their gym or health club, having to pay costly membership fees for a service they no longer require.

Transfermymembership.com is an innovative website developed to assist people wishing to trade unwanted gym memberships.

Transfermymembership.com can be effectively used by health clubs as a selling tool, as it enables them to more easily sell yearly memberships to patrons who are concerned about being locked into an annual contract. At present many people shy away from month to month memberships because of the hefty membership fees involved with subscribing in this manner.

Fitness Expert/Personal Trainer and founder Mr. Ryan O'Neal recognized considerable demand for a common place where the ownership of unwanted gym/ health club or golf club memberships could be transferred. Mr. O'Neal stated, "Many people buy into a health club contract and for a variety of reasons, they're unable to fulfill the length of the contract with the health club facility."

Transfermymembership.com provides consumers from the USA, UK and Australia the opportunity to subscribe to a gym in a more flexible manner than is currently available. For example, if an individual subscribes to a gym and finds that the gym doesn't exactly fit their exercise interest, or if their financial situation changes throughout the membership they are able to use the website to trade the length of their remaining gym membership to another owner.

The increased transferability of memberships enabled by Transfermymembership.com not only provides greater flexibility for the consumer but will also enhance a health club's ability to attract members whose future is uncertain. Mr. O'Neal explains "Transfermymembership.com can be effectively used by health clubs as a selling tool, as it enables them to more easily sell yearly memberships to patrons who are concerned about being locked into an annual contract. At present many people shy away from month to month memberships because of the hefty membership fees involved with subscribing in this manner."
