Most people join a gym to get stronger, lose weight, or just feel better in their own skin. But here’s the sneaky bonus: taking care of your fitness can actually save you money—and in some cases, even MAKE you money. Here’s how:
Exercise doesn’t just build muscles—it sharpens your mind. Dr. John Ratey’s book Spark highlights how movement improves focus, creativity, and decision-making.
That means more energy for your projects, sharper thinking in meetings, and space for those “big ideas” that can open new doors at work. In short? A regular fitness routine makes you the kind of person who gets noticed for promotions and opportunities.
Research in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine shows that people who exercise regularly are more productive at work—and they miss fewer days due to illness.
Think about it: fewer absences, more output, and a boss who notices that you’re always reliable. Plus, a study in the Journal of Labor Research found that men who exercise regularly make about 6% more income on average, and women who exercise make about 10% more.
That’s a solid return on investment.
Regular exercise is linked to lower health risks and fewer medications. In fact, the Journal of the American Heart Association reported an average of $2,500/year saved for people who get enough exercise.
At Deep Roots, we’ve seen it firsthand: members working with their doctors to reduce or even stop medications because their health has improved. When your body is stronger and healthier, you simply don’t spend as much on medical bills, prescriptions, or sick days.
The average adult gains about 2 pounds a year between their 20s and 50s—which means closets full of clothes in 2–3 different sizes. That’s money hanging on hangers.
Our members often report the opposite: clothes fitting better, dropping sizes, or rediscovering outfits they thought they’d never wear again. Sure, you might splurge on a few new pairs of jeans once you hit your goals, but the difference is, those clothes will actually stay your size.
About 70% of Americans eat fast food three times per week, at roughly $12.50 per meal. That adds up fast.
But when our members start building healthy habits, they naturally shift away from the drive-thru. By meal prepping or just having simple, nutritious food on hand, many cut that spending in half. That’s around $936 saved per year—and you’ll feel a whole lot better, too.
And here’s another hidden savings: alcohol. When you scratch your “social time” itch at the barbell instead of the bar, you save money immediately (no $15 cocktails or late-night Uber rides) and in the long run, with better health from drinking less—or not at all.
Joining Deep Roots Fitness isn’t an expense—it’s an investment. Not just in your health and happiness, but in your wallet. From sharper thinking to fewer sick days, lower medical bills, better-fitting clothes, less fast food, and skipping those pricey bar tabs, the savings add up quickly.
