If you live by a YMCA a summer memborship (2 months) costs only $32 and if it is too much they can negotiate a more affordable price for you. At the Y they make sure the mebership is available for everyone despite their financial situation.

Gyms are nice, but not essential for weight loss. Find other ways to exercise. Walk or run outside. Buy some workout dvds, there are so many really good ones. Jump rope, go swimming, shoot hoops. Anything that gets your heart pumping. Dont let not being able to go to the gym get in the way of your weight loss.
