We’re all likely trying to stretch our budget a bit further right now – so it’s important to make sure you’re gaining the more value for the dollars you spend.

A fitness membership is a great example.

“Fitness memberships exist for all kinds of budgets, and we’re focused on delivering the most value for our members,” said Randall Hill, vice president of fitness at GreatLIFE Golf & Fitness.

Simply put, there’s no fitness membership in town that packs as much value for your investment as GreatLIFE.

With too many ways for members to save to even list here — you can browse them all here if you want — we decided to focus instead of our top five for fall.

Free classes

There are more than 90 free classes offered every week at GreatLIFE fitness centers – and more than 20 types.

That means everything from yoga and Pilates to BodyPump and cycling is ready and waiting as part of your membership. Meet new people, challenge yourself, and keep your workouts interesting. Just pick from among these convenient locations — Woodlake, Performance Center, Willow Run, 39th and Phillips, and 41st and Sertoma – sign up, and get ready for a class that will add instant value to your membership.

And don’t forget the other ways you can save every day inside a GreatLIFE location – members always get 10 percent off nonmember pricing on merchandise, food, personal training and tennis lessons at all GreatLIFE locations.

Indoor aquatics

Already missing the days of sun-filled outdoor swimming? Pool time can be yours year-round with a GreatLIFE membership.

Swim or enjoy water aerobics at both Woodlake Athletic Club and Willow Run, so whether you’re an east- or west-sider, there’s always a pool close by. Plus a hot tub!

Bonus: Do you have new swimmers in your household? GreatLIFE members enjoy lessons at Woodlake and SafeSplash Swim School locations while saving on a $35 service fee.

Save on everyday needs

This is one that’s easy to overlook because it’s not what you’d usually associate with a fitness membership – but that’s why GreatLIFE is no normal membership!

Think about your basics in life, and chances are there’s a discount waiting for you.

Need an oil change or new tires? You’re going to save at Graham Tire.

Could your gutters use a cleaning this fall? Take $20 off with Gutter Clean of Sioux Falls.

Haircuts are discounted Monday through Friday at Supercuts, along with waxing and color.

You’ll even save on your garbage service with 10 percent off trash and recycling pickup through Novak Sanitary Service.

Eat out for less

This is where the GreatLIFE savings can really add up. Who hasn’t noticed you’re paying more to dine out lately? Not when you put your fitness membership to work for you.

For example, if you’re a GreatLIFE member, you can start your day with a free small coffee or soda with any purchase at Bagel Boy.

How about Slim Chickens for lunch? You’ll always save 10 percent.

Fan of Qdoba? Take $2 off any entree at the Sioux Falls locations.

Or grab a friend and head to Inca Mexican Restaurant, where you’ll receive $5 off your purchase of $30 or more Monday through Thursday.

And that’s just the start. Click here for the complete list.

Unwind and save

Sioux Falls is filled with fun things to do, but it’s also possible to stick to a budget – especially when you layer in GreatLIFE’s offers at entertainment venues and attractions all over town.

Our pick for the fall: Head downtown for ax-throwing at Rough Cut Social, where GreatLIFE members save $5 Sunday through Thursday, or take the same discount off escape rooms at the Westport Avenue location.
