The $10–$25/mo headline is real, but Planet Fitness is the textbook anti-pattern TMC exists to warn about. The annual fee is the gotcha most people forget, and the certified-mail cancellation is genuinely the worst in fitness — we've seen people pay $25/mo for two years because they "kept meaning to drive over." If you're going to join, set a calendar alert four months out for the annual fee, and only ever sign up at the location you actually live near.

The 30-day trial is unusually long for a fitness app, and Peloton's instructor-led classes still set the bar for engagement. Use the trial to honestly answer one question — do you actually press play three days a week without someone yelling at you in person? If yes, App+ is one of the best fitness deals on this list. If no, cancel by day 28 and the only thing you spent was time.

BetterHelp doesn't insurance-bill, so the sticker shock is real — that weekly quote can land as ~$260–$400 hitting your card on the 4-week cycle, though as of mid-2026 BetterHelp is also rolling out true weekly billing, so check which cadence your account is on. The cancel itself is easy, which is rare for the category, but pause it the moment your therapist match isn't clicking; rematching while paying is just rent. Skip entirely if you have insurance with mental health coverage — your in-network copay will be a fraction of this.
