Now that you have eaten all the cookies and candy over this holiday season, the new year may be a good time to shed those extra pounds.

News 12's consumer reporter Janice Lieberman shares how you can find the best workout deals.

January is the month of fitness specials that can range from a gym that costs $10 to ones that cost hundreds a month. Many gyms will waive the initiation fee this month, which can range from $50 to $100.

Check out social media for deals and visit several gyms before you commit. You can also take advantage of free trials.

It's important to read over the contract before signing on the dotted line and start out with the basic membership. You can always upgrade later on.

Ways to get fit for cheap are to take classes online, run in the park and take classes through your library or town.
