I posted earlier when I got a personal trainer at the gym next door about a month ago. This has been one of my best expenses yet--money well spent. I feel just incredible. I haven't actually lost any weight yet, but I'm in a better mood, I'm more alert, less stressed.
The benefit of paying the trainer for me is that if I already shelled out the money, I have to go. I can't just do it "later." Before, I was signed up for two hour sessions a week, for $60/week. I changed that the three half-hour sessions at $15/session for $45/week.
I've actually started to enjoy the gym--that has never been true. It helps that it's a really nice gym. The space is beautiful, very clean, nice towels, laundry service, etc. Without those things, I'm not sure I would go at all. Oh, and paying my trainer $45/week.
The other tool I really like is the Nike/Apple iPod gadget thing ($30) that tracks how far or fast or long you have run. I can already see an improvement in a month--I'm going to keep getting better.
This is really a great expense. In the short run, it makes me get in a habit. It forces me to make time to work out. In the long term, I have a coherent work-out plan and know what I'm doing in the future. I'm actually proud of myself.

$45/week ?!?!?!
OUCH!
For what you pay for just two weeks, my entire family gets gym passes in my town for the *entire year* with personal trainers included (3 hours per week per family member)
