Well good luck getting them to just give you money to buy your own home gym equipment.....

As Fredr states in the first post....Cost is not what is keeping people out of shape. Anyone can go out and go for a walk or a run, that costs you nothing. It's lack of time and ambition in most cases that is ailing people. I can't see all the obese people in Alberta getting up and going to a personal trainer because the government will give them a tax credit afterwards.
