Your Raise Is Finally Beating the Cost of a Gym Membership
from Wages and Prices with Fexingo: Cost of Living, Pay Raises, and Workers' Purchasing Power · host Fexingo
In this episode of Wages and Prices, Lucas and Luna examine how wage growth is outpacing the cost of gym memberships for the first time in years. Using June 2026 CPI data showing a 0.4% drop in overall inflation and average hourly earnings rising to $37.60, they drill into the fitness industry: why gym prices are stuck while boutique studios surge. They discuss Planet Fitness's $10 legacy pricing dilemma, the rise of at-home workout subscriptions, and what it means for workers' purchasing power in a cooling economy. A sharp, grounded look at one everyday expense that's finally getting cheaper relative to pay. #Wages #Prices #GymMembership #Inflation #CPI #LaborMarket #WageGrowth #PlanetFitness #FitnessIndustry #ConsumerSpending #PurchasingPower #Economics #CostOfLiving #WorkersRights #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #RealWages Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
