A lot of fitness-club customers waste a lot of money on memberships they don’t use. If you’re thinking about joining a club, first compare the costs—and time commitment—of exercising at a club compared to the many other fitness options.

When comparing fitness clubs, consider several points, including what its members say, its location, membership fees, contract terms, facilities and equipment, classes, and amenities. Our ratings of area clubs will help you with these comparisons.

Although it’s easy to check on clubs’ facilities and activities, finding the right membership option for you can be a lot more difficult.

Skilled florists can interpret your tastes (or those of the recipient), determine what’s appropriate for the occasion, and then create a work of art that fits those needs. Our ratings of florists for quality and price should help you pick the best.

If you want delivery, exotic flowers, or need advice, your best bet is a florist. But if you’re willing to pick up the posies yourself and want to save a lot of money, you have several other options.

When you need to send flowers to someone outside the area, what do you do? We review the options, and advise you on how to deal with each to ensure you and your special someone on the other end are happy with the results.
