If you buy some weights and exercise at home, or exercise using your own body weight, you could save money and time! And maybe even exercise more, if going to the gym is a trivial inconvenience.
But yeah, living alone increases your expenses. The expenses per person then decrease again when you have a partner.
Totally agree about having weights at home. Besides the cost, one upside is there’s no energy barrier to exercising—I can take a 1-minute break from browsing the web or whatever, do a set, and go back to what I was doing without even breaking a sweat. A downside is it’s harder to get in the mindset of doing a full high-intensity workout for 45 minutes; but I think it’s a good tradeoff overall.

just a quick idea: make a 45-minute playlist of workout music?
