The Environmental Protection Agency is scrapping the agency's nearly $1 million in gym memberships as an abuse of taxpayer funds.
...
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt vowed to get rid of the gym memberships after the newspaper reported earlier this year that the agency had paid $15,000 per year for employees in Las Vegas to upgrade to premium fitness memberships at 24 Hour Fitness. This was done even though the employees already had complimentary gym memberships at the University of Nevada's campus in Las Vegas.
This is the common sense stuff that got Trump elected.
The GAO is a federal agency which sends a report to the president each year, detailing tens of billions in savings we could make. Hopefully Trump will act on it, and the Congress will pass a bill to cuts that waste, and send it to Trump's desk

According to your link, this action followed a media report earlier this year that the Nevada EPA paid $15,000 for employees to upgrade to premium memberships at a private facility even though facilities were available at no cost at the University of Nevada.

The article mentions they already had free gym memberships at the local college. So, it is duplicating what they already had. And even if it didn't, we need to reduce the debt. They get paid plenty to provide their own gym memberships like most other people.
I agree. I'll take it. I work for aFortune 500 company and pay for my own gym membership.

Ok, true but we gotta start somewhere. At least Melania is moving into the WH.
$700 billion for bank bailouts: not government waste.
$66 per person for government employee gym memberships, which probably results in net taxpayer savings due to reduced healthcare costs: government waste.
God Bless America.
