Is your company awesome enough to reimburse you for your gym receipts?

And why is it so difficult to get a receipt from Planet Fitness?

I love going there, but I did not love the process of extracting a receipt.

Hopefully this helps someone get a receipt from Planet Fitness for a gym reimbursement company program, and saves a bit of headache.

Here are the steps.

1. Login to the planet fitness site with the same credentials you use for the app.
2. Select the “view and update records’
3. It will take you to the “myiclubonline” portal. If you have not created a username and password prior to this screen, it will have you register your “myiclubonline” account.
   1. You will need your agreement number, (which is on the check in screen of your app under the QR code),  the zip code, as well as the email on file. If you have issues, get in touch with your local club.
4. Once logged into myiclubonline, select “my payment history”

Now that you saved a bit of cash on your gym membership, you might have a bit left over to support local and independent artists!

Here is some of my art for sale:

I got this idea because since I sketch to come up with ideas for paintings, I wanted to do something that could be translated more easily to a painting.

Using shapes and colors instead of lines, you’re already using the “language” of painting. This is a really simple technique that anyone can do.

All you need are paint samples (get as many as you can from a hardware store-they’re free), scissors, a gluestick, and your sketchbook.

Look at the colors you like together. Be experimental. Work fairly quickly. Don’t worry too much about the results. When you sketch this way, you’re only working with shape & color, allowing for unexpected results.

Cut shapes out…. glue them down… repeat. Do as many pages of this as you can.

Instead of tossing out the smaller scraps, use them to add detail to your collage.

Use these sketches as references for paintings or designs later on- this way, you’ll arrive at different ideas than if you were using a drawings or photographs.

Of course, this technique can be combined with drawing to add interesting variation & detail! Feel free to experiment, of course.

Oh, and obviously you’re not limited to using paint samples- I also used construction paper and a cut up shopping bag. Seriously, use what you have. It’s the best way to work. I set aside brown paper bags, wrapping paper,  old life drawing newsprint, etc. that I always use in collages. Have fun!
