VIDEO: Save on workouts, laundy
Saving with 6abc focuses laundry and workouts.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Here are ways to save on two cash-consuming tasks: working out at the gym and laundry.

Let's start with your clothes. If you are a frequent dry cleaner, you may be interested in the Swash.

It aims to freshen your clothes and eliminate light wrinkles.

Here's how it works: you anchor the clothes inside and gel filled pods spray a mist to neutralize and freshen fabrics.

It takes 10 minutes and you can do two garments at a time.

It doesn't promise to remove stains and says it doesn't replace dry cleaning. It just lengthens the time between visits.

It will be available in stores next month and while it costs $500. The company says you will save big in the long run.

Now to those workouts. You can save on that gym membership and work up a sweat with a Livestream workout. The hottest new trend in fitness where all your favorite classes are streamed live in your living room.

One New York City cycling studio allows its classes to be piped into your home.

And you can take Flirty Girl Fitness' dance classes for just $15 a month.

Balletbeautiful.com is also on board.

A boot camp class is just $10 dollars a month.
