How much does everyone pay monthly for gym? and what do you get with that?

I pay $54 quarterly through my employer for access to their facility.

First floor: Olympic pool & diving boards (L/H), two hot tubs, sauna, steam room, locker rooms, maybe 15 treadmills and around 50-60 weight machines, a couple rowing machines, a free weights section, a room I call the "bulk room" which is full of really huge people dead lifting houses and such, 2 spin rooms, a multi-purpose classroom, a yoga nook, and a smoothie bar.

Second floor: 4 multi-purpose classrooms, maybe 15 ellipticals, a variety of stair masters, maybe 10 bikes, more yoga nooks.

Third floor: Indoor track, yoga atrium, more rowing machines and a few ellipticals, 2 basketball courts, ballet/yoga studio(?), and a couple of ping pong tables.

On holidays the gym closes, so there is a smaller building available with weight machines, ellipticals, treadmills, etc. that we can use.

Oh yeah, there is nothing in town that compares to it. It's amazing.

Damn! I need a job that has that. That is awesome!

My gym is spendy at about $85/month. I'd explain the amenities, but it's easier to link the website. clubwoodside.com/

Mgonza55

Switching to this $10/month one because I do not use any of those amenities .

I do Planet Fitness for $20.00 a month. Machines, Cardio equipment, tanning bed, massage chairs and hydro massage bed. The $20.00 allows me to visit other PF's which is perfect as I work very close to one in another city and can go before work. Or go to my home gym on the weekends. I am also able to bring someone with me.

$17.99 LA Fitness. It took over a local gym and I joined the local gym many years ago during their presale.

Just_Ceci

$60 per year for the local Adult Wellness Center- you have to be 50 to join. Besides the usual cardio equipment, there's a walking track, 2 pools, gymnasium, classrooms, library, and a full range of equipment for strength training. The down side is the hours are only 7 - 7 M-F and 8-12 on Saturday.

maillemaker

I just joined Planet Fitness for $10 a month. It's much better than my old gym I was paying more for.

Lots of circuit machines (and more than one of each kind), lots of cardio equipment (treadmills, bikes, arc trainers, etc.)

ValerieMartini2Olives

$10 and you get.... a gym. No classes. No trainers. Just a gym. Cardio machines (a lot of them), free weights, weight machines, and some other tools to use. But it's a gym.

rhyolite_

I have an in-home gym with all the equipment I like to use. My husband's working on getting heavy weights to add to the collection.

But I do pay $89 / month for a membership to a local fitness class center. The membership includes unlimited Barre, Pilates, Reformer, and TRX classes. It's definitely expensive, but worth every penny IMO. It's exercise I look forward to.

icck

£10.99 a month, which is roughly $17 I believe. That's cardio machines, free weights, weights machines, kettlebells, TRX, etc. Some classes but they aren't very good.
I'm not interested in classes though, and it's open 24 hours, so suits me.

ajnb88

£17.99 a month. Used to pay £15.99 at my old gym (with 24 hour access) but I never used it, it was dirty, and rammed with creepy people. for £17.99 I get a gym with decent opening hours, proactive cleaners, and friendly/helpful staff.

Edit: oh right, they do classes if you want them, too.

So . . . . are they hiring? lol

melaniecheeks

I've just joined a Pure Gym and it's £18.99 a month. Good selection of equipment, reasonable range of classes, including some short lunchtime ones. No pool or other fancy bits.

SlimEsq

I go to a local gym with your basic cardio and weight equipment. No classes or anything like that. $39/ month. It's open 24 hours which is pretty cool. I used to take martial arts for $150 a month but had to give that up when I changed jobs.

yopeeps025

I go to community college so that comes with a gym memebership.

Let talk about the lack of equipment.

1)only 10 45s plates. They used to have 8 and there were time when me and someone else would use all the 45s.

2) only one good bench for press. The other one is adjustable for incline press. There is no decline pressing set place.

3) dumbbells up to 75 lb. That getting to not be enough.

4) only one squat rack.

I wonder why my school is so weak. Well looking at the weight room there should be no question about it.

jmac4263

58$ a month for 2 of us and that includes tanning- We go to Anytime Fitness. Access to all locations is nice!

acorsaut89

Right now I pay a little over $40/month. I go to Goodlife so they have pools at select locations, treadmills, elipticals, rowers, stair climbers, etc. They also have spin classes, yoga, body pump, zumba, etc etc classes (included in membership - except Hot Yoga isn't). They have the regular showers and change rooms - it's a chain gym so the size and amount of equipment they have really does vary by location. Also, some locations are women only, co-ed and some even have co-ed plus a women only area.

However, I also cross train at a small individually owned gym which is $65/month for unlimited classes and two personal training sessions.

So I just realized recently (lol - my bad) that I'm paying over $40/month to use a treadmill at the one gym since I do all of my cross training and cross fit at another location ha ha.

The chain gym actually has something called Fit for Less which is only like $20/month and they don't have very many amenities - like no showers or group fitness but since I don't use them anyways I don't need to pay for it. I'm definitely switching soon because I don't really use the benefits of the bigger gym, and I really only use the treadmill for running once or twice a week (and my other runs are outside).

To better this gym and provide you with more equipment they would probably have to raise your tuition . . . are you willing to give that?

Also - it's a free membership . . . so it's pretty beneficial to have that. I wish I was still a student so I could use the gym that was at my university.

KarlaH9801

I go to my local YMCA here in So. Oregon. I pay $50 a month for just me, and it would be $81 a month for my family (2 adults, 4 children). I have access to the swimming pool and hot tub, with changing rooms/showers, and they offer towel and lock rental, as well as all sorts of swim classes like lessons for kids and water aerobics. There is a large gym with a rock wall where they play volleyball, pickleball, tennis, etc., as well as adult play day (dodge ball,anyone?), in addition to children's time with bouncy mats, tricycles, and balls galore. There are two classrooms that offer everything from Yoga Flow to Martial Arts, Boot Camp to TRX, and all sorts of things in between - for no added cost. There is a large cardio room upstairs with ellipticals, treadmills, Cybex machines, stair machines, and rowing machines. The weight room has all the circuit machines (2 sets) and tons of free weights. There is this giant thing in the middle with battle ropes and TRX straps and all sorts of hooks and ropes and stuff on it - I have no idea what all it can do. They also have a large selection of Bosu balls and fitness balls, resistance bands, jump ropes, and such. Also, the daycare is$1/hr per kid. The only downside is that they are only open 8-5 Saturday and 12-5 Sunday, but the 5am- 9pm Monday through Friday is nice.

If it also meant our school made a football team then yeah I would. Also the gym is never that packed. I wouldn't like the day when all the strong guys came in to lift. Then again we would all just work in and made shadow who you can.

dondotwinks

£25 a month, small gym but well equipped, swimming pool with jacussi, sauna & steam rooms. I often think of cancelling and using the park(free) as it has own body weight equipment but no swimming pool lol

Sharon_73

$0!! My boyfriend is a personal trainer and owns his own private training studio so I get a free gym, personal trainer, supplements at cost and a very reduced rate with the massage therapist. Oh and the personal trainer comes home to me at night so even better!

boogiewookie

I paid a lot when I started my gym but since then its been $0/month. what do I get? badass workouts that I can squeeze in when the kids are sleeping and I don't have to put on pants...
its in my garage :-)
