    I pay $NZD68/month and for me it is completely worth it! I live in New Zealand and we have an awesome chain of gyms called les Mills. I adore the classes and I am quite happy to pay this much. This fee entitles me to general gym equipment (elliptical etc), group classes, shower/lockers/sauna etc. I have tried machines in the past but I find I get bored so the classes are the best option for me. I love BodyCombat which is all punching and kicking. I go 3 times per week so it costs roughly $5 per visit. It is also where I do my weigh ins!!!!

    My gym also offers les mills classes -- haven't tried them but i hear they are great!!

    So I currently work for a gym and have worked for a few other gyms in the past. With gyms you get what you pay for. Prices vary on a few different things, the quality of gym, the location can have a large impact as well. If you are getting a gym membership in SF for example, you will easily pay twice as much as in a residential area.
    If you are looking for a clean and sterile gym, this is another thing I would evaluate. There are some gyms that are based on the business model of Low Cost -- High Volume. The monthly cost is cheaper, but the gym is more crowded, because their strategy is sell as many memberships as you can, who cares if these people reach their goals. OR you can go for a Higher Cost -- Low Volume. These gyms usually have nicer facilities, are cleaner, have services such as towel service, friendly staff, and people that actually care about you reaching your goals.
    I am very serious about my fitness and a seriously into female body building. If a gym is CLEAN, CONVENIENT, and has the EQUIPMENT I need, I will gladly pay $120 a month rather than to travel farther (making it less likely for me to workout) and increase the risk for some serious cooties and infections. EW!

    Everyone's needs and priorities are different though. Lower price does not always equal better gym. Wherever you see you being most likely to reach your goals is where you should join. Not to mention, if the gym is a bit of a monetary commitment, you are more likely to go because you do not want to WASTE that money.

    30 bucks a month, 24 hr gym. It was 45 but we did a couples package - my fiance and I - so instead of 90 (45 each) they drop it to 30 each.

    $48/month at the local JCC - great facility with all the amenities, well-maintained, and never overly crowded.

    $19.95 per month. When I joined a gym several years ago, it was a smaller local chain. This chain was bought out by a big national chain, so now I have access to a number of locations, all with machines, free weights, pool, hot tub, sauna, classes, basketball court. There's also a smoothie cafe that sells smoothies, juice, protein bars, etc.

    I don't use a gym anymore but the price I was paying for the "cheapest" gym was $48 per month. Tiny gym, no classes. Only cardio machines, free weights, weight machines and a tiny free area for bodyweight exercises. Good for someone who doesn't need much.

    Before that the gym was $68 per week and it included classes, a sauna that is temperamental, a women's only area, large mixed area of weights and cardio machines. It had a rockclimbing wall but due to non-use it was removed.

    I plan on joining a university gym when I move cities and this gym will be $62 per week on a 12 month contract. As far as I can see it allows you access to both gym locations, the gym ill be using mostly has a 25m lap pool (yay for tri training), classes included, weights, cardio machines etc. The other location has a 50m lap pool, indoor running track, and a cycle centre (to store your bike with neat services, but it costs extra)

    Gyms in Australia aren't cheap for what you get :/
