    I pay $52 a month at a student rate for a 24/7 gym with no classes. That's $42 USD but i'm not complaining because the average gym here is around $60 a month. Plus i love my gym! Just wish I could pay $10 a month for it! :D

    I pay a lot $69 (this is the discounted rate from $90) a month for my gym membership. Oddly enough it has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I hadn't intended on joining this particular gym because it was so expensive. It was crazy for me to think about paying this much when there are places around here that are as low as $10/month. They had a trial for a week, so I thought a week free at a gym couldn't hurt.
    After my trial ended I went and looked at other gyms. The one for $10/month and no contract was so packed with people and they have so many rules about not grunting or dropping the bars on the floor (if you do, a siren goes off)!

    Then I went to a few 24 hour gyms that were about $30/40 a month depending on if I wanted a commitment or not. These gyms are great for hours because I have an odd schedule but they didn't have a pool which was important to me.

    Then I went to another gym that would be most comparable to the one that I eventually joined. The rate was $55/month and it did have a pool. But it smelled, the staff was not very friendly, it was crowded, and it seemed more like a night club with people picking each other up!

    Me feeling comfortable is important because it means I will actually go!

    So in the end I picked the most expensive one in the city, because it had everything I needed and I actually look forward to going and being in that environment. Also, because it is so expensive I go 6 days a week! I spend several hours a day there, and so now I feel the money is well spent.

    I should add that it is more like country club. There are both indoor and outdoor pools. They have several different rooms with workout equipment and group fitness studios. Tennis courts, racket ball courts, squash courts, basketball courts ..etc. And the locker rooms are gorgeous! They have hair dryers and styling products .. showers with body wash, shampoo, conditioner. You don't have to bring a lock or towels.

    Anyway, you get what you pay for ... but what you pay for you should actually use!

    Wow!! cannot believe the prices you guys pay for a gym in the USA, over here in the UK its expensive, the cheapest I have found is about $70 per month and thats with restricted access. So instead I walk - its the cheapest gym in the world, has excellent views (Yorkshire) and the music is pretty cool (plugged into ipod) and the company excellent (trainee assistance dog).

    Holy smokes I need to move to the states! So cheap. Tanning? Sauna?

    I actually don't pay anything extra during the academic year because of my enrollment in university (included in tuition fees). I get access to the gym, indoor track, Olympic pool, racket center, climbing wall, speed skating track/rink, and a bunch of random stuff. But, I once considered getting a membership to a local gym during the summer until I found out it was 70 bucks. No thanks.

    I pay $64 a month for a family membership at the YMCA. Covers gym, all group classes (kickboxing, zumba, step, body pump, spinning, etc.), daycare for kids while working out, pool, sauna, jacuzzi, and a discount on the fee for all group sports for kids. I think it's a great deal.

    Nothing. $0.00. My gym is the great outdoors. I walk, hike and garden. It's free and it's working for me. The actual health club here costs about $60.00 a month and I'd have to drive 15 miles out of my way to get there so I don't go.

    I don't go to a gym now, but I went to Lifetime Fitness which was $60/month plus $5 for my son. And then another gym that was similar to Lifetime which was $49 plus $8 for my son. Includes indoor/outdoor pools, sauna, hot tubs, steam rooms, basketball court, gym, all classes, the $49 dollar gym had shampoo and conditioner and body wash in all the showers too lol. Oh and rock wall.

    $78 per month for myself and 3 children. + $50/month for onsite daycare for an hour a day + $40 for "extra" classes +$50/hour for personal Trainers and when Husband is home it's $121/month plus the rest of the stuff.

    Since the Y is the ONLY place with onsite daycare, I guess they figure it's cool beans to rip us off in the Pacific Northwest??

    Absolutely NOTHING! But that's because I use the fitness center at the Air Force base here and it's all free. It's 24 hours, has various classes (most are not at times that work for me though) and is also staffed 24 hours a day.

    In other words, you can thanks all of us. :)

    My gym is $50 a month, and I have access to my trainer and nutritionist for that. When I think about it, I think about "is my health and happiness worth $50 a month?" YES IT IS!

    I pay $0 a month because I use the "workout/fitness center" at my apartment complex. it's a small room that includes a stationary bike, an elliptical, a treadmill, free weights and one of those all in one weight machines. it does the job but i long to join a real gym. although now that i'm used to working out virtually alone or with maybe one other person, i might get pissed if people are in my space or if the gym is crowded.
