Explain a "REAL" gym??
They have weights, treadmills, eliptical, arc trainer, bikes, free weights, ladies locker room, mens locker room, tanning, massage chair just to name a few...So what's not real about that?0 -
24 Hour Fitness $32/month0

I also go to Goodlife and pay just under $40/m for access to every gym in Canada plus towel service and usage of pools etc.0

Anytime Fitness - 39.95/mo + tax0

£17/$25 a month and it's 24/70

PF also bans deadlifts (as a general policy, per the corporation, I know individual PFs have different rules) and don't tend to welcome heavy lifters, so I'm not sure spending the money, small amount that it is, would be worth it for someone who specifically is looking for a gym to lift heavy in.
Good to know about PF! I lost 82 lbs doing almost all cardio prior to getting pregnant again, and as soon as I have this baby (any day now) and am cleared for exercise, I plan to incorporate heavy lifting. I figured I'd join PF, since it's close by and $10/month. Now I will think twice about it!0 -
My 24 hour fitness membership is $19.99/month and it does include clubs with swimming pools. It's a great deal! Costco sometimes has a year or 2 memberships that you can pre-purchase that makes it even more affordable - I want to say the last time I checked, it was $199 or $249 for 2 years.0

They do not allow deadlifting. They also will kick you out for dropping weights, even if unintentional. Some have even limited the free weight area so that what they call "lunks" will not want to attend their facilities.

$21.27 a month. I can pay less, but i dont want another contract.0

Currently have a membership to Blast Fitness, which for just a one location membership (no classes) which it sounds like that would work for you is $10 per month.
I currently have the VIP package which is $19.99 per month and that gives you access to any gym, classes, babysitting and free tanning0 -
I use the local YMCA and that is 50 per month for a household membership.
This is what I would suggest. Of course the quality (and price) of the Y depends on where you live. When I lived in Ann Arbor, MI, the Y was AWESOME! Not so much here, but there are other nice facilities at the county parks that are relatively inexpensive.0 -
The Y near me is 101/month but I have a 10% town worker which makes it 90 and then my insurance reimburses me 50...it's expensive considering but it has daycare, pools, and classes. So worth it for a single mother like myself0

LA Fitness, 29/month, includes all gyms nationally, pool, racquetball, basketball, and all classes free (spin, zumba, yoga, et al)0

PF isnt really geared toward serious lifters. they dont allow certain lifts in their facilities and any noise made from the lifter or the weights seems to get a negative reaction, and even an alarm (from what i have read/heard).
i go to gold for $9.95/mo. it aint big, it aint fancy, but i can lift and its cheap. win.
ETA: PF's marketing is brilliant. i have nothing against them at all...smart business is smart. it's not a good for me is all.0 -

As I said previously, not all are the same, but as a general, corporate policy, they actively discourage heavy lifting, outright band deadlifting (again, some do allow it) and set off a "lunk alarm" if you drop your weights or grunt. So, the heavy lifting crowd tends to not like them since their advertising openly mocks those who lift heavy and seems to encourage people not to grow in or increase their fitness. I have also heard/read that their "free weights" section is very limited and leaves a lot to be desired. PFs are a very divisive topic around here.0 -

you miss a decimal in there somewhere?0 -
Depends where you live, call around or stop by. In Oklahoma only since Gold's gym has others dropped their prices. With that said I have Gold's gym $10 per month, and the YMCA $78 for the entire family.0

59 bucks a month0

Club Fitness - $10 per month.0

I pay 19.99/month at Fitness Factory with a full free weights and machine area - with new expansion adding larger free weights area and hopefully a couple more squat racks! I left PF because I couldn't lift heavy and because they didn't have free weights except DBs and a smith machine. Cheap but not very useful.0

I'd bet it's a Crossfit gym.0 -
this is what I was hoping to do, but it's $84/month for a family plus $99 to join.I use the local YMCA and that is 50 per month for a household membership.
I want a place my H & I can go together, that has childcare so our toddler can tag along. 0 -

165$ a month? I'm hoping that's supposed to be 65$ or your machines are made of actual gold plates
Mine is 42$ at Goodlife Gym with a corporate rate.0 -
I got to a local chain Club Fitness its $19.99 a month which includes, unlimted use of the gym, free classes, and unlimited tanning, and you have 24/7 access, and i have access to other gyms.0
-
I used to have an LA fitness membership and was $40/month. I just had Anytime fitness and was $39/month. I quit anytime because I got a new job that has a gym FREE of charge in the building but wish I could access something on the weekends. Was there an initial fee when you joined LA fitness? I'm thinking of going back there...0

They also order pizza on Mondays and when you walk in to exercise it smells like ****in pizza!!! My membership is up in July and I refuse to go back no matter how cheap it is! One day I heard the "lunk alarm" go off 20 times in a row because some poor guy with headphones on was banging his weights a little...super annoying when you are trying to concentrate on your exercise.0 -
