Do you have to be 18 to join a gym?
Snap fitness more specifically.

    Probably not. But then again, I don't know what country you live in.

    You could just go to their website and look....

    "What are the age restrictions to use a gym?
    Age restrictions for Snap Fitness members vary by area. Typically, the minimum age to work out in a Snap Fitness club is 16, but some areas that age may differ. Contact your local club to learn more."

    That's straight from their membership FAQ.

    I think you just have to be at least 18 being your signing a contract etc and it becomes difficult with minors. You can join yes but it would be more your mother or father join and you can be a part of the membership. Some gyms arent fans of minors due to several things most find minors treat the gym like its a club a place to just socialize and hit on other teens etc.

    At the gym I used to go to you could go workout if you were 12 and up. But I don't know about actually joining the gym by yourself... any 12 year olds that worked out were just there because their parents usually dragged them there.

    1). You must be 18 to be on this site.
    2). I don't know about snap but I know that my gym you must be 18 to have an individual membership. I think that it has to do with liability. Also, I don't know that minors can legally enter into a binding contract, that the agreement must be between the (in this case) gym and the guardian. I could be wrong though.

    I know at LA Fitness you can be 14, but you may have to be on an adults account.
