How much do you or have you spent on average per month for gym memberships, personal trainers, exercise classes, entrance fees to races, club memberships etc? Whatever form of exercise you do, what does it cost you roughly per month to be active. No real reason for asking other than simply being nosy :)


For me so far since Aug 2012:
Walking - free
Couch 2 5k - free
Parkrun (weekly 5k timed run) - free
Gym membership - £23 per month
Pilates DVD - £20 one-off buy

    I work at my gym, and in exchange, I do not pay membership fees.

    Pretty much the only thing I pay for is yoga, its $60 for 5 classes. Running shoes, the very, very occasional race entry fee you could also include.

    I was spending £33 on gym membership. However I've just cancelled it and have invested in some home gym equipment costing around £500 in total and will be paying that off over the next few months. Once that's paid for I shuoldn't have any regular outgoings, assuming I resist buying anymore equipment. I expect to be buying more workout downloads at some point though.

    On cardio:
    Walking: free - but Amazon prime membership to watch videos while walking is about $8 a month, also have a Netflix 2 dvds at a time membership which is $12 - do not have cable though
    Cycling: free, unless you count the cost of the bike - I do about 5 sponsored rides a year, they are about $30-40 a ride.

    I teach yoga at a gym and I get a free membership, but I have yet to use it :laugh:

    Now, yoga on the other hand, that's pretty much takes care of any disposable income I have. I take 2-3 classes a week for $20-35, sometimes I'll sub a class and get paid in-kind. I also go to one group practice a week, which is usually another $10. I go to weekend workshops at least 8 times a year, those are $200 each. I'm also on the next level of teacher training (I already have a 200 hour, I'm going for a 500 hour), but that really is more education than fitness. Teacher training is expensive. I'm doing the cheapest one around (it's a non-profit) and it's $160 a weekend - there are 16 weekends.

    My gym had a Black Friday sale: buy 6 months, get 6 months free. Worked out to about $12 / month. Normally I pay about $20/ month (corporate rate). That includes spin class, core class, yoga. Running is free but I run in quite a few races so I probably avg $75-100 a month on race fees. I go through 2 to 3 pairs of running shoes a year. And I don't even want to know what I spend on workout clothes (ignorance is bliss!)
