Hiya

I am on a rolling monthly membership at Club Moativation in Holiday Inn, it is £37, which I feel is a bit much for the amount of machines and equipment they have there. Its handy though and friendly atmosphere. I could get it for less if I had a 12 month contract though, which I prefer not to do.

I was just wondering where other people go and how much they pay?

    I go to puregym - no pool or sauna, but HUGE with great equipment and always clean, open 24hrs and free classes. I joined before my local one opened so I pay £10.99 a month for the first year, if you join once it has opened its around £18.99 a month.

    I go to fitness first, I get 98% of the classes for free unless they get in a specialist trainer in then its about £3/4 for the hour session.
    We have a pool, 2 levels with a freestyle area.
    Sadly, its not 24hours but it was so much better in terms of equipment, staff attitudes, cleanliness etc compared to other gyms in my area. I have a anytime contract which is £39.99 a bit much but if Im there 3 or 4 times a week I think its worth it and when I joined I was given 4 personal training sessions and can ask for help if I need it without gettifng a PT session. I had a regular member of staff spwnd 40minutes with me showing me a new routine the other day because I said i was bored haha no other gym Ive been with have ever done thay

    I am at a local gym called The Stables Gymnasium (also a MMA school) has everything gyms need plus posts a Olympic sized boxing ring and has professional trainers morning afternoon and evening available.

    Also there are alot of fighters like myself who lend a hand to new people and even share techniques and help each other out.

    The prices are £25 a month for either classes only or gym only (£20 for students & kids classes) and then £45 for the complete classes and gym.

    Had to put prices up due to a 100% rent increase which is ridiculous!

    Well there's a chain of gyms called Gym4All which is £15 per month, which I used to go (before I bought the treadmill) - they are great, no gimmicks just really good machines and equipment, well maintained, loved it. Might go back if I decide to do more serious strength work and sort out a job!

    Also there's FitSpace, which is about £12 per month depending on where you are (being in London, I find the gym rates are always a bit higher even with chains, so it might be a bit better in the midlands!)

    I use golds gym which is 35 pound a month, it has a lot of machines and a small pool. It's ok but they wanted to charge me and my wife more for a joint membership. Than both having single ones. I thought that sounds like crap business sense..lol

    I go to my local sports centre which has a excellent modern gym paid for by lottery funding. They've got a proper pool too.

    It's £430 a year (£35.50 a month) to use the gym, studio classes, pool and thermal spa. I find this works best for me as I do a bit of everything, paying yearly gets me two months membership for free.

    Gym only on a monthly DD (no lock in contract!) is £31 a month.

    The only downside is that it shuts at 10pm really.

    Interesting topic and huge variance in prices!

    I am looking to join our (only) local gym this week and for two of us we are looking at £63 a month, which I think is dreadful!

    Unfortunately, rural Dorset does not have much of a selection, so unless we want to travel, we are stick with it.

    Let's hope it is worth it :)

    We have 2 gyms in our Parish ............... One is huge and has a pool, cardio gym, weights gym and loads of classes ........... it costs £35 per month for use of the gyms and pool but extra for classes. The other is a small gym with no pool, limited classes but great equipment for cardio and strength. That one costs £31.50 a month for use of the gym, personal workout programme (updated every 6 weeks) and free use of the fishing lake and 9-hole golf course. The classes are charged at a reduced rate for members.
    I chose to join the smaller gym with less facilities but only because it seemed less daunting with less people using it. The service I got when I joined was A* and all the staff are really friendly and helpful. I go for an hour each morning Mon-Fri so consider that I'm getting my moneys worth. Who knows .............. I may even take up fishing and golf!! :-)

    Wow, I think I must be paying over the odds. The gym I go to is £50 a month. Swim, sauna, steam room (not used the sauna or steam room until I have lost a lot of weight - using that as my bargaining chip to myself) Lots of machines, weights and plenty of classes to choose from.
    I used to go to the local leisure centre, that was £30, but to go to classes was extra, and they didnt have a large amount of equipment.

    I go to our local council gym which is £15/month. It is unlimited use if the pool and gym (because it is a council gym there are lots of swimming lessons). Classes are about £4 I think but I have never done one. It is great. The staff are really friendly and it is completely unpretentious. X

    A little over £30 a month each doesn't seem that much (depending on facilities). Even if you only go 3x a week that only equates to £2.50 a visit.

    £47 a month at fitness first. Unfortunately my commute is killer and my nearest fitnes first not that near so for the last 3 years it's pretty much equated to £300 per visit :P New years resolution - go to the gym more :P (Or at the very least give up my membership!)
