    I pay 25$ CAD per month for my gym membership. I used to take dance lessons (45$ per semester). I received my free weights and my 2 Jillian Michaels DVDs as Christmas gifts. I don't buy any protein or shakes.

    Wow glad my gym membership isn't as expensive as what seems to be about the general consensus... Mine is $28/mo... all of the cardio machines have their own TV and the whole thing is only about a year and a half old...

    I spend between $35-70/mo for RAW meal replacement beyond Organic... depending on whether I only have it for 1 meal a day or 2... I buy it on Ebay... I always get the vanilla and mix with coffee and almond milk and only do 1 scoop of it... sure it kind of tastes like licking the bottom of a dirty fish bowl... but it is the single healthiest 'food' I've EVER seen, so worth it to me for the health benefits... plus maybe it's just me, but even though I can eat cheese ok, I just cannot stomach the aftertaste in Whey protein.

    I pay $70 a month for MMA classes, and the centre lets you use their cardio and weight equipment any time. I also do P90X at home for free (yay Pirate Bay :tongue: ) .

    My gym ws $285 up front for the year, works out to $23.75/mo. For that I get a full weight room, machines and free weights, squat rack, smith machines, dumbbells, treadmills, ellipticals, and bikes. 2 full basketball courts with an elevated running track above them (1/12 mile loop). 6 lane lap pool (25 yards) with at least 2 lanes always open for lap swims, and a splash pool for the kiddos (3 ft max depth, with a tube waterslide). They have open swim times as well, which I can use. Not bad for what I pay.

    Has anyone heard of IMS Barter?? That is how I pay for my gym membership. It's great. I also pay for my personal training sessions that way. Just dropped $1500 trade dollars on a new 6month program. Please feel free to PM me if you would like more information. Or go to www.imsbarter.com

    I am not soliciting, just passing on helpful information. Thank you.

    I get access to one gym free from the wife's job.

    I pay $10/month for another one.

    I have a treadmill and a bunch of weights/equipment in the garage.

    I still don't manage to actually work out with any frequency... :-/

    $30/month for the gym (cardio, weights, classes, pool, jacuzzi, sauna). This is totally worth it as I go to two Zumba classes and two Yoga classes a week which would probably run me at least $20/week individually. I go through about 2 jugs of protein every 3 months, so that works out to be about $30/month for that. I've spent maybe $80 in the last year on exercise apparel and $130 on shoes (but I would've bought new sneakers anyway).

    Y'all must be going to the fancy clubs to pay what some of y'all are! I pay $20 a month at my gym, includes all the classes. But I spend probably about $400 a month total on fitness...I see my personal trainer 3X a week, always having to get new workout gear because mine gets too big, and protein powder/bars are PRICEY! Though one does not have to spend that kind of money for their health...but I used to spend that much money a month on going out to eat, drinking, and buying crap I didn't need...so I am okay with it :happy:

    $26.49/m after tax. That's the cheapest we have here. Looked at one yesterday that would run me $348 for a personal trainer + $44.99/m, but I don't think I'll do that. My gym has the bare minimum right now.

    I am going to look at one today with an indoor pool, indoor track, classes, free training help, etc.. I'm guessing it'll be much more than I can afford ($80/m is my estimate).


    Edit: As for fitness, I don't spend that much per month. I buy what I need, when I need it. Just bought an HRM for 80 on amazon, I buy new clothes from time to time. I have a pair of $120 sneakers (plantar fasciitis sucks), but I don't have any *good* workout clothes. I spend most of my money on food. I'd love to buy a personal trainer, but I am/will be paying for school out of pocket so that won't be for awhile! :cry:

    The YMCA by my house is like $165 a year...which isn't bad...they take into consideration how much you make and the cost of your bills and total it and that's what you pay. Honestly I think every gym should do this! Just because you are low on money doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to join a gym. My boyfriend and I are going to join soon :)

    $30 a month. But I get reimbursed every 6 months for the entire cost from my health care provider. I spend about $50 in supplements (protein bars) and protein smoothies after every work out.

    $50 a month for my gym. There are a few gyms in my area half that, but they are always packed, total meat markets and they they are filthy. So I happily pay more. They free TRX classes alone make it worth it.

    Supplements? Maybe $25 a month or so.

    $0 since I am currently using dvds & the outdoors. I do want to find a gym sometime next year since my kids will both be in school then & I'll have some extra time on my hands but we'll see. I've been looking into joining crossfit then but not sure it'd be a fit for me.

    I do not take supplements or shakes or anything else. On fitness gear, maybe $300 a year total? Counting shoes, new workout pants since my olds ones keep falling down midworkout, a new dvd here & there, heavier weights, etc. I've never really sat down & totalled it up since my purchases are done pretty randomly and I sometimes go a couple months without needing to buy anything.

    YMCA Membership, $24.50 per month

    Other than that, nothing. I do not take any supplements and my grocery bill hasn't really changed despite changing to healthier foods.

    I spent $800 for a 10-month membership, but memberships at my gym usually run closter to $99-119/mo. I don't spend much on protein shakes, but I spend a few bucks here and there on recovery drinks, sports drinks and coconut water. Probably adds up to $30-40, give or take.

    I paid about $6,000 for my Gym. But, it was a one-time expense, because I built my own.

    $20/month at Anytime Fitness. They were running promotional deals if you bought a membership before they opened the new location, and I'm part of a family pack. First member $30, additional $20. I believe it's more expensive now for new members, probably closer to $50/month. There's a $25 annual fee as well for upgrades/improvements. I spend nothing else on fitness.
