    I guess it depends on what kind of Gym you want to join.
    I was previously a member of The Gym Group budget gym for £10.00 per month introductory offer. This later increased to £16 per month but still super cheap. It had all the cardio machines, weights machines and 1 power rack. Mostly geared to cardio really. Also they offered limited classes but none of the branded ones like Les Mills.
    I changes membership as I mostly enjoy classes and I joined my council gym - Edinburgh Leisure. I think full membership is about £45 per month - I get a small corporate discount but still pay about £40. This works well for me as there are lots of locations throughout the city offering difference classes, facilities and gym standards. If your council has a good selection this might be worth trying.
    A friend of mine used to be a member of Virgin Active and I think this was about £60 per month. She left as she said the classes were always fully booked and she could never get a place. She felt it was a little "posey" and cliquey but that could have just been that one property.
    Anyway I rate our council facilities but I know councils vary.
    Hope you find something to suit.

    Central London (Shoreditch). £55 monthly using a corporate discount from work. Before discovering the corporate discount I paid £65. Gold membership allowing access to multiple gyms and including towels is slightly more expensive.

    £10.99 a month for "The Gym" chain, South-East England.
    That includes cardio machines, weight machines, free weights, etc. A handful of classes although I haven't tried them. Nothing else, but that's all I want really! It's less than a mile from our house so I just jog there.

    My other half pays £18.99 for Pure Gym and basically gets the same as I do, but the location is better for him.

    I paid $55/mo for Lifetime Fitness and it was worth every penny.

    I pay $10/mo for Planet Fitness and it isn't worth it.

    I read lots of bad opinions about Planet Fitness on these boards. What's the deal? I've never been to one, so I'm really just being nosy as to why...

    I just joined Planet Fitness. I've only been there 3 times, but it's awesome. One of the best gyms I've ever been to. It's clean. All the equipment works. Lots of cardio machines available. The staff is friendly. I simply don't see any negatives at all. Maybe not all the gyms are run as well as the one I attend. I have had memberships at several different gyms over the years. Planet Fitness (in Niles, Ohio) is the second best one I've ever seen. Pro Sports Club in Redmond WA is the best gym I've ever been to. Planet Fitness is much more affordable.

    I paid a total of $200 (estimate!) for a year long membership here in the Philippines :) I used to go there for the treadmills but they broke down around 2 months ago. Am trying strength and circuit training now though so it's still okay.

    I'm in the US - I pay $98 a month for a full family membership to the YMCA. It's kinda pricey but I have full access to everything including child care and with three kids everyone in the family uses the services. We get our money worth.

    I pay $125 per year. It is a small gym owned by the city, and their only goal is to recover expenses. It is run by a board, and the machines are old, and sometimes not that good but is cheap and access is 24 hours a day. Although cheap, convience is the main attraction for me. I would gladly pay more for more, but this is just to convienent at the present time.

    I live in Canada and go to an 'all ladies' gym - had 'contracts' for years with them now I pay $28.00/month. Includes classes. No 'luxuries' here though...no pool, steam room, etc.,
    -
    I also think that government's should either subsidize gym membership dues or offer tax incentives! PREVENTION in our health systems is so important...it will save millions!

    I am sadly getting dropped off my family plan next month. I am the US and will be paying $42/month for a YMCA with full fitness center, lap pool, and group exercise classes included. Worth every penny.

    I second this. Worth. Every. Penny.
