How much do people pay for gym membership?

Also American here, but I pay $40 for a membership at my local gym, they are usually $60/month, but my brother and I both go so we got a discount. It's a small local gym, so there aren't any frills, and classes are extra, but the staff is helpful and don't mind helping you learn things if they're not busy with a class or a private training session.
As far as cheaper vs more expensive gyms go-- Remember if you get a membership for a cheap gym, but you don't actually go there-- you don't save any money compared to the more expensive gym you actually use.0 -
£44 per month, LA Fitness in central London - its a steal compared to other central London gyms which can charge £80-90, but it is quite small and basic.
Would recommend getting free passes to a few different gyms and trying them out at the time of day you intend to go - you can work out if you will like it there and if the equipment you intend to use is going to be in high demand at peak times!0 -
We belong to Lifetime Fitness and pay $295 a month for a family membership for up to 7 people. There are 5 of us and 2 of our three kids are adults, so paying for separate memberships would be a lot more expensive. We love the club, our daughter goes happily because she loves the rock wall and spa, our sons love the place too. The free weight area is awesome with no waiting and there are more than enough cardio machines. We also use the pool a lot. Towels, shampoo, soap, hair dryers, etc, are supplied by the club. All of these things are probably not necessary for getting a workout, but for us they are the added incentive to get ourselves out of the door and to the gym to exercise as a family.0

I pay $30 a month for a local chain (in Ohio). It's a mile and a half from my house (which I would walk to, but it's a hilly road with no sidewalks), and since it used to be a women's-only gym until they built into the old Bally's we had, they have a separate section of machines and free weights for women.0

I pay $74 a month and love my gym and all it's classes. I got tired of the machines very quickly but the classes, yoga, Pilates, aerobic dancing, Zumba, etc. never get tiring. Make sure the gym you choose has lots of options.0

15$/month
no damn amenities
BUT it's new, all the equipment is new and shiny and pretty.
the place is super clean and they always have at least one employee at all times who does nothing but clean the place and machines.
so its hard to complain, also is only a 5 min walk, so it's not only the cheapest one but also the closest.
there are some really nice gyms downtown, but they're 60 or more a month...0 -
I have a health and wellness subsidy at work, so I only pay $10/month. I can use the subsidy to pay for any gym, but I chose Goodlife because I can go to any of their clubs in Canada.0

I pay $35.00 a month at 24 hour fitness. Lots of locations to use. The one closest to me has a pool, sauna, jacuzzi and a steam room. Lots of equipment!0

$11 a month, with a yearly fee of about $55. So probably closer to $16 a month if you figure it that way.0

I've had many gym memberships in my day. All at gyms more impressive than my current one and all less expensive than my current gym membership, but what can I do? This is the gym closest to me in this small city. It's small and definitely not worth the $40 a month plus 24 hr access fee.0

I pay 60 a month. Free classes, no pool. That's about as cheap as it gets in NYC...besides Planet Fitness.0

Wait. They have a law enforcement rate? I bet my husband doesn't know this. Must check into it when our membership expires.
