    60 bucks. My gym charges more like 70 now but I'm grandfathered in at that price. That's about as cheap as I can get in NYC. Classes are includeded-no pool

    $30 a month, but if you go 12 times or more $9. I'm usually there 5 days a week.

    Ours is $42 a month for two of us. No glitz or swimming. Just lots and lots of weights and exercise bikes/ski-thingees, and free classes -- yoga, pilates, etc.

    I have two gym memberships - the one near my house is $20 per month with unlimited guest passes (my boyfriend and I share). The one near my boyfriend's house that also has a gym near our offices is about $35 per month I think. He pays for it for me so I'm not quite sure how much it is but it's not more that $35.

    Mom pays $20/mo for a Planet Fitness black card (I asked for a gym membership for the holidays). She is often my guest. I don't do group classes and this PF has more than the equipment I will use. It's also 24 hours and less than a 5 minute car drive away, so I can go when my insomnia is peaking.

    I don't have a gym membership...I run in the park and do body weight exercises at home. I used to have a gym membership when I lived in a neighborhood that didn't have a great park to run in....I was paying $110 per month.

    $310 Canadian a year = $26 a month = less than $1 a visit.
    Access to 4 Municipal rec centres ( one built specifically for the Commonwealth Games) that includes, multi pool use, 4 well stocked gyms, free drop in classes for aqua fit, circuit training, cardio/ strength/dance, etc.
    They are extremely clean and friendly.

    I back on to the jogging trail and sports fields of one of them, so it is less than 5 min to get there, but I do utilise all 4 of them.

    Try to get in 5-8 times a week, even if it is just a quick practice swim and soak in the hot tub soup.

    Cheers, h.

    I prepay my gym membership for six months and it's $35 total, so around $6 a month. I am there 6 times a week for good 1-1 1/2. No pool, but all the lifting equipment that I need!

    I joined planet fitness when they were having a $99/yr special going on.

    $8/mo fits my "single mom" budget very nicely.

    It is crazy how different the prices are! Although obviously some people want the free classes that go with a membership, trainers, swimming pools, or open 24hours.
    I live in a small town with only 2 choices, and I am not impressed by either of them. Hoping to move soon, but for now I might use the cheaper of the two($20 per month). It is TINY and they have limited hours they are open, but they are open when I can go.

    Anyways, Very interesting! Thank you all for sharing!!!

    NYC is so expensive!!! It is insane the cost of some things. $60 seems good for living there!

    That really is incentive to go! Cheaper the more you use it!

    $0 gym membership - invested in a home gym converting storage room ; bought the equipment we need and can now wake as early as I want ; *note: free weights less expensive than a workout system, heavy bag, dumb bells, jump rope, BOB, kettle ball, dip station, chin up bar, HIIT iPhone app for cardio! Finished!

    I would love a home gym! But we are looking to move cross country in the next 6months. So it doesn't make sense to do this yet.

    I wish they had that going when I signed up. :(

    £54 and it's a crap Virgin Gym, but it's the only gym near me with a "usable" weights section. FML.

    £15.99 a month , Fitness4Less, just around the corner from my office. Big open gym with a decent weights section, with at least 2 squat racks.
    So much better than the £34.99 a month I was paying for a fitnessfirst, which had a rubbish weights section.

    This is my 4th gym in a year. This one I am never leaving.

    Me and my husband pay $95 a month and $4 an hour for day care. We both go 5 to 6 days a week.

    It has indoor basketball court, indoor and outdoor running track, three separate lifting sections one for the plate weighted machines, one for the pin loaded machines and a ladys only section, saunas, a kids gym for 9 and up, a huge cardio room, three pools, a boxing ring, free yoga classes, tennis and raquet ball courts (you have to pay extra to use those).

    It would be interesting to know how locked into to contracts you folks are. My gym is either £5 per session or £33 pcm with unlimited use BUT it is on a monthly basis with no contract.
    If you can't afford to go one moth or are away on holiday/business etc then you're not going so you don't pay for the month.
    He probably loses out from not getting the new year resolution crowd who sign up for a year and go twice but it's brilliant old school gym with great trainers.

    I pay $20/month, I'm usually there three days a week (sometimes four), and I can bring my husband as a guest if he decides to skip the gym at his place of work for whatever reason.

    We aren't locked into any contract, but if we leave and want to come back we have to pay the $200 sign up fee again.

    I have to give 30 days notice to cancel. It's $50 to sign back up but January and September they always have specials to waive the joiner fee. No long term contract

    I don't currently have a gym membership, my husband does though. It's a very basic gym, open 24/7 not always attended by staff. A year long membership was $250. He goes 3-5 times a week, usually after midnight when there are maybe 2 other people there. All in all, a really, really good deal.
