    I go to a Gold's Gym in So California. $28 a month because i've been there since they opened a few years ago. The average is $40 a month though. Open 5 am - midnight Mon - Fri and 7 am to 9 pm Sat SUn. The only reason the hours aren't longer is because it's attached to the mall. It has tons of equipment, a pool, sauna, steam room and a cycle room. It has a classroom that runs most of teh day with different cardio classes. My favorite thing they have is a cardio cinema. It's a room where they play a movie all day and you do cardio while watching the film. (bike, treadmill or elliptical. That room has turned many of what might have been a 30 minute workout into over an hour because I wasn't willing to just sit in the room and watch while not moving my butt, lol.

    If you have Blue Cross / Blue Shield check into their wellness program. I pay $25 a month and it gets me into multiple gyms. The one I use the most is LA Fitness. I can go to any of them. This helps when I travel.

    LA Fitness. About 37 bucks a month.
    There are four of them within 20 minutes from my house.
    The best part is I could use any LA Fitness in the country it's great when I travel.

    24 Hour Fitness is only $39.99 a month and it goes down every year. And I love it there!

    Mine is free because I'm old now and my supplemental insurance pays for it!

    I go to EoS Fitness (in other states it's Gold's Gym.) $25/mo including childcare for my 2 boys and lots of classes (which I don't go to, I prefer to lone-wolf it). Open 24/7.

    How does that work? I have them too. Are you sure it's not specific to your company and BC/BS? I wouldn't mind a bigger discount on my membership....

    I pay for 2 gyms each $30 a month. Plus I can use the facilities at the university where I work for free. I have access to spinning, group fitness, water aerobics, full gym (weights and cardio). I don't use it much because I work off campus and getting on campus and parking is kind of a pain.

    Mine is 1300kr a month( that is after a discount) which is like $160 but that includes PT , clothes, diet plan, body fat measurements ,all classes, towel, locker very very nice gym with sauna of course, also crossfit box, yoga studio etc All the staff know you by name. Wouldn't swap for any other gym totally worth the money. I think the cheapest gym in Stockholm is still around 45$ and that's not somewhere I'd want to go

    Dang, y'all! I Googled gyms near me and checked prices on at least a dozen of them. There was literally not a single option less than $75/month. Is this a big city problem or what?

    I've paid anywhere from $10 a month (very small town I visited occasionally) to $300 a month (affluent area in a major city), and everything in between. Those two extremes were both very well equipped gyms. Location makes a huge difference.

    I have an interesting plan through my health insurance. $25/month gets you membership at many gyms nationwide, including their major partners SNAP fitness and Anytime. It is a great deal, especially for someone who travels.

    I have this deal too. Also have a membership at a local not for profit facility $67 for a family membership (unsubsidized). As many immediate family members as you have, through college age. 2 locations, free babysitting, most classes come with membership, towels, weight rooms have lifting platforms, power racks, pretty nice set up.

    One of my options on the insurance plan is a Gold's Gym Express. Interesting concept, base membership is $10 a month, $20 allows you to bring a guest, free tanning, 50% off drinks, protein bars, etc. The front of the gym is the cardio equipment, next are the weight machines. Behind some partial walls are lifting platforms, power racks, benches, and dumbbells up to 150 lbs. Around another partial wall is what could be a crossfit box. Large open area with climbing ropes, sled, set of about 50 stairs to climb, sandbags, kettlebells to 40KG, some random bars and a large multipurpose unit with TRX straps, some racks for barbells, etc. Out back is a large tractor tire for flipping.

    Neat concept, allows the Planet Fitness types to be in the gym without having to see much of the "lunks".

    Nothing because it is part of my HOA and open 6AM to 8PM Monday-Sunday (we have two fitness centers). I pay for Pilates and Yoga $30 a month for unlimited classes and only if I am planning to attend a lot of classes; if not, I pay $5 per class.

    Are you in North America or Australia?

    Here in Tasmania, the best gym we've come across runs approx. $1000/year ... or $2000/year for the two of us. No discounts because there's two of us.

    We had a membership for a year ... nice gym ... really liked it there ... but just couldn't justify $2000/year.

    So we went on the hunt for something more reasonable and found ... nothing. A few were slightly less money but significantly less quality.

    So we built a gym in our basement.



    However, just recently I've discovered the university gym which I can use because I'm a student and it is half the price of everywhere else. We checked it out on Sunday and have decided we'll continue to use our basement gym most of the time (convenience), but will drop into the university gym now and then because their drop-in rates are the lowest around ... and they have drop-in rates. So many of these 24-hour places (Anytime, ZAP, etc.) don't have drop-in rates ... you've got to fork over a fortune and all your bank account details in order to be able to walk through the door.

    140/ month and that's the student rate but it's a small private gym. Most larger gyms run 80-100. I think it might be a city problem. Some of the suburban areas have cheaper chains like Planet Fitness or Gold's.

    $72 a month for a family membership to the YMCA. Free classes, pool, sauna, indoor track, basketball courts, 2 hrs daycare a day Mon - Sat, and I am able to use any of the 24 locations in the Gateway Region.

    I pay $15/month for Fitness 19 and it's kinda crappy. My trainer told me they never clean the equipment. Um...ew. :/ I'm thinking about quitting there and joining somewhere else, but I'm not sure where yet. I know our 24hr is $50/month but it's full of annoying men. We also have a Crunch that's $70/month. The super duper nice and fancy gym here is $300 which I can't afford but I sure wish I could.

    I'm blue cross. Mine is $20. Perhaps it's based on location...

    Technically speaking nothing, as gym access is included in my programming.

    Programming is $150 a month, and more than worth that.

    I am not sure, but I know it is not just my company. I would check your site or call your admin or 888.762.BLUE

    60 per month. 24 hours. Includes classes. All the equipment I need to get powerlifting done and body build. Cardio if I ever wanted to. This is NYC so I consider it pretty cheap. I'm grandfathered in though. I think the gym price is 70-80 now if you join.

    Regular fees at my gym (2 locations) are $30.00 per month but I go for free as part of my Medicare Advantage insurance (Silver Sneakers) since I'm old. Unlimited classes (Yoga, Pilates, Cardio, Body Pump, Dance, Tae Tek, etc.); all machines, boxing, Spinning, TRX (small fee), HIT (small fee), free child care. Totally worth it for me since it's free. Lots of competition for gyms since I'm in a large urban area of South Florida.

    If you belong to Silver Sneakers you can sign up at no cost at any gym in the area that accepts the program. There are quite a number of gyms available.

    $10 a month, that includes 2hours a day Monday-Saturday of child watch for my 3 kids, and unlimited classes. The gym has a huge machine and free weight section, large cardio section, spin cycle room/classes, another studio with Zumba, yoga, body pump, etc classes, and a fenced outdoor turf area with tires and other cool crossfit type stuff... Locker rooms are nice, big, have dry saunas... BEST DEAL EVER.

    I was shocked to read in the OP that the Anytime Fitness facility close to you is $250/mo. I have an AF membership and including tax is about $46/mo. Granted though, mine doesn't have a pool and such but it has a good amount of equipment and I love being able to go ANY TIME

    I'm in Houston and there are quite a few $10 a month gyms here!
