    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....

    It is a partnership between Healthways and participating Blue Cross/Blue Shield companies. I went to blue365deals.com and registered. Go to the fitness category and click on the Healthways deal. That brings you to the Healthways website where you can find out what participating gyms are located by you, sign up, and print out your temporary membership card. It seems the price varies slightly according to the deal worked out by your BCBS and Healthways.

    I go to a local gym with three locations called Northeast Health and Fitness, that has a really nice weight room that likes when people lift all the weights, and unlimited classes, plus basket ball leagues and things like that, and it is $22.99 a month, plus a $30.00 yearly fee, but after the $150.00 blue cross blue sheild reimbursement, and the fact that my work reimburses the rest it is free. But everyone should be checking with their health insurance, because most offer a reimbursement.

    28$ bi-weekly. So 56$ a month for access to all Goodlife Fitness Gyms in the province. This doesn't include towel service and supposedly this is a corporate rate. :/

    I have one about 200 yards away from my London flat but it's over £80 per month - although it is very, very nice!

    Depends on what amenities you want, but here we have You Fit (jokingly called You Fat). There are always machines available in good shape and free weights available and 2 people cleaning on the floor at any given time. I have been able to negotiate trainer sessions at $25/per 1/2hr session purchased in bulk & I've been working with the same trainer for a year now (I would never just do lunges or planks on my own). I go for cardio 3 days a week and resistance training with the trainer 2 days per week. For the 1st year I gained muscle and endurance, but lost no weight until I started MFP. It is a testament to the fact that you cannot outrun your fork.

    LA fitness for $25/month.
    best thing about it is that there are a ton of locations in the twin cities. I've moved twice since I signed up and never had a gym further than 7 minutes away. Currently there's one 2 minutes from where I live.
    worst thing is that most close at midnight on weekdays but for whatever reason the one closest to me right now closes at 11pm.

    I use the gym at work that is, thankfully, free. I have a rec card that costs $10/yr, although the classes themselves are not included. I was doing Zumba for a while and it was ~$5 per class.

    A few years ago I went to GetFitness and I don't recall it being too expensive - $20/mo or less?

    Perhaps you could check with your local rec center (if you have one in your city) and see what they have available?

    My gym membership is paid for by my work. But if my husband wants to join, it's $500 a year.

    $99 a month for a family membership to the Y. Totally worth it, considering I can get into a Y wherever I travel.

    Occasionally I'll need to get access to a gym when the Y isn't open and will pay anywhere from $5-$15 for a one-time pass.

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

    and I'm blue cross and I pay nothing per month.

    I pay $62/mo for a membership to the YMCA and that covers our entire family (me, the hubs, and our two girls). That gives us access to the pool, all classes, and the childcare center.

    Okay so what I'm seeing here is that most people have some kind of deal for being a student, having Obama Care, through their work, etc. Bummer, none of that would apply to me. I miss being in college and having a super nice facility for free.

    Nothing...our local high school built a fitness center with donations a few years ago and it's now open 24/7 and free to anyone living in the school district. I live in a very small community. It has a variety of cardio equipment plus weight machines and free weights since it's used by the school sports teams for training as well. Just did my first workout with weights last night.

    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?

    Are you in North America or Australia?

    I'm in Texas. Apparently it's expensive here.

    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

    Yeah, this one markets itself as being a "premier club", aka very upscale and overpriced.
