    I have a treadmill. That's my "gym."

    Currently I'm in a really lucky situation where I am technically paying nothing. My apartment complex has a very small gym room with several cardio machines and a multipurpose weight machine. I paid $10 for the access key and will get that back when I return the key. It is a small gym, but it suits my needs right now. In a couple months I'll be moving though :(

    In the past, I've had memberships at the YMCA and Anytime Fitness. Anytime was a year long contract and was around $50 a month I think (this was awhile ago) for one person. It sucked. I hated that overcrowded gym and when I moved, the nearest one was just inside their mile range from my home that they wouldn't allow me to cancel my membership for free.even though I didn't have a car and would have to take a cab or ride three buses for almost two hours to get to that gym. So I ended up paying monthly for something I didn't use. Jerks. The YMCA was $56 a month for one. But I wasn't making much money and they almost all have financial support programs. I applied and they only made me pay $4 a month. When I moved that time,they made no fuss about cancelling. And they have so many different programs, classes, facilities!


    When I move, I'll most likely be going back to the Y. Loves their gym, loved their easy cancellation policy, etc. Wish they had better hours is my only thing.

    I just have to ask, why would you ride buses for two hours when you could walk a mile in less than twenty minutes?

    She didn't!

    I think he was just asking why she'd even mention riding the bus for hours when she could walk a mile in 20 minutes to the gym.

    My understanding is that they have a mileage radius that if you move out of, you can cancel but if you're still within their radius they won't let you. I would assume what the poster meant was that the move still had her within a mile of their total radius which could be many miles...I think it's 20 or 30 or something like that. A friend of mine had the same thing happen.

    I spent about $1000 on home equipment, plus had to buy a house with one more bedroom than I would otherwise need, which was about $4000. If I work out until I go to the old folks home it comes out to about $10 a month. The basic Anytime Fitness down the street is $35 a month, which hasn't been too enticing. When I lived in Vegas I belonged to a huge gym with two pools and an indoor track for $12 a month. I miss that gym.

    I've mentioned this on this site several times before, but I have an option through my health insurance so I pay $25.00 per month and can go to any gym in town. Actually, nationwide as long as the gym participates in the program. Most large ones do. I like variety so I go to 3 gyms regularly.

    The cheap gym membership makes it justifiable for me to pay $300.00 per year for unlimited yoga classes. Seemed like a lot at first, but paying $10/class a couple times a week adds up quickly.

    I have two gyms I go to:

    First one is a powerlifting and Olympic lifting focused gym. $30/month until my contract renews. Then it goes up $5 due to price increases.

    Second one is pretty exclusive, but limited on equipment. Though, still has a good selection. Good for while at work, or can't make it to the other gym. So, either free. Or, I get paid to workout if I'm on the clock and have other work done.
