Tell me what you pay and what you consider reasonable? I am checking out gyms in my area and wondered what would be aq good deal?

    i pay $80. Thats for childcare while I workout too, and all the classes they offer for no additional charge. I go about 4x a week so its worth it to me. That is the most i would ever pay though.

    Got membership at the Uni gym for £150 for the year. It's not 24 hours (which is a shame as it gets a bit busy during the day) but has access to 25m pool. Have to pay extra for classes too.

    It really depends on where you live. I'm in a rural area, and my co-worker lives in the metro area. She has a membership through work at all the Ballys' in the world, with pools and full service and everything. $180 per YEAR!!!. I live in the other direction and am looking at Anytime or Snap and other key card yourself in and we wish you luck type places with no pool or anything for $30 per month. :(

    Good luck.

    $65/mo at the YMCA near our house, for a family membership (it's currently just my husband and I, no kids). Includes access to all workout equipment, pool, hot tub, sauna, aerobic classes, and I'm sure more that we don't use. Before I would have said that I thought it was a bit much as it was small, and kinda run down looking but they did a huge renovation and now it's really nice.

    I got the 24 Hour Fitness deal from Costco - 2 year pre-paid for $299 (= $12.50 per month). Only downside is the gym is crazy crowded at prime time.

    I go to Planet Fitness and it's $10 a month. Very nice gym. I like it a lot! No spa or swimming pool and noone judging you or telling you to get a trainer. For $20 a month you can tan and bring a visitor every time you want to.

    $70/month for me and hubby and childcare for my daughter. All the classes are free, has pool and sauna and we did not pay a sign-up fee. We aren't under contract either, can cancel at anytime.

    $10 a month $30 annual fee..they have tons of equipment, cardio, machines, a circut...BUT...no extras..no pool, childcare, classes, nothing..however it is well maintained, clean and really friendly staff, and has every thing I need so it is a trade off, but I go 5 times a week which is only .50 cents per workout, so it is an awesome deal for me.

    We live in NY and joined about 3 yrs ago. Our rates are really amazing.... For the family rate (me and husband) we pay 90.00 combined! This was before the gym was redone so they gave us a great rate and we were grandfathered in. We really make the most out of our memberships, and it also has free babysitting, which I try not to use too much.....

    OMG... that's a super bargain!!! Where do you live, how can I get such a good deal?

    I pay £45 a month @ LA Fitness... I'm on a 6month contract which suits me as I joined to use the swimming pool, although I do use the gym too at the weekends. (the pool also has steam room, sauna and spa pool - fitness classes, sunbeds and other services are extras.) The municipal facilities were £34 a month, but not as salubrious although I never ventured into the gym and it's about £50 to join the Aqua Springs spa centre as well as the fitness pool and gym... which is why I thought the membership I was on wasn't too bad for the privilege of a half-empt pool and good clean facilities.

    retro fitness if the best for guys looking to get in shape
    $20 a month and sometimes no join fee at all!
    Problem is if you're looking for pools or zumba classes or that stuff then you're in the wrong gym. They have all the machines you can think of.

    Wow I wish our gym was that cheap ours is $46 a month and that isn't day care that is seniors rate for a 3 month min. There is no pool or sauna but when you are the only one I guess you can charge anything you want. We do have a gym that only runs Cross Fit classes and it is about $50 per mon with 2 classes per week more if you want 3 per week. That is why I buy DVD and work out at home.

    Planet Fitness. $19.99 a month with no annual fee for the "black card" that let's me bring a guest, so my husband can come with me. In theory. In reality, I can rarely convince him to go.

    I workout at LA Fitness...Actually joining that club is a nightmare.(Unless you enjoy buying a used car from a dealership.) There is a negotiation process on the price that can get rather nauseating quickly. Originally they tried to charge me 175 initiation fee and 34.99 a month...After a week of banter back and forth I settled at 25 initiation fee and 29.99 per month.

    I love the gym itself...It's huge, they have a wide variety of equipment and weights, and is hardly ever crowded!

    However I think I'm going to join the new Gold's that came to town for 19.99 per month.

    I also go to LA Fitness. They waived the initiation fee since I transfered from another club. It's $30 a month for unlimited classes, racquetball, pool, weights and workout equipment. Childcare is extra. I'm in the Chicago suburbs and thats a pretty good price for everything they offer. The club I left was almost twice as much and a longer drive.

    I am in Oklahoma. My Curves membership is $37.01 per month with a One Year Contract. I think it is about $5 more a month if you just do a Month-To-Month membership.
    I think that Anytime Fitness is about $37 a month, plus $20 to add your Spouse.

    Not sure what country you're in so not sure if this is useful, but £17.95 for a year, 24/7 including classes. Corporate meant that I saved the admin fee, but if you work for a large company you may get a decent corporate membership, always worth telling them where else you've looked and your budget I find...

    I should say also - this is a no frills (I don't need frills) gym - but the downside is no pool, which I would like but I'm on a budget and you can't have it all :-) £19.99 per month without 12 month commitment.
