    24-hour fitness here, for me, is $32 a month with a 3-year contract. there was a $50 sign-up fee. no pool -- weird, complicated laws for gyms with pools and saunas here in MT, so many don't have them -- but everything I really need, and I can go in after work around midnight.

    classes are $1 each. you buy a little punch card with 13 punches for $12. sometimes, like this month, members can be in classes for no extra charge. non-members can take classes for $2 each.


    OUCH!!! I joined 24-hr fitness in California. I pay 26.99 monthly with no contract. Paid 26.99 initiation fee to join along with first and last months fees. I can use any of their gyms regardless of location.
    All classes are included in the monthly membership fee. And of course the huge benefit of this gym is their hours. Very convenient..
    I know they are always changing their fees...

    LOVE 24 Hour Fitness ... absolutely necessary for the odd hours I work out, natch.

    I paid ~$550 for a 3-year contract some years back. It hurt, but there was a clause in the contract that allowed me to renew annually for $99. I'm currently paying $99/year for All-Club Sport access, which basically means I can work out at any 24 Hour Fitness that's a Sport Club and below, and group classes are free. Plenty for me!

    if anyone bothers to read this far down the posts I pay $40/month for 24hr fitness which includes all of their fitness centers. There is no contract and you can do any of the classes for free (doesnt cost anything extra) The one closest to me has pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and racquetball courts although I havent used any of the extras yet. Have been to Zumba classes there which are great!

    I go to YMCA, it's around $35/month with $100 one-time membership fee (which could be waived under application), I really like this gym because it's not 100% commercial, but a gym who's been working hard to give back to the community.

    I'd check your contract again. You probably can't use Super Sport or the one just below it. You can probably only use the Sport gyms in locations that have them and pay a fee for the others. I used to work for 24hr Fitness in San Ramon (Headquarters are stationed there) and know that Super Sport membership costs more.

    I paid a $50 joining fee and now pay $39.99/month for the whole gym (no pool). It has an indoor track, treadmills, ellipticals, weights, and Nautilis equipment plus more. All classes are also free to members. I thought I'd only use the track but I have found myself using the elliptical and the Nautilis.

    $256 with an extra three months free if you join by the year. I know it is more by the month but don't know how much more. This gym has bikes, treadmills, steppers, climbers, all of the weight machines,various classes and personal trainers. In terms of decreased pain and increased flexibility, it is worth every penny. Unfortunately paying for the gym is the easy part :) Doesn't help at all if I don't actually USE it.

    I use the local YMCA (Since they are by FAR the cheapest 'gym option). Lifetime Fitness wanted a $150.00 'initialization fee' and a $75.00 administrative fee (both those fees were just at the start up) and THEN the $94.00 a month for my husband and I. All the other 'big name' gyms in my area had similar 'start up' costs which really is what steered me away from them.

    So, the YMCA is $53.00/month for both my husband and I.

    $14.99 a month at LA Fitness. That includes use of all the facilities (pool included) and all of the classes. My gym has just been remodeled and all of the cardio machines have their own TVs built in. :)

    My husband and I pay $75 a month for our gym membership. Yes, there are cheaper options in our city but this gym is right in our neighborhood (a two minute drive). This made it worth it to us. They have good hours 4am-11pm which is great for my husband as he works nights.

    I'm a Planet Fitness member. I got there Black Card membership for $1 joining fee and $20 per month which gives me 24/7 access toll of their locations, unlimited guest visits (I can bring 1 guest every time I go), unlimited tanning, red-light therapy and massage, and free access to their trainers and training classes.

    They don't have a lot of the other stuff like pools, tracks, etc. They have tons of cardio equipment, a 30 minute circuit area (weights and cardio), a 12 minute an circuit, smith machines, cybex weight machines, dumbbells, etc. Everything that I need in a gym.

    I pay $39.
    Maybe look and see if your town has a comminuty center or a Y? They may not have an indoor track (which is flippin awesome btw--I would probably pay the extra for that lol) but maybe treadmills for the winter months.

    I'm privileged to have free employee gym membership. Of course, there are down falls of this. They are only open during off hours, as the gym is used for rehab, and the equipment is limited.
    But hey, It's free!

    I pay $40/month and that includes my whole family (husband, 2 young boys and me). They have a great pool with kid area so we take our two young boys (2 years and 4 months) for family time. :smile: They also have an indoor jungle gym for our boys and daycare for when we workout (we haven't used that one yet though). It's a community center and I love it!

    I did pay £8 a week for use of the local leisure centre but its never open when you want it and I think its expensive for what it is. SO - I cleared out my garage, bought a weights bench, some free weights and a treadmill. Now I just added a turbo trainer for my bike. so although its cost me something like £400 (the treadmill alone was £180 secondhand 3 months old and was £480 new) it costs me nothing to use as much and as often as I like!

    This is true. I went to a Super Sport in O.C. and the desk guys was sure to let me know my membership was All Sport which didn't include Super Sport though he still let me work out for that day. I live in San Diego though and there are only 2 Super Sports and countless Sports. A new Super Sport is opening next year near my job so I'm considering upgrading if I like it. Like I said earlier though I pay $20 per year now and the upgrade will be $20 per month (still a good deal for Super Sport supposedly) but I'm not sure I will want to pay 12 times what I pay now.

    @velvetkat
    Have you been to a regular Sport? Do you find a big difference between the two?

    Planet Fitness is from $10.00 to $20.00 a month. The $10.00 has pretty much all a person would need.:tongue:
