Gym Prices??

It really depends on the gym.

In my area the prices range from $10 (planet fitness) to $70 (a gym owned by a local hospital that has a pool, massage therapist, free trainers, free classes, etc).


I used to go to Snap Fitness and paid $54 a month for my boyfriend and I (we had a dual membership). Now we're at Powerhouse Gym and we pay $44/month for a dual membership.

I pay $65/month but its worth it to me.... many gyms just have machines and not group fitness so they are cheaper. I can go to any location take zumba, kickboxing, yoga, pilates, core, step, cycle, swim, gym, raquetball etc... whenever I want. I could get it for $50 at a single location, but I wanted the option to be ablet o use any facility --- I regularly go to 4 different locations. (LifeTime Fitness)

I would not join a gym just to use machines by myself.. boring! i can do that at home. It's the group fitness classes that keep me motivated -- and the people I meet in them who notice when I am not there and keep me accountable

Here is the cost for my wonderful gym:

Membership Type Monthly Payment Annual Payment
Individual $34.50x12 = $414 annual $378
Couple $48.50x12=$582 annual $558
Family $62.50x12 =$750 annual $738
Junior (14-18 yrs.) $24.00x12 =$288 annual $276
Senior (65+) $28.50x12 =$342 annual $306
Senior Couple(both 65+) $43.00x12 =$516 annual $492

I use to work at a gym and $80 a month seems way too high. Unless you are joining just month to month and not signing a contract, then the price will be higher because they want to get you to sign up for a year or two years. But other than that I think maybe a different, less expensive gym would be better for you! lol

Depends what they offer. We pay about $100 per month for a family membership at the Y. It's a lot more than what people on here are saying. We have two pools (lap pool and sliding pool for the kids), hot tub, sauna, babysitting which was priceless for my wife when the kids were younger, unlimited classes, and access to any other YMCA if we are traveling. More money, but we get a lot for it.

Obviously it depends what you are going to use. If you don't use all that stuff, it's obviously expensive. if you use it all, and take the fitness classes, etc. it's not bad.

Look and see if there is a Planet Fitness in your area. It's only $10/mth.
Sorry I just looked at your location. I don't believe they are in that area yet

After being spotlighted on The Biggest Loser this season I hope to see a lot mor of these pop up! None near me yet

OP: That is way to much unless it comes with free access to a trainer!
For me I work at a juinor college and they have a brand new gym that does offer rates to the public (non-students) that are pretty inexpensive, maybe check out your local community college....

Geez for almost $1000 a year you could make a pretty nice home gym!
Good Luck!!

I pay 19.99 a month at Planet Fitness. I could have went for the $10 membership (limited to home gym only), but paying double allows me to bring in 1 guest everyday, I can visit any Planet Fitness and can use the massage chair/bed, as well as free tanning.
It comes with a 39.99 annual fee, but I think it is worth it

If it's a big franchise in an expensive area than that seems about right. I use retro fitness in an expensive area for $19.99 a month, BUT retro fitness charges the same price at every location...where as 24 hour fitness, New york sports club, etc. doesn't

I love PF! That's where I'm a member; I do the Gold because I enjoy getting a fake tan every now and then, and tanning prices at a salon are ridiculous! Have you ever done their fitness "classes"?

when i lived closer to the city, I payed $90/month for my gym. it included a pool, racquetball, steam rooms, hot tubs, classes tons of cardio and 3 weight rooms! it pretty much had everything you could ever want. there was even an in house physical therapist, massage therapist and chiropractor, as well as a salon. if i still lived near this gym, i would still be there it was that good. Now I am relegated to planet fitness on days i am not with my trainer in a home gym. I love working with a trainer, so motivating and achieving such great results. so, if you get a lot of services for 80, it may be worth it. if you just want to run on a treadmill in a clean environment, i cannot see paying more than 10/month. if you want to be pushed and get incredible results a trainer at $50/session is well worth the expense. i guess it all comes down to what you are willing to pay for.
