    LA FItness $45 for me AND husband. $20 for BOTH kids per month, and I get to use free weights LOL. Body weight is fine for a little resistance, but I need real weights to do real lifting with access to pool and lots of classes. By paying for it, the cheapskate in me makes sure I USE it so that I'm not wasting money.

    Whichever gym you choose, make sure to check out the cancellation policy first. LA Fitness will charge you $200 bucks if you try and cancel, I'm pretty sure it's a similar situation at Bally's. You should look into your local YMCA. The prices tend so look a little higher at first, but usually the child care is included or much cheaper, and you get a discount for a family membership.

    We pay $75 per month for a family membership at the YMCA. Includes swimming lessons, and all other programming. Our neighborhood Y was rebuilt a couple of years ago and has all new weights and machines.

    I pay almost 80 a month for myself and one kid, 2.00 drop in for each additional child. But really, the way i look at it is
    1) i could spend that money on much worse things
    2) I wont need diabetes medication some day which would cost a lot more than that - even in canada
    3) What is your health and happiness worth??
    That is how i justify.

    Right now I go to planet fitness and they're supposed to draft 21.39 out of my card each month for the black card. It is still less than the previous gym I went to that was not open as often, did not have as many options. Plus I can take someone with me. Win-win.

    $30/month at LA Fitness! Worth every penny. When I signed up they had a special going so I didn't have to pay anything down.

    This is my second time with LA Fitness. The first time when I cancelled all I had to do was turn in a form. No money.

    I go to a local gym because I like the classes and Planet Fitness is too far to drive every day, although if I change jobs I might join there. I pay $48/month for myself.

    That's what I have as well, but way back when I had to pay 3 years in advance. But, as long as I maintain my membership, it stays $49 a year.

    $0.00 because I don't need one. I've walked, jogged, biked, hiked, swam, mowed, pulled weeds and cleaned my house to lose 41lbs since January. :)
