How much do you pay for a gym membership?

i paid $299 for 2 years to 24 hour fitness good at any of the locations... i bought my membership at costco

This.

I live in the middle of nowhere. We have one single option for a gym, and it's $40 per person, or $55 for a couple. Worth it? Sometimes.

I pay just over $65 a month for a family membership at our local YMCA. It's an old building, and isn't the most up to date newest equipment, but to me it's worth every penny. I"ve been going long enough that most of the employees know me, ask how I'm doing, and now they are all noticing that I'm dropping the weight. (Thankfully they never commented in the past when I would gain it back! I will NOT be gaining this back!!!)

21.49 for YouFit. But no classes or child care.. it's a no-frills. Worth every penny, for unlimited guests, so my fiance and I both go for that 21 bucks.

I'm in Chicago and am a member of 2 gyms:
Charter Fitness (by my house): $10/month
Quads: (on my way home from work): $50/month. I initially got a 3 month membership because they had a special for new members. There's no contract, you can pay daily, monthly, etc and the more months you buy the cheaper it is. For a year it's $600 (which equals $50/month), so I think I'm going to do that when my 3 months is up. It's a way better gym than Charter.

Family (my husband and I) $70. If we took our son it would be about $20 more per month. We are limited to gyms here in MS.

135 every three months.

So about 35 dollars monthly.

I joined under my corrpations name so got a discount. I would be paying 145 every three months.

We pay around $60 for a membership at Snap Fitness for our family. Check to see if your health insurance will cover some of the fees. Our insurance plan has an agreement with Snap that covered the enrollment fee and gives us a slight monthly discount. (Now if I could only get my husband to go to the gym...)

Been a member of several gyms and always seemed to pay $30-50 per month for a single membership. I prefer locally owned gyms to the trendy chains because they don't try to lock you into an exorbitant contract for multiple years. Also, the members seem like they actually want to work out instead of prance around and show off for each other.

That being said, I finally spent $400 on a decent weight rack/bench setup I found on craigslist. A year's worth of gym fees would more than pay for that. The only reason I didn't buy one sooner was because I was moving a lot and I didn't want to have to move a bunch of weights. It's been great - I don't have to spend 30 minutes getting dressed, driving to the gym, showering up at the gym, etc. Also, I don't have to wait for a bench to become free, and I don't have to wait on that one jerk who decides he needs to tie up four weight stations with his own personal circuit workout.

Also, I will never pass up an opportunity to bash Anytime Fitness. When I was a member it was fine, but then I moved to a town that didn't have one, and by the terms of their contract they're supposed to let you out of the contract if that happens. Instead they tried to hassle me for months, tried to say I provided insufficient documentation, tried to hit me up with some extra termination fees, blah blah blah. I knew they didn't have any justifiable legal grounds so I held my own and eventually they went away, but seriously -- screw Anytime Fitness. Also, a quick google search will show all kinds of dirty tactics that this outfit tries to use to squeeze money out of people. I think there was a location in Utah that burned down and they tried to keep charging their members.

$50 a month. I was at Anytime and that was about the same but at least was 24x7. My new gym has limited hours but unfortunately I am locked in a contract with them.

I would definitely recommend if you join a gym to find one with a contract or get free passes until you are sure you want to commit. Otherwise you get stuck and have to suffer.

I like my gym, it is nice and clean and friendly. Just don't like the limited hours so I feel like it is not worth what I pay for it.

My local world gym is 24.99 a month with a 2 year contract. free child care. classes included, and its 24 hours a day 5 days a week.

It's expensive but worth every penny to get my *kitten* kicked and keep me honest so I pay $150 for CrossFit and $42 for my local globo gym only because it has a pool and I need to swim indoors off season for triathlon training.

with money...LOL I go to a very basic one $10 a mos. Its not fancy just the machines and thats it. I plan to cancel though cause its hard to get there with my kids and been working out to videos at home.

I belong to the Y. I pay $80 a month for a family membership... It is way expensive but they have child watch so I have no excuse not to get to the gym. They also have the best staff and personal trainers who care about peoples fitness goals and help implement them. Well worth that kind of money just for the TLC alone :-)

We are also members of the local YMCA. We pay approx $100 per month for a "plus" family membership including towel service, coffee, etc. We have been members since 1986 so we are on a first name basis with numerous staff and members and are treated very well.....worth every penny considering we go 4-5 times a week.
