How much do you pay for a gym membership?

I live in an apartment building and in the basement there is a Olympic sized indoor pool, sauna and the best part - a gym!
I paid a one time fee of 25 dollars to be able to use it.

I am lucky and do not have to pay for the fitness center or pool at work. I work for a college and use of the equipment and pool is free. If I want to get personal training or do classes I would have to pay though...I do weights and strength training there and come home and either Dance (50 min between the Wii and X-box) or use my elliptical for Cardio!

Years ago I was a member at LA Fitness and loved it! $35 a month but I paid another $55 a month for a trainer twice a week! I have since moved and there isn't much around me. Glad I work where I do!

My gym is connected with a local hospital and feels a bit like a country club... indoor tennis courts, basketball, warm pool and lap pool, cardio, weights, classes, pilates reformer, etc. Kids actually have their own fitness classes for 6-12 year olds... 2 kids, 1 teen, 2 adults, 1 neighbor kid, total of 155.00 per month. : ) But it is awesome! Towel service, deodorant, shampoo, hair dryers, etc. Great place!

tuition at Baylor. so a lot! lol

I pay $65./mo but it's in a marina on the water. I have lots of free classes to choose from including Aquarobics, Zumba, Yoga, Pilates, spin, plus indoor and heated outdoor pools, sauna, hot tub, and steam room. That includes a 10% discount on all services in the spa and on meals/drinks at the club. It's a luxury I can't live without and worth every cent and then some ;-) It also has a great gym and personal trainer sessions monthly and a nutritionist who will meet with me one on one periodically.

NOTHING...ONE of the advantages of being a senior citizen with medicare..."Silver Sneakers" costs nothing and I can use most of the things like exercise equipment, weight machines, swimming and many of the classes.

I go to Steve Nash Fitness World in Vancouver, Canada. I pay 18 dollars per month. I have been a member for over 15 years. I am a satisfied client. Includes a lot of classes (not all, such as zumba and cycling, which is why I haven't done them). Good cardio equipment and weights. Parking is an issue. I also like it's a chain and I can use most locations in my area (except for the fancy schmancy gyms, which would involve a far higher membership fee). Sometimes, when I'm in Downtown and I really need to go to the washroom, I just go to one of the gym locations.

I pay about 45.00 a month at the Y. This includes me my husband and my son. I do get a discount though. Its regularly about 80 for a family membership. It is so worth it if you have children. There are so many things for my 7 year son to do. He loves going and all the staff knows him by name and makes him feel special. They have affordable sports for children like karate. They also do things like parents night out once a month from 6-10:30 free for members. So my husband and i catch a movie and dinner. Its more than just a gym, they really help promote a healthy lifestyle.

My gym is Xperience Fitness...they took over a lot of the Gold's Gyms. I pay $10 a month....it would be $20 if you want all of the classes....very nice place with good equipment.

We use Platinum Fitness (formally Golds Gym) here in Tucson Az. Fees range from $10-$50 per month. (We have a $20 membership). Child care is $11? or 12 for unlimited use all month.

Love my gym!

24 Hour Fitness 2 year prepaid membership for $299.

I think it now costs $349 - still a good deal, as you'd pay at least twice that if you just walked in to the gym.

Do they do this all the time, or is it just a special right now?
We have one in town and Ive been thinking of joining to get some help.

Freedom Fitness
$10 a month + ($35 a year membership)

No classes, very clean. But as it became more popular machines are not working properly!

I was paying $42.51 a month for an Anytime Fitness membership but my contract ended this month and I was really unhappy there so I left. I checked out another local gym and their "deal" rate was $49ish with an enrollment fee or about $41 if you pay for a year all up front. They didn't have all the amenities I wanted and the staff was rude...

There aren't much choices around where I live and all of them seem to be at least $40-$50 bucks. The premium club in town is like $96 a month.

I have two gym memberships.

One is for Fitness First. I paid $50 to join, it cost me $25 a month and I have a one year minimum commitment. They have a TON of cardio and weight classes, plus child care. The hours are 5am until either 10/11pm and the weekend is a little shorter. The drive is about ten minutes from me. Personal training is extremely expensive. It's a little over $100 a month, and that is for three 30 minute training.They have a point system that you receive points for referring people, for each purchase and for just going to work out. You can trade in your points for merchandise (Club wear, HRM, etc) or free months of membership. Also upon sign up, I received a punch card for child care. It was worth 25 "punches" and each punch is one hour.

I also have a membership to Planet Fitness. This gym had NO sign up, I pay a flat $10 a month, and I have NO commitment. They do not offer child care, nor do they have classes. They do offer personal training for free. It is not one on one, a trainer may have a small group (never more than five) and there are 5-10 slots per day. This gym is only five minutes from my house, and three minutes from my work, so it's slightly more convenient.

The staff at Planet Fitness is much more laid back than the staff at Fitness First. At Fitness First, I emailed a personal trainer a question about macros regarding when I do certain work outs (I was asking what my ratio should be on days I do 60 minutes of cardio versus days I do 30 minutes, plus 30 minutes+ of weights) he replied telling me that he had to be careful not to give paid services out for free, but I was welcome to email him questions. Because this was via email, I asked if it was alright that I asked him his advice for that question, or if I had to pay for advice, and he never replied. (It's been two months) The only reason I am still at Fitness First is because I had enough points for six months of free membership, so I am letting that run it's course and than cancel after my one year.

My husband & I each have a membership at LA Fitness. It's $30 a month for each of us, so there's $60 right there. I have my daughter, niece & nephew enrolled in the kids club program that's $10 per kid, so another $30 a month. Plus, I have my training package. That's another $112. So I'm at almost $200 per month for gym memberships & that doesn't even count the amount of money it cost us to start it all up. For me, it's been worth the money.

why not just buy some equipment? it'd be sooo much cheaper! Just a thought
