How much do you pay for a gym membership?

$36 - Its 24hrs and I can go to any location. Both are very important for me.

Thankfully, my workplace has a Healthy Lifestyles program and part of that commitment on the company's part is to provide a gym and showers. It's not a great gym, but the showers are what I use the most since I bicycle in to work frequently.

This is WONDERFUL. I love it when I work someplace that has exercise facilities and showers. I wish everyone did this!

£13 a month.

We go to the YMCA and it is $76 a month for our family membership. There was also a one time joiner fee of $100.

I bribe with a steeped tea and a smile. long live pir8rav!

$20 bucks Planet Fitness. I love my gym!! I can work out all over on any machine or use any weights. Also get to tan and Red Light Therapy. My Gatorade and water is half off and I get weekly specials on any products they sell.

$10/month at Aspen Fitness which is clean and has the necessities and includes free childcare and tanning, neither of which I use. It doesn't have pools, tracks, saunas or anything fancy that a large gym would have.

As soon as summer ends, I'm switching to the brand new YMCA in town that is $42/mo but my work will pay half.

David Lloyd - £75 per month for me, the same for my husband and £27.50 each for the kids - The kids and I love it and use the gym , pools and classes. My husband had a £300 swim last week

It really does look a lot cheaper over the pond

I pay $20 a month at my gym! That's for unlimited classes & it cost me nothing to join! I also pay $140 a month for personal training though, which is totally optional but it's helped me LOADS! Only join if you know you'll stay committed! I haven't missed a week since I joined last October

Planet Fitness has a special rate for black people? And is it more or less than the normal membership?

Seriously, $30-50 is the normal (U.S.) rate for standard gyms. The high end clubs will triple or quadruple that. I had to talk my workout partner out of joining the Equinox they opened up down the street this spring. $150 a month, and they don't have a pool or basketball court. To go the the big Equinox in West LA is $225 per month because of the pool and BBall court. That's crazytime.

I've been a Bally's member for over 15 years now. It'll probably change now they they sold to LA Fitness, but for the past few years I've been paying $100 per year. I've joined other gyms but still kept that membership up just out of principle.

Planet Fitness black card allows the member to bring a guest.

I had Bally's for many years as well. I do believe when I joined it was Fitness Plus or something & Bally's bought them out. For years I paid less than $100. But was a member of LA Fitness and at least one other gym, as well. I always thought high end gyms were a waste. However if you take specialty classes and pay per class they add up.

But in response to your statement in regards to the "Big Equinox in WLA" - it's not $225 for the pool & the basketball court. It's the old Sports Club/LA. You're paying for the location, the best teachers and all the other amenities. It's expensive any way you look @ it. But it's a greater expense if you don't use it. That goes for anything you pay for. So from $10-300 it will add up if it's not used.

As for home gyms - the average person isn't self motivated and the equipment goes unused.
