seeric · 08-17-2006, 08:53 AM

30 bucks a month for a really nice one.

50-80 bucks for one that has amenities like jacuzzis, steam bath, metrosexual products in the bathrooms, basketball, pools, etc. free classes.

fris · 08-17-2006, 08:53 AM

I pay $20 for all that and more. Can go to any gym in the world.

It's all a game, they're going to get you to pay as much as they can. I know people paying 35 cents a month for gym memberships. They just go unnoticed somehow.

DaddyHalbucks · 08-17-2006, 08:55 AM

I pay $50 a month for my club. It's pretty nice, but nothing too fancy.

OMG Jim · 08-17-2006, 09:01 AM

$30 a month should get you a nice membership with all the extras.

When they are trying to sell you just say "NO" at least three times and the price should drop. Also if you pay for a full year all at once you should get at least 50% off the total price. If they don't offer you at least 50% off then it's not a deal.

WebairGerard · 08-17-2006, 09:03 AM

Just signed up for $15 per month deal with Planet Fitness. That's about as cheap as I have seen. They have many locations, check them out.

Phoenix · 08-17-2006, 09:03 AM

yeah im going to pay for the full year..so they are waiving the registration fee of 249...but i have to pay for a 100 dollar fitness evaluation..lol

eh it is all worth it if i use it.

is it tax deductible? hmm

cant be getting called fat in my industry pics..lol

Vanilla DeVille · 08-17-2006, 09:07 AM

I pay 22 bucks a month at 24 hour fitness... and after one more year, it drops to 18 bucks a month.

galleryseek · 08-17-2006, 09:10 AM

i pay $33 per month. but get huge discounts if i buy per year or per 2 years.

do you live in 818? thats where i wanna find something.

i used to have a free ballys membership on the family lifetime deal. but i lost the card somewhere and i prefer those types of gyms where theres like smoothie bars and stuff in em. bathrooms with good showers and clean executive lockers.

if there are any of those in the valley i am game.

Antonio · 08-17-2006, 09:18 AM

I pay around $30 a month for the best gym in the city, but that's in Africa so I guess in doesn't really help you much ;)

sleeves · 08-17-2006, 09:22 AM

I pay $24 for one that has everything. Something I found interesting when I bought my membership was that they were willing to negotiate. When I first looked at their fee's I laughed, there was no way I was going to pay $79. Then the guy countered and said he was going to hook me up and dropped it to like $49. I stuck to my guns and got him all the way down, I had to sign a 1 year comitment but at the savings I was getting I didnt care.

I saw on the local news a while ago about gyms having no set price and the sales guys working on commsion. I've met a few people at the gym and we all have different monthly fee's for the same amount of access. Treat it like a sales call and negotiate the best possible deal.

TondaB · 08-17-2006, 09:42 AM

I have a 24 hour fitness pass. I negotiated and paid $450 for 3 years. After that it is only $30 per YEAR

My recommendation would be to pay a flat fee up front if possible. You can bargain more!

axelcat · 08-17-2006, 09:46 AM

30-40 bucks a month

Bryan G · 08-17-2006, 09:53 AM

$50/month

seeric · 08-17-2006, 10:36 AM

good info, i woulda got hosed for sure.

Phoenix · 08-17-2006, 10:38 AM

yeah im going to push for a discount harder
the registration fee is just to make you think you got a discount me thinks

Trixie · 08-17-2006, 10:41 AM

Probably depends on if you're joining a chain or not. We live in a fairly remote area and all three of the gyms in town are small indie-owned local outfits you can't really haggle with (unless maybe you're an asshole since it doesn't seem like anyone is getting rich operating them). The best one costs around $50 a month and even then it's not anything very fancy.

Wish we had a 24-hour fitness close by but then I'd probably feel guilty for not supporting one of the mom-and-pop gyms.

woj · 08-17-2006, 10:51 AM

I wouldn't pay more than $30/month, unless the place is REALLY nice...

WarChild · 08-17-2006, 10:54 AM

$55 a month in Costa Rica. And $120 a week to my personal trainer.

I'd higly recommend a personal trainer for at least the first few weeks or a month. You'd be surprised how much you can learn in term of proper movement and form, and how big a difference that makes.

OTerror · 08-17-2006, 10:55 AM

25 a month is fair

DutchTeenCash · 08-17-2006, 10:57 AM

$50 a month in holland

includes spa swimmingpool tennis free drinks fruit whatever - you can get 25 bucks gyms too but they have crappy stuff

I like the life fitness stuff they have at mine

dissipate · 08-17-2006, 11:05 AM

I get $17 a month at 24 Hour Fitness Sport. Gym/Pool/Basketball Courts/Jacuzzi/Steamroom/Classes

Libertine · 08-17-2006, 11:23 AM

$70 a month. Most members are young women though, and it has a mixed sauna, so it's worth it

reynold · 08-17-2006, 07:58 PM

I once got a gift certificate worth $50 from my friends gym. I've also used it for almost two months.
