By MarianneI longer belong to a gym because of money problems. I belonged to Shapes which is a womens only club down here in Florida. I paid about $25.00 a month that was taken out of my bank account. I had to sign up for a 2 year membership to get that rate. The club is located in Bradenton, Florida. That was one of the reasons I let my membership run out. I have a 3 year old and it was hard to get to the gym most months. So I was paying for nothing. I do most of my exercising at home now.
I hope this helps. - Enny commented on 'How much do you pay for your gym membership?'
By Enny1) I pay $28AUD a week
2) No upfront fee
3) Canberra, Australia
4) It has a pool, two rooms for classes, free weights, circuits, lots of rowers, walkers, bikes etc and three tv's playing different channels as well as music.
5) In a way - I'd been a member before so got a good price, and she told me that the price was going up in the financial year so would be better to pay sooner rather than later :o) - Thomas (twofatbrothers.com) commented on 'How much do you pay for your gym membership?'
By Thomas (twofatbrothers.com)I don't belong to a gym. I do all of my working out at home or in the mountains in my town (I live in rural Japan).

By Sarah1) $29/ 2 weeks
2) no upfront fee
3) A city in northern ontario, canada
4) more cardio machines than I can count, 8 big screen tvs (they call it the "cardio theatre" with each cardio machine having plug ins to listen to which ever television has the most entertaining show on, sauna, spinning classes, a TON of cardio and strength classes (all choreographed by some company in austria or something) and a ton of weight machines. Super clean, spacious, etc.
5) I didn't bother to negotiate. I was so desperate to get my butt back in the gym I just said 'where do I sign?!' - Stacey commented on 'How much do you pay for your gym membership?'
By StaceyI have belonged to many gyms in the past. Only now I dont because of where I live (too far to drive to one). The last gym I belonged to was LA Fitness. I paid $35 a month for my membership and I believe there was a $100 sign-up fee (I am not sure if that amount is correct, but it was a significant amount). They initially were going to charge me $50, but I told them I wouldnt pay anything over $35 so they gave that to me. Considering I've paid more and less for my gym memberships in the past, I'd say this was a fair price.

By MarlaFavorite sexual position: reverse cowgirl.
Gym fees: Zero! My garage is free.
I once looked into joining the Y here, and it was something like $200 a month. Seriously!

By Loey1. $59 CAN/mth
2. There is usually a start up fee, but I started during a promotion when it was waived. It includes 3 sessions with a trainer to get the lay of the land, to help you assess your goals and to shamelessly shill themselves (whatev, I believe in the power of a good trainer, so I have no issue with this).
3. I live in Halifax, NS, Can
4. Part of a chain of facilities, so I can to any of them, and there are A LOT around Atlantic Canada (I believe the Y has the same policy). No pool, no towel service, but there are TV's in the cardio studios, a variety of classes, well-maintained equipment, sauna, and it's ALWAYS very clean and well managed (something that is very important to me). They also stay pretty current with regualr turn-over of equipment and new classes etc.
5. I was okay with the price, but I travel often for work, and I play for a sports team during the summer (heavy training, plus I also run outside), so I wanted the ability to freeze my account whenever and not have to pay the start-up cost (they have a once a year policy, for a max of 2 months). They agreed to let me freeze several times a year, for up to four months, and I can even freeze for half a month (during business trips) so only pay half the cost that month. I agree, you can often negotiate, but usually on one point, so choose wisely, Grasshopper. - vickie commented on 'How much do you pay for your gym membership?'

My gym membership was $19.99 per month with a front fee of $45. No pool. Very good classes which were extra - but not expensive at all - not a fancy place. This is a neighborhood gym - lots of good solid equipment, TV's everywhere that you used your radio to access sound - so it was a nice quiet place.
At the time that I belonged to the gym, I also took yoga classes (two 90 minute classes per week) at another studio for about $700 per year.
I have dropped my gym membership and the other yoga studio. I have replaced both with an unlimited yoga studio membership. Yoga, free weight, pilates classes. $35 up front fee and then I can attend as many classes as I want for $60 per month. I attend 3 free weight classes each week and a yoga class every day except Sunday. So based on a 4 week month, I am paying $1.50 per class. The pilates and free weight classes are WORK - the yoga classes are a little work but mostly piece of mind, range of motion, tone and flexibility.

By Keri-AnnHey Pasta Queen! Just discovered your site about a month ago and among all of the weight loss blogs out there, yours is by far my favorite. I love your wit and humor! You are an inspirartion!
Planet Fitness
1) $20 a month for the best plan, which means I can go to any location in the country, bring one guest each time without them having to pay, use the tanning bed for free, and get half off anything out of the drink coolers in case I'm too lazy to bring my own. This one does have a one-year contract, but I was willing to deal with that.
They also offer a $13 a month with no sign up fee and no contract, but it is only for that location and none of the other perks apply.
2) $49 (not positive), which was waived for a Sign-Up-Before-New Year's Special
3) Pompano Beach, Florida
4) Brand new facility. I don't believe there are any classes. No pool. I don't think there is a steam room or sauna. But I never use that crap anyway, so it's perfect for me. It's just cardio equip, weight machines, free weights, and a circuit training center. There are also tanning beds, because in Florida there isn't enough sun. I believe they have flat screen TVs. I honestly haven't been yet because I am recovering from chemo and a couple surgeries, but I can't wait to get started!
5) I didn't try to negotiate because I felt the deal was awesome. I do believe I heard the fellow signing up before me negotiate some kind of deal though.
Just for comparison for you, I used to belong to LA Fitness. I LOVED it, but not close enough and both locations near me were WAY too overcrowded even at 9 at night! I just canceled my membership. I signed up 3 years ago, paid $37.09 a month had a $149 sign-up fee, no contract. You know all the perks. I'm sure if I tried to sign up now it would be more expensive seeing as how three years have passed.
Sorry for the long post. Hope the info helped!
