If you belong to a gym, how much is it per month?

NaturalBeauty · April 2012

I belong to Equinox (which I know is more expensive than a lot). They just raised the rates from 125/month to 155/month. I just want to hear how crazy 155 is. Anyone else paying that much?

ebeth_msn · April 2012

that's insanity.

I pay $30/month. my gym doesn't have free towels or a pool, but it suits my purposes.

statwaldy · April 2012

I just switched to a gym that I am now paying $42 a month, I was paying $33 at my other. There is a gym near me that I believe the fees are around $100/mo but it is super nice. IMO, $155 is pretty steep but are there any perks you can think of that it has in comparison to your standard gym?

Brit's Luna154 · April 2012

That's an awful lot. My gym is $35/month. The 'fancy' gym in my town is $65/month and it is really nice.

leslie14 · April 2012

I pay the intro rate of $40 a month and the regular rate is $65. My gym has a pool. I would not pay that much.

robinsokj · April 2012

$50 a moth and that includes unlimited childcare for the two tots

Brie2010 · April 2012

I pay $58/month for my CrossFit box.

Julia-Henry · April 2012

we have a family YMCA membership for 4 people, $67/month. The "fancy" place in town is $68/individual, $120/family. My brother pays $30/month for Snap Fitness here.

dmblack · April 2012

That's crazy. I belong to LA Fitness and pay $37 a month. After the $20 insurance discount I pay $17. Not bad at all.

shorty20 · April 2012

That's crazy, but I live in a pretty rural area, so I can understand that Philly prices would be much more than mine.

I pay about $30/month.

Mominator · April 2012

I've never heard of Equinox, what makes it so expensive?

I have two gym memberships (don't judge). The first is actually a gym in my office building, it's small, but has a lot to offer. I pay $15 every two weeks via payroll deduction.

I also belong to my local Y. I pay $57/mth for a family membership, so myself, my son and my SO can all work out there under that membership. I'm also able to take my little kids to pool and get discounts on different programs that are available.

So, I pay around $90 per month for both memberships, but I feel like I get a lot for my money.

trigal · April 2012

DH and I belong to our YMCA, which has a pool and a huge fitness center. There are a few other branches we can also use which has smaller fitness centers. We pay the family rate of $71/month.

NaturalBeauty · April 2012

Equinox has a lot of classes that are supposed to be top notch. I think that adds to the high rate, but I don't do the classes that often. It is a gorgeous gym and does offer the towel service, etc.

Thanks everyone!

daisysle · April 2012

I pay $43 per month for the family. It's our local YMCA. They offer free exercise classes, child care, pool, etc...

taratru · April 2012

That's freaking insane.

I pay $50/month for me and DH. That includes a pool. We could pay $60 and have childcare, but I'm too cheap.

pennypie07 · April 2012

Our previous gym membership was $50. (Nice gym, offered CrossFit for more $, classes, towel service, etc.).

Our current gym is $10/mo. (Planet Fitness, so no frills...but 1mi from our house and I wasn't using the classes at the other one.)

LesPaul · April 2012

YMCA for the whole family is $81 per month, but I get a wellness subsidy at work of $25, so a net $56 for unlimited visits at all locations.

CaelenEsq · April 2012

$10/month, no frills: no pool or classes

MrsLokiAngel · April 2012

$45/month, before 'discount' (we get a % off every year for lbs lost!). Gym has no towels, but it does have a pool and indoor water park, plus a climbing wall, track (indoor) and multiple gym areas. It's a bit pricey, but we use it enough. Classes are extra but not much.

My gym at work is $30/month, but has towels and a sauna, no pool however. Classes are included.

OSULori · April 2012

ACK! I pay $30 ($32 with tax?) for full use of equipment, track, basketball/racquetball courts, pool/hot tub, sauna/locker room, and all group fitness classes (except for Pilates reformer). Use of the tanning beds or child care gets an upcharge on your montly bill. The ability to go to any location in town is supposed to be an upcharge too, but they never charge me or say anything about it when I use a location other than my "home" gym (which isn't often anymore but used to be)

MelMarDC · April 2012

I pay $40/month in DC (which is actually pretty cheap for DC gym rates, but I don't belong to one of the swankier ones). I also have a free gym at work that I can use.

misskrysbaby · April 2012

I pay $12 a month, for Planet Fitness. It's two minutes from my house and I only use it for a treadmill so it suits my needs. $155 is kind of crazy IMO.

+Elle+ · April 2012

I'm at Equinox Century City in LA and pay $240. So $155 sounds pretty reasonable.

JoNi2010 · April 2012

I actually belong to a rock-climbing gym and it's $100 for both me and DH. Other than rock-climbing and boulering, it also has a decent size weight room and cardio machines and yoga classes.

Sadlebred · April 2012

Gym #1: Full service gym w/lots of fun group classes including my favorite, Walk-Away. No pool or towel service (Towel service is an extra charge). They also have a really good healthy deli/smoothie shop onsite. Free b/c they sponsor my cycling team and gave us a few free memberships.

Gym #2: About-to-be-opened small new fitness center at work. Free to all employees. Basic cardio equipment and weights. No classes* and no frills. (*Once every 6-8 weeks they offer 2-3 Zumba classes in our main conference room after work. These are free.)

Riding my bike outside/Riding my trainer inside: Free, Cost of bikes: uh, too much.

The price seemed normal to me for Equinox.

We keep getting invites for the new Marina del Rey location. Their rates are $145/ month + $125 initiation fee, or $225/month + $300 initiation fee for multi-club.

I pay $120/ month for CrossFit with my teacher discount.

kimsy · April 2012

$35, classes and towel service included.

kmartini1021 · April 2012

I pay $117 a month for my CrossFit membership. I think of it as having 12 personal trainer sessions a month and it makes the price tag a lot more bearable. That's a pretty inexpensive personal trainer.

doglove · April 2012

We pay $80 a month for both FI and I to go. Our gym has machines, classes, pool, etc. Paying for personal training is separate.

moshi's paw · April 2012

Free*

*With our taxpayer money at our awesome local town Rec Center

abvernon · April 2012

eek!

I pay $32/month for my local Y.

I used to pay $180/mo for an outdoor boot camp class...5x a week and you get a tshirt at the end of each month. It was great for a while, but they increased their prices last year and did away with the tshirts so I quit. My wallet thanked me.
