$14 is pretty steep. My gym is like $10 for a single pass. There are some chaep gyms in Aus that are pretty well equipped. Just a matter of doing a bit of looking around. I pay what i do because it is probably the best gym where i live, and all the other ones are even more in price, yet appeal to the "young, stay at home mums". i.e more like health spas, as opposed to a gym.
The place I stepped into was strictly a suburban setup. Aerobics area, cardio machines fully stocked with obese housewives wearing 'workout outfits' (props for being there tho, I guess), awful weights area full of teenagers. I'm sure there's some better ones around but I've got everything I need at home.
I should have given her the Axel Foley treatment. "$14?! I can get fucking blown for $14!"
