How much is your gym membership?
« on: Today at 11:11:17 AM »
I saw a fee schedule online today for another gym and had to do a double take.  My gym membership is about $11/month with an annual fee of $65. If my gym was $60/month I would not be training there.  You?

I like the idea of a lifetime membership but something about that does not seem practical.  What if you need to move away or the gym goes downhill in quality or closes?

I don’t join individual gyms anymore. I guess technically I do, but I don’t buy memberships. I use this instead. Ends up being $500 a year

$28 bucks plus $20 for day care
But I'm a member of something called Active & Fit Direct through my bank USAA. With it you pay $28 per month and be able to go to any gym that participates. So while I go to EOS, I can go to about 10-12 other gyms in my area. Corporate gyms like LA Fitness. There's YMCAs and small gyms as well. Great deal.

I had a lifetime membership over 40 years ago.

Seems like I paid around $250 initially and then a yearly renewal of $75.

I kept it for about 15 years until moving about 350 miles away.

As I recall a monthly rate was around $40.

This was a local gym.  I bought the lifetime when the owner had only been in business for a year or so.

He is still going as is well-known in the gym business and bodybuilding.  A very solid guy.

If I still lived there I'd still be a member.

I haven't joined a gym since I moved in the mid 90s.  Train at home.

$11 a month ($15 with the annual) is unbelievably cheap.

free, when you're old you get the golden ticket. I have memberships to gold's [all 3 locations have now closed in my area] and the local gym, but I choose to train at home.
