Do you think $43.00 a month is too much
« on: December 05, 2008, 11:56:27 PM »
I trained at metroflex for a few months but $43.00 a month seems a little high to me.  So I went back to my old gym even though it was all the way on the other side of Dallas because the owner only charges me $20.00 a year.

I really think there are more factors at play than just a monthly rate.  Hours and who else will be working out at said gym are very important to me.

I agree they are both open almost the same hours.  I train by myself at both places most of the time

Amazing rates, 20.00$ year, you lucky guys in states.

Here I pay 350€ special year offer, if you pay monthly will be around 60€.

And no way gym like yours.

Where are you at?

No but the owner is a real nice guy.   I'm sure he gives a few of the guys who have been there for a while the same deal.  It's a small place , sorta like Metroflex.

That's pretty cool. I envy you; here in San Diego, the corp. have taken over; LA Fitness, 24hrs... not more mom and pops gyms :(

I wish thought, I like these smaller places and bring in good energy when I'm around.

$43 is a lot for anything in tx.  metro looks hardcore but run down. must be the ronnie factor. 

worst - 24fit, it's just nothing good to say about weight training...just all club membership through usa...so if you move around, there is somewhere to workout

best - betterbodies, they keep the fitness club theme but put some money and space 5000sqft> into free weight area and separate it from the children stuff.

2nd best - world's gym, it's a good setup if it is small... but watch for the owner. i paid off the last 4 mths of a membership i had...just to get rid of the b###h that ran the one i got suckered into.

3rd best - home gym, had a nice $1200 setup with about 600lbs free awhile back. it's easy to keep a 3on/2off type schedule  w/out messing w/other parts of your life.

do 3 days a week at 24fit. will have to do.  $33 all club.  other stuff is at least a 40 min commute now to and from.

As long as gas prices stay reasonable, it probably isn't a bad idea to stick with the old gym.  I suppose the Dallas traffic is the worst part of the puzzle.

i paid $60 a month for Lifetime Fitness.  It was nice and there was no blacks.

But I stopped working out and upped my Doritos dosage.
