I thought the YMCA was suppose to be cheap...

[Cy Tolliver]

Individual: $49.00 Per Month where I live, and a "one time joining fee" of $75.00...

I don't know how all these poor black kids manage to pay that bill...  

[Tapeworm]

Been to a few over the years and never found them to be a good value, either for the urine bath pool or gym.

That's how I remember it.  I didn't even like sitting on the benches in the locker room.  Bunch of damp old man scroats getting squished around on them all hours.

i worked at the ymca when i was in my late teens, and i know that the ones in canada have a "membership assistance program" so that those who cannot afford to pay the full rate can get a subsidized membership if they can provide evidence that they're struggling somewhat with the cost of living (by showing proof of their monthly income and expenses.)

yep, i don't understand it.

my current gym membership (to a nice place) is $22.00 a month...

because the ymca is (still) a charity, it tends to have a disproportionate number of members who are poor, and ethnic as well.  now in principle, i have no problem with poor people and ethnic folks working out in the same gym as me, but when you have people who can't afford deodorant who are also a certain ethnicity, the stench is practically unbearable.

Yep, and I even live in the Midwest.  You can get a nice 4000 sqft home here for only $275k, yet a Y membership is $90.00....

i don't care either way, but we have one of the nicer YMCA's, and I can't afford to workout there yet Julio from the projects can....

 Nothing is cheap anymore.

 Welcome to the later stages of capitalism.

[Jizzacked]

last time I was in a ymca was over 10 years ago.  a bro of mine had a membership and I went with him a couple times on a guest pass.  sounded like a good idea, being able to swim after a workout.  anyways, we walk into the locker room to change after the workout... and there are the showers all lined up.  this dude who was obviously there with his kids or whatever, he turns around and so do all 3 of his little boys full front on looking at us.  4 small ass dicks presented to us in unison, and they are just standing there looking at us.  my buddy starts cracking up and so did I after seeing his reaction.  the stoic look on their faces and just the way they acted made it like something out of the fucking gay twilight zone.

that, coupled with the old gents kicking it nude whilst reading newspapers was more than enough for me.  I haven't been back since  

[~UN_$ung~]

It depends on the YMCA branch;  The downtown Houston YMCA was great.  Machines and a freeweight room with so much mass it has an event horizon...The pool was superb and an old fashion steam room with no perverts.  They would provide freshly laundered workout clothes for the members...Having a uniform of sorts such as this made it a very civilized place to work out...

mine was $39 monthly..

Del Boca Vista?

hahaha, no but there are a ton of old jews everywhere.  One even got pissed when I bought my dad a cadillac

buy a multi angle heavy duty bench, 2 heavy duty adjustable dumbbells, lots of thin pro style weight plates and you'll never need another gym membership again.

a few hundred in the short term saves you thousand long term  plus no old mens balls to look at, no shit music, no waiting on bench etc.

you could also add a safety cage and barbell to that list if you had the space.
