    Gym membership $

    How much does everyone pay for a year membership? I just went to join a local gym cause I just moved to MD from NJ. Ive been working out in my house for the past 6 months, the gym i want to join is $600 per year. Does that seem expensive?

    Be careful of a gym that wants it all "up front". They may be on the verge of shutting down and are looking to get all the cash they can. One of the oldest scams there is. Any reputable gym will give you the option of monthly payments or to pay for the full year and you get a bit of a deal. If they don't give you the choice then somethings up for sure.

    I would look around for another place -- I would never pay for the whole year at once. Who knows if that gym will not go belly up in 3 months???

    exactly, who the hell actually pays to go to the gym anymore? if i had to pay i dont think id go lol

    or you can try this, just go and join, then after a few months of going there you become good friends with the people that work there... you know the managers and sales and desk people. after a few more months cancel your memebership and just walk in all the time and dont let them scan ya. since they know you and are used to you coming in they wont even think about scanning your card. if you ever get caught just play dumb, most likely they wont care at all. oh yeah, this will only work at a corporate type gym where the people that work there dont care about the company at all.

    $99 a year for 24 hour.

    With a price that low, I just keep it on hand for late hours, or travelling. Usually I go to World Gym 15.95 a month.

    I joined both when they first opened - you can get some great deals that way.

    $20 per year at 24 Hour Fitness. Of Course I paid 799$ for 3 years, but every year after that its just a $20 renewal for the entire year. If you ever go to 24 Hour Fitness for a gym membership, go towards the end of the month and find out when their closeout is. I used to work their in sales, and sometimes they have crazy deals like the one I bought.

    That's f*cked-up cheap. That is 1.67 a month.

    I paid the same for 3 years, but I pay 99 a year now, and that is still NOTHING

    In the past year, I've put about $3500 into my gym in my basement. I also train 1-2 days a week at a gym not far from my house, it costs me $99 per year if I enroll in December of every year. My wife pays around $375/yr for a family membership to a nicer facility. That price includes aerobics and all the jackass training advice you can stomach.

    We used to have all kinds of crazy specials when I worked at 24 Hour, and its funny cuz at the end of the month when the district realizes they need as much money as possible to get bonuses and **** they lower the sh!t out of the prices. I knew I didnt want to work there to much longer so I forked out and bought that membership when the price was low, and got paid commision off of it.
