Gym Prices

**redrumkev** · 02-03-2003, 10:44 PM

Was wondering what everyone spends on gyms a month, and how many different gyms you visit. I go to 3. The city gym - I get for free cuz I work for the city.
Powerhouse $24/mo for life.
And well the 3rd I start next month - Lifetime fitness is opening - and it is $50 a month - open 24 hours and unlimited racquette ball - great for cardio - and the women - DAMN!

**redrumkev** · 02-03-2003, 10:53 PM

Btw - I rotate the gyms and spend the money because it breaks the cycle. I hate going and seeing the same people and waiting for the same things. Each gym seems to have different peak times, so I know when to hit each for "off peak" times. But most of all - I like to rotate the equipment. For instance the machine preacher curls seem to hit the bi's at a slightly different angle in each gym as they are different brand machines. Powerhouse has the best leg stuff around - the city has great free weights - 70% i use free weights, and lifetime has the cardio like crazy - about 20 different ways to do it - so bordom is low and nice clean pools - 3 of them ( i know cuz I had a trial at a lifetime located about 20 miles away).

$45 a month to World's Gym here in N.B., only 1 gym.....can't afford anymore.LOL

**majorpecs** · 02-04-2003, 08:08 AM

$55 a month for an All Club Membership to 24 hour fitness....there is 1 main one that I work out at, but there are several others around town I hit. It's also great to have this membership when you go out of town.....

**Wake Chick** · 02-04-2003, 11:59 AM

My gym is $60 for the 1st member, and $21 for every additional member of the household. AND they are only open from 6-10, the hours suck!!

***BIG TEXAN*** · 02-04-2003, 12:04 PM

New Braunfels, You lucky!! I am going to be there so much this summer, at the Wakeboarding Cable Park... It's sweet, have you checked it out yet?

***BIG TEXAN*** · 02-07-2003, 01:11 PM

Wake Chick- sad to say I haven't.....I'm a typical river rat! I might if I have a chance though. Summer time I can be found on tube floating on the river....

**PHATCAT** · 02-10-2003, 07:43 PM

**calidude** · 02-21-2003, 11:47 PM

**Wrathchild** · 02-22-2003, 05:03 AM

Las Vegas Athletic Club, 20 a month, and for 30 you get unlimited raquetball, there are 4 locations in town, and they will open two more soon, you can go to any location, 2 of them are open 24/7 including all holidays.

**Chach** · 02-28-2003, 07:07 AM

yeah i pay about $150 a year, but i want to change my gym and lift with the big boys at GOLDS GYM.....

**redrumkev** · 03-02-2003, 09:16 PM

well I guess most pay between $16 and $50 a month. Thanks for all those that posted.

I workout at the university gym, so it is free. However, over the summer me and my friend will be working at Fitness West, which seems like a cool gym, cuz it's like a hardcore gym with plenty of REAL weights!

They charge $35 bux a month, but the gym seems good. They are open from 5am until midnight. We took a quick tour of the place, it's like one HUGE gymnasium, with all the free weights on the right side, and machines on the left side. There are like 5 flat benches, 3-4 incines, two cables machines, TONS of dumbells, looks like a great place.

**candog22** · 03-08-2003, 03:41 PM

$19 a month - a huge gym and its kept up well - locker rooms suck, but for 19 a month - cant complain

**Terinox** · 03-08-2003, 03:57 PM

I should also mention, that is $35 CANADIAN!!!

Divide by 1.5 for American price, which would be $23 U.S. dollars.

**Short_Guy** · 03-17-2003, 08:50 AM

All Club 24 Hour Fitness for $39.95/month.

The only negative is that the closest one isn't actually open 24 hours on Saturday/Sunday :P

**popa** · 03-28-2003, 08:51 AM

i pay 19.99 a month, 24h

**keithq1122** · 03-28-2003, 08:59 AM

ALL CLUB 24 HOUR $25 MONTH AND YMCA FOR FREE

How come the YMCA is free?

**palme** · 03-28-2003, 02:18 PM

They raised prices at my gym on March 1st from $21/month to $23/month. Bastards

**Tock** · 03-28-2003, 06:49 PM

I'm paying $378 a year, $31.50 a month.
I really like the place . . . you walk in and they hand you a freshly laundered towel, no need to bring your own. They've got a pretty complete set of Icarian machines and another set of some other brand (I don't recall the name right off), and a full set of free weights, dumbells going up to 120 lbs. Never a line, it gets busy around 4-6 pm but never really crowded. Open 365 days a year (even Xmas day) and 24 hours a day. The place never closes. Pretty cool.

**mass junkie** · 09-22-2003, 10:42 PM

300 down and 26 a month for life.....with the ability to freeze the account if the need should arise

**eshestun** · 09-23-2003, 06:43 PM

50-60 bucks, man you guys pay a lot. 25 bucks for 24h all locations and sports.

**Gear** · 09-29-2003, 07:28 AM

$49AU$ p/month for me

**Bigboy123** · 12-12-2003, 11:20 PM

I belong to two gyms. My premier gym is 41$ a month... My other gym was 99 for 3 months...

**Danielle** · 12-13-2003, 11:54 AM

$350 - 1 year........not too bad for around here.......but i know its going to be too overcrowded in the new year so i may join a Gold's for like 3 months druing the winter also...........

**wannagrow** · 12-14-2003, 04:13 PM

I used to go for free, because the guy who owned the gym, was an engineer at the mine i work at. new owner now, so i'll have to start paying.

The gym technically open 24/7 because everyone in town works on a 6 day on/ 6 day off roster, working 3 12 hr day shifts, then 3 night shifts then 6 off. so they need it to be open at night.

I'm not sure how much its gonna start costing, but chances are the new owner will work with me too, i might have to make friends with him too

**beenie** · 12-18-2003, 08:31 PM

Guess its cheaper elsewhere. I pay $139/mo for the Equinox. Its worth it because the have all the latest equipment and a great atmosphere so my workouts are good. Just the same with the exception of the 19th St gym thats $85 a month, I cant think of any of the chains here that are under $100/mo. NYSC is $109, Crunch is $129, NY Health and Raquetteball is $139, Chelsea Piers is $139. I wouldn't go to Bally's because they suck, and Synergy sucks.

I was wondering Terinox, where the decent gyms are in Toronto. I was traveling for buisness and when I do I stopped even trying at the hotel gyms, so I always seek out a decent real gym. The best I could find was the Ballys off of Younge Street near Eatons. I think that they only charged me $15CN , which is okay for a daily rate, but honestly it was pretty lame. What struck me was that there seemed to be far fewer gyms per square mile in Toronto than most places I travel. Was it just my imagination, or what?

**KeyMastur** · 12-20-2003, 09:43 PM

24 HR has the 600 or 800 for 3 years, then every year after that is 99 bucks.

**Rod Farva** · 01-02-2004, 04:40 PM

World Gym is the cheapest one in my area (except maybe Bally's which I won't even consider). It's $55/mo for the first member and $50/mo for the next. Some of the places around here with pool/raquetball cost well over $100/mo. Ahhh...it's always great being broke in Westchester!

LM1332 · 01-02-2004, 06:37 PM

Gold gym $50 or $500 for a year depends what you want i choose $50

**Lord Humungous** · 01-02-2004, 09:00 PM

I train for free at my local gym. It's good to be da king
