What do you pay for your gym?

[DocRock]

I'm looking for a new gym but I hate all the costs associated in starting with one. What do you guys pay monthly? Any deals in your area? I'm in southern California and the average that every gym wants around here seems to be around $40 a month and thats just for 1 club. Thoughts?

$28/mo at 24

but ya gotta negotiate!

yes, at 24hr.

not even sure what a "super sport" is?

is that where you can go to other gyms? if so, that's what i have. not sure if it's something you pay extra for?

[sgt2jay]

$17 a month.

the down side is it is a snap fitness and lots of over weight old ladies

[DocRock]

I'm looking for lift friendly gyms without the curl bros, old people that take up equipment, nor the summer dweebs that are there seasonally. Any tips around Ventura county?

Yes. The Active centers also have the kids rooms. Only the Super Sports only have the basketball courts, steam rooms, saunas, pools, etc. There used to be "Sports" centers but now they've all converted to Super Sports. The Ultimates have in door running tracks, rock climbing walls, and massage services.

massage services? who does the rubbbing?

anyways, we don't have the bolded items, so that means the super sport after all.

$56 at the YMCA (surprisingly great lifting section here in Vancouver BC) and $149 at an MMA training place.

[travaldavas_taz]

36 a month.. 24/7 and i got it cheap cuz i showed my id from school

[ImBlue]

Holy shit... Gym prices cost alot $$$ Seriously I just lift in my alleyway (kettlebells cost a bit, but damn they last forever.. I inherit most of them from family..).. Swim at the Olympic pool ($4 a visit).. running shoes $90 (lasts for 8 months).. Those gym things, the contracts and auto deduct from your bank account..just a bit to leery for me.. then the flesh eating diseases.. yup..

[kronik420]

100/month standard, or 120 executive (thats me). we got 2 pools, sauna,spa,steam room, big a$$ gym, big free weights section, cafe, lounge, projectors everywhere, tennis courts, squash courts, badminton court, etc..

[DocRock]

I get a free gym on base but I want one that Is closer. Can't see myself paying over $30 a month though.

The gym I'm at is an old school gym. started out as a golds back in the early 80's and now is locally owned..It still has a lot of the original equipment and pics of professional bodybuilders, powerlifter, fighters, and locals that have passed through over the years. Its a pretty awesome place. Its what got me into bodybuilding.

[keep fightin]

33 bucks a month and the staff flirts with you coming and going , a nice touch..

[Simon1972]
