Gym Membership Fees, how much do you pay?

[Jay]

Ive not been back to the gym in 3/4 months now and my plan to begin kettlebell training fell flat on its face.

So Im looking at joining a gym near to work so that I can go on my lunch breaks. Only thing is, all of the gyms near enough are £35 plus a month and that's for off peak. Just wanted to see what other people are paying at their gyms currently and what you get for that?

[Sean]

£32 a month anytime access and access to all the classes etc. i have some corporate rate or some discount i just said im not paying the £60 a month what will give me a discount he said if your work in the forces i was like ye sure i do that he said no worries il say iv seen your paperwork and just stuck it through even his manager walked in and she said are you doing a dodgy deal she laughed and walked out >>>

[wud]

£75 for the whole year at uni, though its busy if you go after 4 and the free weights room is always full of people so it can make keeping to a schedule difficult

£20 a month when im back home, thats with free personal training and classes aswell

[Rambo]

free gym at base, 5 pound every time i go temple

[wm7]

59.95 for peak usage, all the classes, swimming, sauna and steam rooms, and also multi centre usage.

i hardly use it though :S

Personal trainers wet dream right there.

Just found out a Pure Gym's opening in West Brom in May. £10.99, but I would expect it to be full of scum.

Just down the road is Doug Ellis Sports Centre, i was considering joining cos it's full of Uni bishes i did notice quite alot of skinny asians in there too though :sad: that's £25 a month iirc, they only had one bench when i last went

I am moving down lo London from Japan around May, so looking for a gym. Any recommendations for a hardcore gym? Probably moving to North or East London.

Any advice is appreciated.

Every gym I have used in the North East of England lets you pay as you go. Must be a North East thing.

[C.]

work in a gym so dont pay

[slu-wasteguy]

Lol I don't get why people go to them fucked up hood gyms own by an ex boxer or ex weight lifter and they pay like 40+ a month where as they could just go with a membership with the local leisure centre which is cheaper and has more facilities.

[Tommy]

I pay 25 a month for my gym. Got everything I need, as well as guys who've competed at a high level for assistance and advice. Not that I'd pay extra for that obviously, but it's good to have there.

weight lifting gyms have better weight lifting equipment

leisure centre is more of a fitness place

it depends on your goals surely

[Christophe Dugarry]

my mates pay 40/50 quid at a bannatynes gym.

i'm going to join one soon that's £20 a month.

[CatchACat]

£25 a month. 'Student' deal. Well Im not really a proper student.

Anyways, I get Gym and Swimming pool. Any time 0700-2200, brand new places too so its got decent kit. Bare machines what i aint never seen in my life time. Also get all the classes.

Also get a personal trainer style thing, sorta. They do a fitness plan with u, then do 1 personal trainer style session. Then u get 2 personal trainer sessions a month.

Plus its like 2 minutes down the road.


Got a gym group gym opening soon, only £16 a month, 24hrs too. Tempted to join but the locations shit for parking.

[Rambo]

i looked into opening my own gym, but i can't see the money in it tbh

Dont think it would be profitable tbh. Unless you get loads of people like wm7 paying £60 a month and not using it, your not going to make money considering the amount it would cost for equipment, rent, wages, advertising, etc.

This, goto Virgin gyms and youre sharing 10 dumbells with 30 guys its fucking stupid lol. I used to goto a gym years ago owned by an ex bodybuilder who used to do competitions etc. and it was sick, it was like 3 gyms in one. One building was a cardio area with the treadmills etc. the other building was a fitness area with the machines and light weights and the other building was the free weights and heavy machines so you had room to do whatever you want wthout waiting.

80p a day or 2.25 a week

EDIT: from the pictures looks like there's gonna be a large emphasis on rowing machines & treadmills aswell

EDIT 2: 7.50 a month

done a little business model with my mate who works at Barclays, it would be VERY hard to make good money, there is only money in chains tbh

[Mercury]

make it more than a gym mate make it a leisure centre, football/basketball etc in another room = success

hopefully

fuck a leisure centre tbh

but with regards to football halls and that, its space, the rent/morgage goes up massively

[Mercury]

[Fläk]

this tbh. only signed up to my gym because its a chain, if it was independant i defffooo wouldnt pay 60squids.
used to go to a leisure centre, but the changing rooms stink, the saunas full of dirty old people who wanna shave and exfolliate. YUK

[Tommy]

I think if you were a well-known sportsperson and you opened a chain of gyms you could cake it.

he's saying there's money to be made for the people that own it, not for you :laugh:

[wm7]

why would i make money from going to the gym???
lol

[Mercury]

you're backing him up cause you spend £60 a month for a gym you probs only go to a couple times a week

if there was an independant gym a couple streets away that offered the same quality of services as your current one you wouldn't go there? lol

[Willy]

£2 per day, can use it more then once in that same day though

like i pay £2 in the morning, i can go for an hour in the morning and come back again during the afternoon/evening as many times as i want without having to pay again

even though it's a bit pointless because i can do everything in 1 session

i can get free membership for PureGym in Wolverhampton but it's a bit far for me and PureGym is shit

[John Travolta]

80p a day? lol are you training in your mates garage you pikey northern cunt

[slu-wasteguy]

lol £2 a day you know I wish I had that my gym is £6 a day luckily I got membership though :laugh:

[arsenal]

#15 a month

[Jay]

so sounds like £35 a month isn't all that bad if Im gonna be going 4/5 times a week.

Should be moved out in the next month so will know how much spare money i have to play with and can afford to spend on gym.

[Rambo]

[Jay]
