So after reading all of you guys hitting the gym yesterday, I inquired about a membership by my job. It's $149 down, and $49 a month. This sounds like a lot. So curious what are you guys paying and are you new members or old members, as I know the newer you are the more you tend to pay.

thats ALOT! I signed up at lucille roberts with 2 other girlfriends and we paid $21/month for a 2 year term... that was 2 years ago. They always run specials though.. lucille seems to be one of the most reasonable gyms out there... ballys was alot, nysc was ALOT, curves was alot... I dont know how much private gyms go for though... but 150 down and 50/month is EXPENSIVE, dont do it!

Yup i have to agree.. I paid 350 for a 1 year gym membership ( paid in advance and they didnt bug me) and they gave me a year free... and then I renewed the 1 year and they gave me 18months free... it averaged out 11 bucks a month.. how could u go wrong?!

girl jump on it! I have a premier membership at Ballys and I am paying more than 80 bucks per month!

Don't worry - it will go, the longer you are a member.

I joined 2 1/2 years ago during a promotional thing and was paying $69 a month, my last renewal was dropped down to $31 a month.

I joined Bally's in '98, and now pay $140 a year. I actually only use them now when I'm visiting my parents or FH's parents, but for ~$12 a month I figure it's worth keeping for the future if I move closer to a Bally's. Right now I go to a local gym that's $700 a year! It kills me, but it's one of the least expensive gyms in the area.
