NWFlyer 2 #2 March 23, 2005 $35. My gym's pretty low-frills but has everything I need, tons of classes, is 6 blocks from my house, and is open late enough that it works with my schedule."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Girlfalldown 0 #4 March 23, 2005 $25 a month to go to any 24 HR Fitness anywhere, anytime. It's not the greatest gym but it's very convenient and the ones in SF are nice. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tigra 0 #8 March 23, 2005 I've got a Bally's membership that cost a small fortune when I joined- that was almost 15 years ago. I paid up front for a 3 year membership (3K give or take) and didn't read the fine print on the contract- what they quoted as an ANNUAL renewal fee was actually monthly. It was a ripoff, but now I only pay about $100.00 a year and I can go to any club in the area. I feel sort of locked into it because I've already paid so much for it and now its cheap but there are much better gyms out there. Even the local Y has better facilities than the Bally's closest to my house! Do read the fine print of any contracts or agreements you sign and think carefully before making any long term commitments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weegegirl 2 #9 March 23, 2005 $74/month. But it's really nice... classy and clean. And I'm in the city. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine 2 #10 March 23, 2005 I've called a few places close to where i live and the average is around $45/mo and $75ish sign up fee. I wish we had a 24hr place here. Ugh. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a perk, along with food. Isn't that a swell student benefit??? I think so. Peace~ linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

tigra 0 #14 March 23, 2005 What about a YMCA? (or YWCA?) You might be surprised by their facilities- I know I was. And they won't try to manipulate you into signing a long term contract either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine 2 #15 March 23, 2005 Our YMCA moved to the other side of the city and it's pretty far away now. Plus they said the membership isn't good for other YMCAs anymore. I'll just keep calling places and set up some tours for next week. I guess i need to suck it up and pay whatever it costs for a nice facility. Gold's Gym is $46/mo with $100 sign up fee, but it's super duper close to home. I'm checking it out next week, but i'm kinda hoping to find something cheaper. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

NWFlyer 2 #16 March 23, 2005 Quotebut it's super duper close to home Convenience is key. I know I don't need ANY other excuses to not go to the gym! The fact that my gym is 6 blocks from my house makes it really hard to argue with myself that it's too much effort to get there! Be sure to ask about deals - you never know when they'll offer you one."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

sunshine 2 #17 March 23, 2005 The convenience factor is very appealing to me. Right now i pay $29/mo to Curves, but the hours suck. With my new work hours i can hardly ever get to Curves to work out. Paying an extra $17/mo is doable, especially for a pool. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
