I pay £27 at the local Council gym. Paint is peeling off the walls but all the equipment was replaced earlier in the year, so its a bargin. Not many fit birds though as they all go to the shwanky Banintineneneenenenesssssnensnsns type gyms

At the moment I pay nothing! that is soon to change though.

Can you put a price on your fitness? Surely the cost is an incentive if anything to get to the gym.

I'm convinced that gyms make their money on people not actually going. The amount of people I see year-in year-out that join in Jan or June who you will only see a few times.

That said, I pay £42 a month for my membership which permits me to train in the City and in Chelmsford.. Happy days

I pay £32 a month for unlimited access to gym, pool,sauna, steam room and classes etc

I also get a free personal trainer* for a session a week!

*my best friend is actually said trainer and I normally work out with him once a week.

I spent nigh on £400 on gym memberships last year, I must have gone about 10 times.Complete waste of money.

This year ive made a concerted effort to go, weights down the gym and running on the road, at least im getting my money's worth now.I pay £34 at Fitness First, i can pretty much use any fitness first in the country, which is usefull for me in my line of work.

I actually live 1 min away from the local leisure centre, thats a touch cheaper at £28 a month, but in all honesty its crap, just not enough gear.

I've recently joined LA Fitness for £65 for 2 months only - so basically £32.50 per month.

I had a look around for gym deals for the past 2 weeks and any deal for a London gym was at least £45 plus at least a £30 joining fee (can normally get away with not paying it though). :rolleyes:

The LA Fitness deal was a special web offer on last week, buy one month get one free. There is no contract, you pay for the two months in advance and it allows me to attend any LA Fitness across London apart from the South Kensington club. Also, there are no restrictions on when you can use the gym and I have full access to the swimming pools, spar, sauna and other facilities.
