Cost of gyms

I have 35 lbs to lose before my husband gets home and I need to get in gear. I found a gym a few minutes from my house. It's 35 a month. Is that good? It offers the classes I want at the times I can make it to. My old gym was a military gym that I didn't have to pay for so I have no idea what gyms cost.

You figure if you go 3x per week, it would cost less than $3 per visit. I would say that would be a good deal.

Good way to look at it! That's not bad at all! Thanks for pointing that out!

My gym is $15 a month with a few classes offered.  It's a very low-end gym. If you live in Seattle like your pic suggests, $35 is fair considering cost of living.

Also: GO SEAHAWKS!

I think that's a good deal, especially if you actually go and take the classes!

It depends on what you need and what you are getting.

Before I had kids I paid 20 a month for an average gym. It was fine, not fancy. No pool and the classes were ok.

When I had kids I joined a different gym. I paid 100/month but it came with incredible child care up to 2 hours per day, a pool, a beautiful facility, great classes, a sun deck, reading room, and date nights where you bring your kids in on a Friday night for pizza and a movie and a few hours of free babysitting.

So... I actually think my more expensive gym was a better deal.

ETA: we only left the gym because we moved. I miss it!!

I think it's a reasonable price. Make it worth paying for by going often!

The gym closest to my house is like $70 a month or something crazy like that! So I would say you're doing better at $35! Needless to say, I am not a member of the gym right now! lol

I've always paid around $50-$75 for my memberships.

I'm currently at Anytime Fitness in Canada and pay $55.
