Gym Memberships/Home Gyms

_Underdog_ · 02-05-2006, 04:12 AM

A couple questions here: how much is your current gym membership? if you don't have one and work out at home, how much did it cost for you to buy all of your equipment at home?

22/mo @ 24 hr fitness. my sister got a coupon for 24/mo from her old personal trainer and signed me up as family. rawks!

Over 1000 for the equipment.

I workout at home too. I don't have a good range of equipment (although my dad says we're gonna get hooked up when we move to our new house). I've pretty much risked a lot of injury; eg: trying to do squats: barbell balanced (more like unbalanced) on the freezer and a chair. So I'm thinking about a membership since I work FT now. I took a tour at the local Y and man it was packed and this girl told me it was usually like this around this time of the day, but still...waiting in line-ups wasn't my dealio.

But there's these two that just opened up, haven't checked it out but I called and they have both have a good range of equipment. One of them favours bodybuilding and it's $54.99/month, the other, $30.00. I'm thinking the latter but we'll see. I'm gonna check them both out tomorrow and see which one's better.

Yeah I would just go to a good gym than since your working FT.

Thankfully there is a gym called "Hardcore Gym" here in Edmonton. The prices are cheaper than YMCA and other places and some pros lift there and there is almost never waiting.

Gyms are around 30 dollars per month. Find a nice local place that's not like a bally's or 24-hour fitness -- those places honestly suck.
