Or, if offered, gym daily passes

$30-40 a month

Depends if the Gym has a pool or not.

No pool? $20-30

With a pool? Usually 50$+

Park districts can be cheaper than chain gyms. You tend to get a discount if you are a resident of the town, too.

I pay $22/month for a gym membership at my local park district. Full gym (treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, free weights, weight machines), basketball court, running track, sauna & hot tub.

Dang, that's a great price.

I'm paying $51 for all the same stuff at the local old ass YMCA.

Gym prices in my town are a bit inflated though. The only place that I know of that's cheaper is planet fitness.

Yeah, the place is dirt cheap compared to gym prices around the area. Thats a non-resident rate, too. Its a park district for a suburb just outside of Chicago, and the place has two ice rinks that get a ton of use for hockey and figure skating (the Chicago Wolves do a lot of advertising with it). I think they make a lot of money off those rinks, which allows them to really slash gym membership rates. I hear people who have memberships at Lifetime Fitness in my area and they pay 4-6 times as much per month as I do.

I used to go to Gold's and paid freaking $45/month for the privilege. Then a Planet Fitness opened up here. Now I pay $10 and haven't looked back since. I miss having a proper squat rack, but that's literally the only thing that I used in Gold's that PF doesn't have.

I pay $19 A month for LA Fitness which has a pool, sauna, machines, free weights, basketball courts, racquetball, yoga and other free classes I'll never use. Lol.

I remember when looking around for a gym, they were all usually pretty high. But I don't know what's a good price anymore. I use the gym on base. It's free, so...

I know I'm getting ripped off, but there really aren't many other options. Maybe I'll look around more, and just shoot hoops at the school I'm working at
