I belong to Omni Health and Fitness. It cost me $45 to sign up and $37/mth.
They have tons of classes, new equipment, free weights, women only section and it's very clean.

Yikes... I'm paying alot!!!
Our membership fee was 200.00, and per month, for our family, its 135.00/month. Granted, it sets the gold standard for a gym/fitness center and we get discounted rates on swimming lessons for our son, etc. but I totally know its off the charts expensive.
Because it is so much money, I do feel the need to go at least 5x/week, so I feel like I get my money's worth. And, I'm with Nancy, on the proximity thing: its 2 miles from my house.
PS.... I live in Southwest Michigan, so we're not even talking east or west coast cost of living!!
PPS.. This is why I can't justify STS, even though I really really want it!!

Could you
just get a piece of equipment like a treadmill or a spin bike for at home or are you out of space?
I second the suggestion for a Fitness 19 or how about the Y? I don't mean to be cheap, but yikes thats a lot of dough!

It's not so high. I pay $79 a month in the NJ suburbs of NYC. It's def. dependent on where you live--when I lived in southern VA I paid about $40.
However, I will suggest you get them to waive that initiation fee. That "initiation fee" just burns me up! When I first joined a gym there was no such thing, & there's no way I'd pay that kind of $$ for them to "process" my application. WTH does that mean anyway? That I'm paying you to input my info into a computer?
Sorry for my little rant LOL, it's just a pet peeve of mine. Tell them you can join X club w/no sign up fee & I bet they'll waive it. I've belonged to I don't know how many clubs in the last 20 years & I never once paid that stupid fee.

Hi Anne-
Actually, its the sister gym to the MAC... its the BAC in Kalamazoo. (Bronson Athletic Club) From what I understand, its owned and operated by the same management as the MAC. Small world, huh?
We actually have the head trainer, Chris Johnson from the MAC, that comes once a week to work the PT's at our location. Do you know him? If so, what do you think of his advice/fitness knowledge? He wrote some nutrition books and does seminars.. he's going to do one in January here in Kalamazoo that I'm thinking of attending, but haven't signed up yet.
