Where is EVERYONE FROM????

Where is everyone from, and how much are their monthly gym fees. Just curious.

I'll start it off
I'm in Flemington, NJ and GYM fees range from $40 to $65 bucks here - I figured 45lbs is 45 lbs -- so I stayed with the $40 gym fee. and around here - $40 bucks is dirt cheap.

All I want is to lift anyway - don't need the track/pool/basketball courts

$49 a month. No startup fee and only a 3-month contract, which is nice.

I'm in Toronto, Canada. I haven't paid gym fees for five years because I work there...I pay a small fee to use my local pool ($10 a month) and $12 a week for yoga classes because I have to take them in the middle of the day.



Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

Only certain parts of CT are expensive. Unfortunately, I live in one of the most expensive parts. I save 20 cents a gallon on gas by filling up near work instead of near home.

Shutup, I know your pain. I've had a paid up lifetime membership( no monthlyfee) for years. I stopped going to Ballys for many years because it was a terrible place to train, but for financial reasons I had to back there for nine months in 2003/2004. I was glad to finally get away from there again about 4 months ago.

As a serious trainer and a WOMAN who trains hard and heavy and knows what she's doing, you must stand out like a seriously sore thumb.
