  I pay $50/month at my gym (Cheetah, Chicago) and then spring for eight PT sessions per month as well. I roll the cost of protein shakes and supplements into the monthly food bill.
  
  Being in good health: priceless.

  My membership is a little insane... 132/month. However, in january I don't have to deal with herds of newbies hogging the machines.

  Gold's...any one I choose in or around Austin. $16/mo. (got it 12 years ago).
  
  Definitely not posh, but it's got what I need.

  I've just paid $800. for 14 months at The Rock Health and Fitness in Astoria, Queens. This comes out to around $57. a month which, for anywhere in NYC, is a whopping bargain!

  My University's fitness membership works out to roughly $15.40 a month if you buy it as a year-long pass. That gives me access to both weight rooms, both indoor pools and the outdoor pool when it's open in the summer, and as many group exercise classes as I feel like attending. Not a bad deal, though this is the only one of the three universities I've been to that requires students to pay to use the gym.

  most universities work in a "recreation fee" or "athletics fee" which incorporates a gym usage fee into tuition. we have some pretty cool stuff too. free appointments with a trainer and a nutritionist. free athletic equipment rentals (i.e. kayaks, tents, all kinds of stuff). free health assessments, free classes of all sorts (yoga, dance, work-out related, etc)

  True. What I meant was, this was the first one where I had to specifically pay to get in the door. At other universities I've attended, there was a very low fee assessed to every single student as a mandatory athletics fee for attending the university. While this school's method seems a bit fairer at first glance--only those who want to use the weights and cardio equipment end up paying for it, while those who don't pay nothing--it's not quite balanced that way either as it's still free to use the basketball courts and that sort of thing.

  Mine is free, but I've put in nearly 3000 hours of volunteer work to get it. Most Edmonton YMCA members pay around $55 for a regular monthly membership, or about $95 for a membership in the nice locker room with no kids in it. Paying in lump sums or as group memberships (corporate or family) will reduce costs substantially. It is a nice gym with a lot of programs and benefits for members, so the price seems fair to me.

  I hate you all. Every last one of you.
  
  $1,500 for a 2-year membership to NY Health & Racquet Club. Which I still think isn't that bad (~$67/month).

  I'm with art_smass. Three hours a week of volunteer time at the YMCA gets you a free membership. Not only is it one of the best gyms in town but as an added bonus I volunteer in the game room which means I get to spaz out and act like a kid once a week!

  LOL, no... but oak lockers, marble showers and a billion attendants picking up. And I don't have to wait in line for equipment or treadmills... It is entirely stupid to pay that much, but hard to go back now.
