A lot.
But its got heaps of facilities and between the four of us we go about 20 times a week swimming, tennis and classes

£17.99 a month, for gym and all classes. It would've been £12.99 a month but my plan allows me to cancel with 1 month notice, which I like more than being tied in for a year.

I pay less than I used to to smoke 10 per day Grin in fact I think I started out about 20 per month cheaper for a luxury gym and health club and now with added tax on smoking I am about 30 quid a month up after 5 yearsGrin

There are about 100 classes per week to choice from including 30 spin classes, body pump, bootcamp outside etc

A large golf course which I can play 3 par gold and a running circuit around the course, a bar and 18's only bar. Pool and creche gardens

Squash-only membership at private gym: £90/yr for individual, still pay court fee on top of that. I get back my money as long as I play at least 18x per year.

I think local (half council run) gym is £25/month for swim only membership, £35/month for individuals (free swim, free gym, cheap classes), and £65/month for families. Sadly they don't have squash courts. I'd need to consistently use facilities 2-3x/week when not otherwise away, to make membership there worthwhile.

£25 a month for just gym use. No joining fee and can cancel with no notice which was important to me.

ceeveebee · 03/09/2012 09:24

It varies massively depending where you live I think. Nice gym with pool in Oldham (DH home town) is about £30 a month, gyms down in London can be £100 a month with massive joining fees as well.

thestringcheesemassacre · 03/09/2012 09:22

£50 a month. Really nice club with pool, spa, sauna etc.
For where I live, I think that's okay.

RGPargy · 03/09/2012 09:15

Sammisatt - my virgin active offers 4 hours of free crèche per day but doesn't do fluffy towels! I can also use any other virgin (except for premium clubs, I.e. posh london clubs) so its not that bad really! Smile

EldonAve · 02/09/2012 18:30

I think it's about £115 for me & 3 kids

TidyDancer · 02/09/2012 18:22

I pay £24 for my local council leisure centre. That's a coverall price for the gym, pool and classes.

It's cheaper because I get discounted membership through work. Nearest private gym costs £70+.

captainhastings · 01/09/2012 16:17

£110 I think for two adults and three children

vodkaanddietirnbru · 01/09/2012 16:16

£35ish for local council run gym - includes gym, fitness classes, swimming and access to all 13 gyms within the local authority.

gindrinker · 01/09/2012 16:00

£20 - fitness 4 less. Classes, pool and weights/cardio etc. No frills but used to be a big expensive chain which they've taken over so it has little luxeries like nice showers and big lockers which they won't bother to refit. Has a beauty room and hairdresser too and the parking is free. Personal trainers are fecking expensive though.

sammisatt · 31/08/2012 11:31

Don't you think gyms have got slightly cheaper? Or maybe it's because I've stopped going to overpriced rip offs like Virgin Active where is's all about the smoothies and fluffy towels. I now go to the council gym and pay £45 a month which means I can go to any other gym in the fitness network. classes and most importantly: 2 hours free creche per day.

Alameda · 30/08/2012 18:58

I used to be mental enough to pay £99 a month, now is about £30 or £40? Leisure centre, same classes and equipment but scarier pools.

bigbluebus · 30/08/2012 18:50

£45 pm for me and DH to use gym with cardio & weights and including all classes. We pay an extra £15pm for DS as he is under 18. It is a privately owned gym but has 3 sister gyms that we could also use if we felt inclined.

KeemaNaanAndCurryOn · 30/08/2012 17:22

£6 a month. Staff membership of the company gym. Get in!

(Of course I've only been a handful of times, but I will go again some time and at least I don't feel massively guilty about wasting a lot of money each month Blush)

takingthestairs · 30/08/2012 17:17

Forgot to add - it's Nuffield Health

takingthestairs · 30/08/2012 17:17

£67 a month for a club with nice gym (cardio & weights), swimming pool, sauna, free classes (inc yoga) and a creche (payable) and café.

LillethTheCat · 30/08/2012 17:16

I pay £20 a month ATM, but thats a special offer rate. It goes up to £38.50 in Jan, but as I wont be on a contract Im thinking of looking at another one near me that is £34 a month. Will see how I feel and how much money I have. I might just end up cancelling and just sticking to running (which I do as well as the gym)

TequilaMockinBird · 30/08/2012 17:13

Should've said, that's David Lloyd.

TequilaMockinBird · 30/08/2012 17:13

I pay about £65 a month I think. Just for me.

It is a vair nice gym with a lovely pool but I don't go anywhere near as often as I should Blush

Here in the USA - so maybe not of help - we pay 65 pounds a month for myself, dh and ds.

Gives us access to 3 local gyms (from a big chain), all classes, (except 1-2 very specialized), weights and cardio, Cardio Cinema, women's gym rooms, pool, sauna and free childcare.

SorrelForbes · 30/08/2012 17:04

£20 per month by direct debit. Local YMCA. Includes all classes, squash courts, use of gym (machines, weights etc.). No pool.
