Tell me how much you pay for gym memebership

Please

I would like to join one, once I get a job but I am not sure if it will still be too pricey.

So, can you give me a rough idea ?

my Next Generation membership (Cambridge/Ipswich) was about £100 a month I think but included tennis etc so worked out cheaper than gym + tennis

lots of nice things for the children too

gosh those were the days though, when did I ever have time for the gym?

Mrs Morgan,

Do look at different alternatives.

I know that my gym seems a lot, but that covers nursery fees (there is an ofsted registered nursery attached to the gym) so my DS and DD go there while I go to the gym.

In actual terms, it works out more cost effective for me to do that than it would be to put them in a standard nursery and go to a council run gym.

Obviously, it depends on your circs (I have 2 kids under 2 and no DH/DP at home to help with childcare) and I don't work, so this works for me...

Thanks everyone.

I have no dp/h so can't do a joint membership.

Will look into council gyms too.

About £30 I think, local leisure centre so I get a small discount as I am a teacher

It depends where you are and what you want to do. Most have packages so you can choose gym only/gym and swim/off-peak etc. The smarter gyms like La fitness, Holmes Place etc can be about £40+ per month, but there are others like Courtneys that are only about £25 a month. Many of the "community" leisure centres you can pay as you go too.
