Nosey ... but also thought that my gym was reasonably competitive until today when a friend told me that she often gets emails / flyers quoting much cheaper prices.

I pay £65 p/m (this is with a corporate discount, they normally charge £70 but work gets me a fiver off). This includes all classes.

AIBRO? (Am I being ripped off?) Grin

£39 pcm - corporate rate and paid by my boss!

vodkaanddietirnbru · 03/09/2012 19:20

there is another similar thread to this. I pay £35 per month at a local council run sports centre - includes gym, fitness classes, swimming, etc plus you can use any of the 13 other council facilities in the local authority too.

BellaVita · 03/09/2012 19:20

£33 per month. Have access all the time to pool, classes, sauna, steam room, gym etc.

imonthefone · 03/09/2012 19:21

£25/month...classes and creche included

but i dont think you are being ripped off necessarily-it sounds fairl standard for an in-town gym, i think

comedycentral · 03/09/2012 19:21

£25. I get the choice of 5 lovely, modern council gyms with all facilities and classes for that too.

AlargeglassofwhatBorisIsOn · 03/09/2012 19:22

Try £95 a month! Includes DS 3 and Dd 1

mum11970 · 03/09/2012 19:25

I pay £25 pm for council run leisure centre, includes all council pools/centres in our county.

MissCalamity · 03/09/2012 19:26

What??!!

I pay £17.99 a month at the council run gym right round the corner from me. This is for gym membership only, it was £24 a month which included classes but I'm not a classes kind of girl.

I'm in the North West, which probably makes a bit difference in prices.

butisthismyname · 03/09/2012 19:26

£200 a month for the four of us

ImPeppaPigOink · 03/09/2012 19:26

£12.99 including all classes/swimming.

crackcrackcrak · 03/09/2012 19:30

I pay £60 at virgin but that's peak which I no longer need. I'm moving to off peak under their new tarred which is £46

It's an ex Esporta with pool etc - it's v nice

thepeoplesprincess · 03/09/2012 19:34

£15.99 for unlimited classes and gym. No pool or creche tho.

DruAnderson · 03/09/2012 19:35

Mines is £40 per month for me, £10 per month for dd and £10 per year for ds (18months).
There is a massive pool for lane swimming, a small one for more relaxed swimming and a rather large kids pool. There are kids classes everyday for dd (kids have to be over 4 to attend) and unlimited swimming. As ds is only 18 months he gets unlimited swimming.
I thinks its a bargain. Dd swims twice a week and one kids club, during the summer they did and extra 2 hour class during the day. Ds swims at least once a week.
There is a sauna, jacuzzi pool and Unlimited classes for me.
I go 5 times a week, but am there most days either working out or with the kids so its a bargain for us.

DoreensEatingHerSoreen · 03/09/2012 19:35

ah thanks vodka should have a better look around before I start my own thread

Yes my friend was surprised at what I pay and thought that £35 a month seemed more the norm. It's a Virgin Active club, really nice facilities but might start shopping around, there are no council ones as close to me but the saving might justify the travel.

The one near me ai £14.99 a month all in.

Spuddybean · 03/09/2012 19:37

£27 for a gym and a pool and classes (la fitness). It's very oversubscribed tho and we are looking at changing to one which has more/better facilities for £70.

WhatYouLookingAt · 03/09/2012 19:37

at least that one was in the right topic.

295? per year.

laracroft2001 · 03/09/2012 19:37

£54 per month including use of swimming pool. I go at least 5 days a week so worth it

RagingDull · 03/09/2012 19:37

mine was £48 per month and included one personal training session per month with that.

i gave it up - running is free!

DoreensEatingHerSoreen · 03/09/2012 19:38

Crack - I also go to a Virgin one with a nice pool - are you on the south coast by any chance? A few mnetters that I know use the same one.

I need the peak membership as I work Mon - Fri 9-5. Joys of the Rat Race!

I paid 28 a month but had to cancel due to my ex starting the same gym and being weird :(

Feel awful but I had to just cancel the direct debit. Waiting for that to catch up with me now. I went in to speak to them about cancelling, was told to write a letter to the manager. Wrote her a letter. Never heard back. Rang about 6 times 'she's a busy woman' still no reply. Went in again. 'she's not here'. So had no other choice.

Ridiculous.

AGreenie · 03/09/2012 19:40

I pay £ 55 PCM peak for me +£15 per child over 3 which gets 2 hours per day in crèche/classes. It's virgin active too...

Chandon · 03/09/2012 19:43

£60 for a fancy pants one with indoor and outdoor pools, sauna etc. And very clean.

Not sure I've ever been to the gym! But use the pools a lot Grin, on a sunny day it is like a mini holiday, with parasols and lounge chairs and outdoor bubble bath....

Dinosaurdrip · 03/09/2012 19:43

I get mine free with work, I work in a spa hotel so includes full access to saunas, steam rooms etc. 2ds and DP are able to use the swimming pool too.
