What gym do you go to?
 

I go to Snapright now. Not a HUGE fan, but it works and it's affordable - I pay about 40$ a month I think. I want something more, with fitness classes, nutritional coaches if I wanted, etc. etc.

I'm looking at lifetime right now because a friend goes there and then we could go together.

Anyone go there?

Where do you go - and how do you like it - and how much do you pay for what kind of program?

I figure you all would be the best critiques, thanks in advance!

I just use my school's gym. We just built it and since my school fees went up, darn it, I'm gonna make it worth it!

Its fine, much better than the old one that didn't have A/C...or much of anything. I like that each of the machines has its own TV. I just wish we had more classes, outside of the normal physical education classes

I go to Riviera Fitness ... a fitness chain here in Florida. I paid $200 for an annual membership for the second year. It is nice gym but not super fancy (no juice bars, etc.) and it is close to my home (very important for me).

I go to my community rec center, which is pretty new. I like that it has a pool and water park and really nice equipment, although I wish it had more elipticals. It also has a huge indoor track and it's a very family atmosphere. I don't like that the steam room and saunas are co-ed. It works for our lifestyle in the burbs. We pay $50 for a family membership.

I go to Anytime Fitness. I pay $54/month for me and my hubby. I love that each cardio machine has it's own tv and that I can go to any location in any city. There are 2 locations in my nearest city. One is fairly new, and they are still working on their aerobics area, but the one on the other side of town do have classes. Also, they have a little area that my son can hang out in if I need to take him.

I also go to Anytime, love it! 29.99 with a corporate discount! And its like three blocks away!

I go to Les Mills and I love it, but its freaking expensive!

We just joined 24 hour fitness...I like it pretty well. We go to a newer location so its a bit nicer (and cleaner) than some of the older ones. We pay 29 a month each and am able to all locations.

We ended up choosing 24 because we work out really late, they have alot of classes, and they also have pools which we really enjoy.
If it wasn't for LA Fitness not being open 24 hrs we probably would have joined there though.

I started at Curves in June of last year, and thankfully my membership is almost up. I really don't feel like I get my $37/month worth there. Just one thing to do: the circuit. And the music they play is lame. You can't listen to your own music because then you won't hear the voice over telling you to change stations. It did get me to start exercising and I lost about 10 pounds just from going 3 times a week, so I am thankful for that. I have been working out in our apartment complex gym which is pretty nice, there's a tanning bed and indoor pool with hot tub in the gym building. I may consider a 24 hour type place soon because I want to be able to exercise when the mood strikes, and often that is after hours.

I go to Planet Fitness. It's $10, no contract but the only thing I wish we had was some kind of classes. Although I know that would cost more. I thought about joining Gold's across the street from work, but then I figured I wouldn't want to drive 30 minutes to the gym on the weekends.

My PF is also 24 hours (not that I go at odd hours but it's nice to have the option!).

I go to Gold's. It's about $35 a month, and they have tons of classes. I wish the pool was a little bigger and that we had individual TVs instead of the big ones, but there are TONS of options for cardio and strength machines and I never have to wait for someone to finish up.

I go to a small private gym that is not part of a chain. It's very elegant & spa-like, as it should be, since I pay $85 per month. But that's all-inclusive -- I get to take all the classes that I want, for free, such as Pilates, yoga, spinning, Zumba (if I wanted to, which I don't) & etc.

My company also has a gym on-site, down in the basement level near our cafeteria. Some days, if I don't have a class scheduled, I head down there right after work. That's free. As it should be, since I give this company a good portion of my life, sometimes at very odd hours on my laptop from home & even while on vacation. The gym is really there to keep us captive longer. (And probably to reduce their insurance premiums.)

I go to Fitness First. I have a 1 year, 1 location contract, so I pay about $21 a month. Its not bad, people are there to work out and not socialize, so I like it.

I used to belong to an independent gym that had all the Les Mills classes and that was $47 a month, but soooo worth it. I'd still be going there if I didn't move 45 minutes away.

I'm moving in a week and trying to find a gym in my new city - it's proving difficult! There's a Curves - but as I've heard Curves is kind of a waste of money. There's some little hole in the wall gym run by a former boxing champ and his website looks like it came straight outta 1995 - sketch. I can get on base to use the base gym with my boyfriend but only with my boyfriend - so I can't work out on my own schedule, just his. I have no idea what to do! Reading all these reviews is making me jealous :)

Amen!

That's why I couldn't stand going to Curves anymore, it was good to get started and get more exercise but there's no versatility.

I just signed up at Dynamic Fitness, I think it's a local business that used to be called Lady DynaFit (or it's from the same people at least). It's 39 a month for me, no contract. If I took a contract it would have been lower but I didn't see the value in it.

There's three different areas that have five treadmills, five ellipticals, and five steppers each with three tv's infront of them. I can plug in my headphones and watch tv, or switch it to radio which is nice. I really like it there :)

I don't have a specific gym recomendation, but I recommend one that has personal televisions on the cardio equipment (you can do cardio forever if you can tune into a good show) and one that offers unlimitted access to group fitness classes.

I love my gym, but it is only located in North Idaho and Montana. I believe the fees are about $45 a month for 1 person and then there is a discounted family membership rate.

I go to Anytime Fitness, although I haven't been in awhile since I like to run outside when the weather's nice. We paid about $180 for a 3 month contract for me and my fiance, but we took advantage of some specials that turned that into 6 months for the same price. Plus, we're lucky in that my health insurance provider reimburses gym memberships up to $200 a year, and my company matches that - so we basically got paid for our contract.

As far as gyms go, I like it - I wish it had classes, but I do enough dance classes outside of it that I don't know if I'd really take advantage of them if they were offered. Most importantly, it's close to my house, open 24 hours and all of the equipment has those fancy personal TVs. Works for me!

My husband's company is a health support company that offers gym memberships to insurance carriers which means we reap benefits - we get free memberships to all kinds of gyms - it is freakin awesome. I tell him weekly - he can never leave that job! I go to YMCA, 24 hour, Anytime, Pure Fitness, and some smaller local gyms. I can't tell how lucky I am and having access to the gyms have totally made a difference in weight loss since I can go at work, on my way from work, or at home.

i go to lifetime .. it's like 65 a month but you can get a discount through your insurance if you go a certain # of times a month. i like it because of the variety of machines, the steam room & the sauna!

I go to the YMCA and I love it. It has a pool, lots of equitment to use, and all these classes. It can be a bit expensive, but they have this thing called the scholarship program, that if you cant afford to pay that much they take off a certain amount and slash the price for you. So since i have school and such and really cant afford 51 dollars a month on a gym membership I only have to pay 21!

and its family orientated so there isn't a bunch of muscle heads or too tan really skinny chicks walking around in tank tops and super short shorts.

I go to my college's gym most often, which I enjoy. (Especially because I go to a women's college so it's basically an all-women gym other than the few male grad students or faculty that use it.) My apartment also has a small fitness center with a weight machine, an elliptical, and a couple of treadmills that I use as well. I don't pay a separate monthly bill for either, which is great.

After college I've considered joining the YMCA because a lot of them have special "young adult" rates for people 24/25 or younger.

I miss the YMCA...I used to work at one in Chattanooga, TN. We don't have one around here. :(

I go to 24 Hour Fitness, mostly because I like having the option of working out at really random times of the day.

I use my university's gym during the school year, and I currently have a summer membership at Retro Fitness.

I go to Gold's Gym, and I'm really pleased with it. I pay $19.95/month and I'm NOT on a contract, so I can cancel anytime with a month's notice. It's literally right across the street from my apartment complex, open 24hrs on weekdays and all daylight hours on the weekends. It's clean, the staff is friendly, there are personal TVs on most of the cardio equipment, and I have never had to wait to use a machine or a machine with a TV. They even have a cinema room which is a dark room with a movie playing on a big screen with a bunch of cardio machines in there. You can get a schedule of the movies they're playing each day (all new releases, they played Avatar yesterday). They also have a ton of classes that are free with the membership. Apparently my $19.95/month doesn't cover the free classes, but I go anyways and nobody cares. Sometimes, the staff will walk around inviting/encouraging you to go to the classes, so don't ask don't tell, haha. But I've done yoga, zumba, and body pump and they have others.
