I was a member. I was paying about $35 - 40/mo. After a while (a little over a year), I told them that I could no longer afford it and they reduced it to $20/mo.
Don't be surprised if you gain some weight at first. Muscle weighs more than fat. It should not last long.
It gets boring unless your location is adding new machines. They can not add new machines until their membership reaches a certain level. My location was one of the first in our area and we had 400 members within the first 2 months. It's decreased now because locations are popping up on just about every street corner.
I had to finally quit because I damaged both knees and had to spend several months in intense therapy to correct them. That is one of the biggest complaints about their eliptical workout routine.
However, the POSITIVE thing is that it isn't a "meet" market. These ladies there are there for the same reason you are. I've used a travel pass and found that each location had the same attitudes. They applaud your success and work with you if you are hitting hurdles.
Oh, to the best of my knowledge, they do NOT provide child care. The location I used had several little ones in there and they did have a small table and some toys, but not care for them while you work out.
Good luck. Hope this helps. I'm looking for some other place that has more equipment and convenient hours.
