none of them have contracts. you can quit at any time. The startup fees are the shitty part

I have xsport and ive been happy. $40 / month for all locations

 

[DynaSlim]

They don't? I was at gold's once and I couldn't go anymore but they kept charging me monthly dues.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

why couldnt you go?

to cancel xsport you just have to send a letter to their HQ saying you want to cancel and all payments stop

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

maybes its different for golds

 

[DynaSlim]

I ended up getting a job with bunch of overtime so I didn't have time. I think gold's all closed down now right?

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

No idea.

I like LA fitness

LA Fitness is $30 a month and I can go to any of them. Start up fee was around $150, no contract.

depends on what you want out of it.
i wouldnt spend the big $ for a "health club" like lifetime ( i.e. it has basketball courts, swimming pools, sauna etc )

from what i have heard, planet fitness is cheap... it's a "gym"
cardio machines, weight machines and free weights.

is there a fitness 19 near you ?
i started there 8 years ago for 89.95 sign up fee and $19/ mo

this was also just a "gym"
it was sufficient for what I wanted to get done

[DynaSlim]

Been at x-sport since like 09. $39 a month that whole time. At the time I sign up they had a 1/2 off sign up fee so I paid $75 + $39/mo, no contract. All of the larger x-sports have b-ball courts, pools, and chick classes (if ur into that).

I just saw a thing at x-sport that is buy 1 year get 1 year free. I have no idea the details but I imagine it will come out to less then the $39 I pay per month. Though since you are looking for no contract, that kind of makes it like one since you buy 2 years off the bat, so maybe not for you. You can also get a 7 day free pass to try the gym out.

The huge downside to x-sport, and I imagine this is a problem at most places, is how insanely crowded it can get at peak hours. Right after work at 5:30 is just awful to try to do a real workout on some days. Mondays are the worst, I just do whatever I can on Mondays. Weekends are good though.
