Cardinal Fitness http://www.cardinalfitness.com/ IL, IN, OH, WI only 1 plan offered all the time $19.95 a month (automatically debited from cc)...no contract...one time enrollment fee of $99 Couples plan $31.95 mo....Family Plan (3 members) $38.95 mo Cancel anytime with 30 day written notice Cardio...Strength training...free weights...personal trainers Tanning offered for a nominal fee....never checked into it so not sure
This thread isn't going to be that helpful because the gym rates vary by location. I have a 24 Hour fitness membership and the price varies from gym to gym within the same city because they can offer different promotions at different locations in addition to their standard promotions on their website.
Edit: Btw, just because they gave 1 person a particular deal does not mean that they will give YOU that deal if you go in and ask for it. So what is the point of this thread again?

It's a big help to get an idea of what others are paying for a membership. Even though we all know plans and prices vary from facility to facility, it's still a good barometer of what the market rates are for membership fees. Thanks OP.
i agree. i dont have a problem with this thread, its good information for all to use as leverage.
24 hr fitness Simi Valley, CA Month to month any 24 hr fitness anytime= $42 month (started membership in 05) Enrollment fee: $54 Processing: $79 first and last up front: $84 TOTAL TO START: $217
Called to cancel last week, they lowered it to $29 per month, but i can only use 1 (my local) 24 hr fitness.

October 2003 $850 for 3 years $50 per year after first 3 years
This deal is still around.I got this same deal in Los Angeles about 6 months before you. It included 5 training sessions (what a waste of my time). A friend of mine got it for $750 for 3 years and $50 per year after that about 1-2 years ago. By the way, these were both all-club memberships, but not the super-sport.

I know this is kind of OT but are all gym plan structured this way? aren't there any clubs where you pay one huge lump sum fee for membership without paying anything after that?
reason why i'm asking is because in the country i grew up in, a lifetime membership means one huge lump sum without any payments thereafter. i think it was like 1500-2000$.
The closest I've seen to that is the Paid In Full memberships where you buy X years in advance at a discounted rate. These are usually the best deals. I think the best technique is squeeze the lowest price on them and then add the carrot that you'll do PIF if they take an extra $x off.
OTOH I once had a "lifetime" membership at a karate dojo that lasted the "lifetime" of the dojo which was like 5 years.

CITY, STATE Bay Area DATE OF DEAL/OFFER All the time PRICE 65/mo for 26yo+ ; 42/mo for <26yo DURATION month to month EXTRAS/INCENTIVES/STIPULATIONS/COMMENTS 25$ processing fee. waved sometimes for promotions
Location: San Jose, CA Date: March 2007 Price: $455 for 3 years; $50 per year after first 3 years Duration: 3 yrs Extras: 5 free trainer sessions Stipulations: add on to an existing primary member User: hungluu00
i had a similar "rip off" experience with LA fitness. They would not refund my money even though it was clearly agreed to when I signed up. After I reported them to BBB, they finally caved. They're almost as bad as used car dealers!
I saw a 3 year membership and $50 every year thereafter at $455. How much was the primary membership?
I was offered $1300 for 2 people but basically the previous offer. I was good only for this week. Tried it out and said no. Next week they say we can leave it on the table for another week or two.
Whatever you do don't give them a CC or auto debit. They will stick to you like AOL!
