I did a simple calculation in a spreadsheet for future monthly dues.
Let us assume that after 2yr is over they put u on typical $35month plan.
It will take approximately 2 more years to catch up to someone who has the other current deal which is 24/month to month.
costco 299 ($35 * 24months 35initial fee) = 1174 Or Take the $24 * 48months 24initial fee = 1176
***UPDATE*** The Costco warehouse locations are currently offering an 18 month membership for $249.99. The Costco website still has the $299/24 months available. The per month cost on the warehouse offer is slightly higher.

I bought this the last time they had it...great deal works out to about $12 a month and the certificate never expires, I still haven't cancelled my membership and activated this but I am this month. I didn't want to cancel it b/c i'm only paying $24 now and never paid a cent for activation, etc, and didn't want to get stuck 2 years down the line with a worse deal as $24 flat is solid for me.
But i'm gonna activate it and just ride out the next 2 years on the house since I paid for my certificate months ago when Costco had this same deal. They shipped it really quickly and I received it in 2 days.
with this deal, does anyone know what happens if i were to move out of a 24-hour fitness area? i know with other prepaid plans, the gym would give me a prorated refund.
the reason i ask is that i may move out of state in 6-8 months..but it's not set yet. not sure if i'll lose out on the whole 299 if i move.

The only benefit you get is being able to go to super sport clubs, but most people just go to the sport centers anyway.

i know costco is the best deal. i dont know if they are willing to lower the $35 monthly fees if you tell them about the costco offer? i think $35 monthly for gym membership is too much.
i think the costco deal, you can go to any locations but you cannot freeze your account. that means, you go or dont go to the gym, your membership still continues.
I did this last year (1 year for $199) and you can freeze your account. During the summer I prefer to run outside so I froze mine for 4 months before I started back up. There is no change for freezing it since it is fully prepaid. This was at the downtown Bellevue, WA location.

So wait, it's 299$ for 2 years plus an extra 35$ a month?? Can someone clarify for me please? or is it just 299 for 2 years and that's all you pay??

for less than that you could also get 3 years prepaid with a low renewal (and Super Sport access)
I got mine for $800 and $50 renewal. That wasn't a good deal. There were people who got it for a lot less (at the same time I got mine, almost 3 years ago). It should be fairly easy to get a deal like mine though
$299 for two years. There is no other fee. People are talking about what the standard deal is ($35 a month). This deal brings it to around $12 a month for 2 years.

I think you might be able to get it a little lower. With gym memberships, everything is negotiable. Just go in and ask them in person. Tell them you already know you want to join and just want a good deal. For example, tell them you are willing to do it for zero initiation and $25/month (no idea if that would work). Also decide in advance if you need Super Sport access or not or if a single club membership is OK (that would lower it also). Walk out if they don't agree or you can't come to an agreement within 3 minutes. Those guys will talk to you for hours to get you to sign
A few years ago I bought a 3 year membership for $450 i believe and after the 3 years I would just have to pay $45 per YEAR. This is my current plan and I just paid my yearly membership of $45 for the 09 year. I wonder if its something similar to this?

This deal you can't renew for the $40-80/year like how we can with ours. I paid $600/3yrs and my Annual renewal is I think $50.

how long ago and in what area?
I bought mine in Orange County, CA. The lowest I have ever seen it (posted here on Fatwallet) was $550 and $20 renewals. Some areas may be easier to get a low price. Around SoCal I was seeing people getting it for $650+

Obviously 3 years ago if he said he bought a 3 year membership and just had to pay $45 for 09 dues on renewal.
