I'm on a free pass right now, and this looks like a pretty good deal. The Terms and Conditions dont mention anything about a price after the 2yr period, I assume it would be the regular $35/mo. Can someone verify that?

Strange that a club called 24 hour fitness mentions this in their T&C though..

The membership than begins to be terminated. My brothers just ended about 2 months ago and they didn't charge any other fees. It just stops working.

found this a couple of weeks ago, was going to jump on it but living less than 2 miles from a Super Sport (coupled with Houston traffic) kills the deal.

Still I don't know many places you can work out for less than $15.00/mo.

Anyone know how much this costs if you don't have a costco membership. Once you add the item to cart, it says there is a surge charge for non-members.

On top of that, do you guys really work out that much?? I mean, my friend got on in the same deal and all but she got 4 years for 800 and 15 renewal every year after. Though do you guys ever wonder what happens if they go bankrupt, you get injured or any thing like that? You practically just lost out on your money. Btw, rep for OP but costco had it for 280 a few weeks back.

Of course it still applies. Sure all those those nightmare scenarios you mention could possibly happen, but are they likely? No. The one thing that is guaranteed though is if you get this Costco deal, after your two years are up you are left with nothing. It's like buying a house versus renting. There's more pain up front in buying a 3 year deal, but in the long run you'll benefit both financially and health wise.

It's a good deal and I even bought one of these certificates. However be sure to take advantage of the 1 week free deal they have. I did the one week free and decided against joining with my certificate.

The reason? Their equipment was too old and outdated. The facility itself was not maintained well, broken water fountains and not very clean in the locker room. Of course, it depends upon which location you are near and will vary.

I ended up returning my certificate to costco for full refund and joining a different gym.

True. The locker rooms stinks.
The facility is not bad. But very crowded.

(Trying to decide if it's better to buy 2 memberships for my daughter and me or buy one for me and add her on)
For the pre paid costco certificate you don't have the option of adding any body to the membership.

I recently read an article that suggested they were purposely closing and letting the regular clubs go down hill since they want to move to the super clubs with higher fees.

No locations near me in metro ATL (Roswell) . Wife has one of those Bally Fitness $9 mo dues on an old lifetime memberships . Unfortunately, they won't let her add me on for that and there is no way I would pay $259 or even $150 for a year in advance given what a dump the local facility is and their pending Chapter 11 BK .
