Reply to: Last day of gym membership

[Scrag Meister]

Many moons ago I used to be part of a team writing Leisure Management software and this used to include access control and Direct Debit management.

The number of people paying £60+ a month and only going once every couple of months was astonishing. More money than sense.

It will fall apart inside 6 months. Unless you are exceptionally weedy.

Well it's MF, so no worries.

Paid similar sum per month for the spa in Edinburgh. Worth every penny.

Just got my letter from DL saying that the subscription charge is going up to £167.50 PM in January.



That is quite a lot of money.

£80/month??? You must get summit pretty special for that. I pay £24.99 for mine and its quite a decent place, all new equipment. Only downside is the awful rap music they keep playing.

I doubt £80 is that unusual for somewhere in a prime location which has a decent pool.

Even our council facility (actually pretty good) is £35pcm IIRC, that includes pool membership and is a bargain in my view.

I went on Ebay and bought some second hand gym equipment and a new cross trainer for £200.

Worked out so far I'm paying £100 a session.

The Virgin gyms are supposed to be OK so I'm told.

Saw this in town today: 24 Hour Gym | Cheap Gym Membership | Pay As You Go Gym | London

£16/month and no contract, compared to David Lloyds £80/month and 3 month notice period. Place looks big and modern, but no swimming pool.

Handy being able to go to the gym at 3 a.m. in the morning?

That includes a personal trainer, right?!

Easy - due to recession people cut down on things so in order to maintain revenues they need to increase prices on remaining loyal members. Maybe not

It certainly feels like that. Costs that for the whole family - they start charging £10 pm when your child is 6 months (I think)

Certainly feels alot for 1 swim a week

I had three clients who had their own gym. Used to go lunchtimes.

How the **** do they justify that?
