I pay a LOT for my amazing gym, but the real reason I pay so much is because it happens to be next door to my apartment! So I am paying for both luxury AND convenience. But it’s worth it.

I pay $60 and I think that’s a lot for just cardio machines and strength training rooms. I might pay a bit more if there were other amenities, but I might also quit the gym and exercise in home/outside- I am in Florida after all!

Hmm, well, I pay $9/month for my gym membership, and since I never use it, I probably wouldn’t pay more. I prefer to workout at home with free weights in my basement, running for cardio, and yoga in my office. It’s more of a time-saver for me. The 15 minute travel time back and forth is half of my workout.

Hi Tina,

I am a first-time poster, but just want to say, I love your blog–and (hope this doesn’t sound too weird) your personality! You have such a positive and healthy attitude, it’s infectious! Anyway, when it comes to gym memberships, I think it is worth it to join a gym that you really enjoy being at and going to–my gym membership is about $200/month, which I know sounds crazy, but I am willing to sacrifice in other areas so that I can splurge on this. I love the classes, the facilities, services, etc. and I think of it as the place where I can go where it is all just for me during the time I am there. And it is always worth it because, as the people at L’Oreal would say, “I’m worth it!” Thanks again for doing such a great job!

Glad you’re adjusting your posts to your life and not the other way around! It won’t be a big deal!

Your posts always make me miss home so much! I am from Cambridge but in Australia right now.

Honestly I am really cheap with gym memberships. I would rather just run outside anyways but maybe some day I will join a nice gym…

I always miss nut butters in my oatmeal if I leave them out too!

I pay 75 a month and that is with my corporate discount! I used to belong to a $20 gym. They closed at 3 on weekends and 9 on weeknights! There were only 4 ellipticals too! So awful! My gym now is open till 11 at night, I can go to any location in NY, and it has steam rooms and saunas! So worth it!
