my current 24hr Fitness gym membership is pretty inexpensive. i signed up with a 3 year prepaid contract and now that the 3 years is up, to renew it is only $69 a year, which amounts to a little over $5 a month. i can go to most of their clubs as well, except for the Super Sport and Ultra Sport. the only problem i have is that where i live now, the closest gym is about 15 miles away, and it's not open 24 hours. the other 2 gyms that are open 24 hours are about 18 and 21 miles away.
Fitness 19 on the other hand is about 7 miles away. and it's only $14 a month with no contract. so to put it in perspective. if i join Fitness 19, and i plan to go to the gym about 3 times a week, i'll spend $14 for the membership plus $12 for gas (7 miles * 2 = 14 miles roundtrip * 3 days = 42 miles * 4 weeks = 168 miles / 40 mpg = 4 gallons * $3 per gallon = $12). if i renew 24hr fitness, i'll spend $6 for the membership plus $33 for gas (18 miles * 2 = 36 miles roundtrip * 3 days = 108 miles * 4 weeks = 432 miles / 40 mpg = 10.8 gallons *$3 per gallon = $33).
Fitness 19 - $26 a month
24hr Fitness - $$39 a month
if i decide to join Fitness 19 and just go 3 days MWF, it's only $12 a month for a total of $24. it might be worth it to do that and keep the $6 additional for $24hr Fitness for a total of $30 a month. that way i'll have more options. if im home, i go MWF at a local gym. when i'm somewhere else, i can go to 24hr fitness and go to the gym before or after doing errands.
wow...it's good that i write out my thoughts coz if it's just in my head, i would just immediately opt for 24hr Fitness since it's cheaper. now i have to decide which option is best. i'll update myself on here what i decide to do.
