I haven't signed up anywhere yet.How much did you end up paying?
I looked at about 6 gyms before I signed up, funnily enough, with the gym I trained at during my last health kick 12 years ago.
$400 a year for an updated and fair sized weight room, brand new dumb bells, and decent hammer strength type machines. 5 new gyms have been built in the area in the last decade, and he's had to lower prices to compete. I actually thought he meant $400 for 3 months.
The best gym I've ever seen is a thing called derrimut gym out in the sticks. Old mate trains there. 3 huge warehouse sized rooms, they even had an MMA/boxing room, and blokes were banging on truck tyres with a sledgehammer. All for $600 a year.
The over priced gyms were often the worst package. I found any place that wanted to charge me $50 for a membership card that opens doors at 3am wasn't worth joining.
Assuming the facilities are ok I'm 99% sure I'm going to end up at Goodlife Waverly Park as it's the closest to home
