Can fitness centers require a visit to the facility as the only way to get a price quote for membership fees?

It is a good thing for you to see what your getting, but I agree it is a ploy to strong arm you!\n\nI would find the place you like and name drop about the other gyms. Since it is done on commision, I would wait until the end of the month and at the end of the day so you have an advantage because they need to make quotas.Same for buying a car!\n\nYou should ask people what they are paying as they enter and leave the gym to get a feel for the cost. Good luck!

Highly doubtful that you would be able to pull up plans on a website as most Architects and City Building Departments will not post them due to copyright laws. \n\nGenerally, gyms are just like warehouses, big & empty with upgraded HVAC and sprinkler systems, and a bit of upgraded fine finishes. It's the space planner that decides where all of the exercise equipment will go.

Go to their web site and you can, but you will need a credit card...

None that are free....Sorry.\nMost have you register and pay a small fee monthly or large fee for one time use.

Depends on what type of a gym it is if it is a national one they tend to cost more but then if you went to another city they would have one there. A local gym wants your business so you can sometime haggle their prices down best I have seen is like 1 year at like 30 bucks I think. Or you could join a women's only gym and not have to worry about guys drooling over you

I work in the Community college gym.  I charge 15 dollars a session under the table for personal training.\n\nFor community members it's 100 dollars for a year membership.\n\nWhen joining a gym, it's always best to join the community owned ones as they are not trying to push product and sales on you constantly.  They also have much more qualified trainers.

It depends on regularity of usage. If it involves a membership- monthly fee is most common, for others per use.

Last time I checked you could for a fee of about $7 per month. I didn't think it was worth it though.\nGood Luck

San DIego CA. I go to 24hr Fitness and I pay $12 a month. I get to go to any aerobic classes that they have and use all of the equipment, but that's about it. LA Fitness is a lot nicer, but they charge $25, I'll stick with 24hr

Take a look at the Planet Fitness web site (https://www.planetfitness.com). Enter your location, and you should see an offer for $19.99 per month.\n\nIf you don't find what you want there, keep a close watch on local coupons that come in the mail. You can also look in your local newspaper.\n\nIf you still don't find what you want, go in to Planet Fitness and ask them for the offer. Most fitness clubs are eager to sign up new members.

It depends where you want to take classes. Local YMCAs have a great array of decisions, usually public and that not price-y. Even if you're not a member!\nIf you want private classes, yes, it will be price-y. But that's your choice, of course!

no way you find one that charges only $15/hour...trainers associated with gyms all cost the same...price set by the gym.   it's roughly $50/50min at 24 hour fitness.  if you go find a trainer not associated with a gym, it'll probably be more than that.
