Fraggle I will but the local PT is crap and getting in with the brilliant one is hard to get to and book!
Rosehip I pay £28:50 for gym pool and classes (which I don't do!) But it's corporate cost and will go up as taken over recently and undergoing 1.3millon pound referb
Other local gym is 25 gym only or 65 for everything

I pay £60 per month for unlimited classes and open access to the gym at all times. I can drop it to £40 per month for just gym access if I want though. This is a 'crossfit box' though and a not a 'gym' so probably not really comparable to a 'normal gym' if you understand what I mean. Any time I've spoken to someone they've said what a food price it is for a crossfit gym.

- the local box is £80 a month unlimited use 
The pool/gym/classes - cheapest is £360 for a year- off-peak only, which I almost went with until I saw the £50 "admin fee" which is ridiculous (then there's induction on top of that!). with peak hours it's nearly twice that!
I paid about £30 (maybe less, corporate rates, for David Lloyd) paying more for a council/consortium seems excessive.

I paid £90 a month for David Lloyd until recently (NOT corporate!) It was worth it because I was doing about 6 classes a week.
Currently doing PT at local Crossfit place (which is why I wandered in here...) before they’ll let me do classes. They also charge £90 a month for unlimited access, or £10 a class. Not quite sure yet how I’m going to get best value for money.

MSC is expensive (£50-90) but if you're someone that mainly wants to do weights and will go several times a week and make use of the expertise then it's worth it.
Probably not worth it in the long term for a runner doing two weights sessions a week.

If I want to lift anything heavier than the 5kg dumbells I've got here I'll need to join a gym. Think I'll try PAYG at the local one for starters - I can run there and back and if I don't go I don't pay. - and PAYG swim at the other one.
If I find I am spending more than the monthly cost of pool/gym and getting into a routine and enjoying it - maybe that's the time to sign up.
Have signed up for a 6-week pilates course with a friend from next month (teacher turned PT ) maybe she can sort me out with stuff to do at home as well.

£9.99 a month for local year old Xercise4less gym (which was opening offer-now around £16 a month for new members). No pool/sauna but good range of classes and outstanding range of cardio and weights equipment. Would be a bargain but for the thrice a week boot camp and twice weekly PT sessions on top of that.

I have had cardio equipment and the odd dumbbell/kettlebell in a home gym before but there is no way could get anything close to the range of equipment/weight types I use at the gym without spending hundreds of pounds.
