    A pal and I went to join a newly opened gym.

    I says to the dude on the desk: “How much is the membership a month?”

    The staff member says: “It’s £50 per month each, or £75 for a couple”

    I’m motioning my pal over, and I’m like “dude are we like boyfriends now?”

    “yeah”

    Turns back to the dude on the desk: “we’ll take the couple’s membership please”.

    Went cross code to save £12.50 a month each. Worth it.

      Holy shit, £50 a month? Is that a common/standard rate?

      At my work we have access to a $25 USD a month membership and I think that is even a bit too expensive for my taste…

        hahaha I pay $75 a month for my gym, and it’s the cheapest in town.

        Prices are just different based upon what cost of living is where you live. That $25 sounds like a pretty good deal depending on whether or not it has a pool though.

        I pay just under $20 per week in Australia. That’s on a special promo price because I signed up in the weeks before the gym opened. (That’s under $15 USD at today’s exchange rate, but still…)

            I wanted to build a home gym too, but when you add the squat rack (realistically a two post one, not the proper big cage) and some sort of bench, it starts getting pretty expensive.

            Gyms vary in price a lot though. From like 19€ a month to like 70 or so I think. I asked someone if the expensive gym is less crowded, but apparently not. Problem is, everyone already knows about them, they’ve been around for much longer than the cheap gyms (of which one has been around for a decade or so)
