Wondering who all has gym memberships... thinking of shedding a few lbs, and wondering what gym memberships cost now days..

 

What gym do you attend?

 

How much is your monthly fee?

 

 

 

Im thinking of joining 24 hour fitness.

I belonged to Golds for a long time. It was the cleanest and the best, however it was $45/month. Now I belong to World Gym (formally Planet Fitness). They have two specials that run all the time. $1 down and unlimited for $9.99/month or (the pkg I have) $19.99/ month unlimited w/ free tanning and I can bring a friend anytime for free. The real reason why I chose World is because they are open 24/7 and it fits into my schedule.

Unfortunately membership fees vary considerably depending on where you go, and not always because one is nicer. I'm a member at two gyms, Just Fitness and Core Fitness Center. The Core Fitness center membership is $30/month and Just Fitness is $10/month. Just fitness is bigger, nicer, and way cheaper. Wierd.

I go to fitness unlimited 38 a month but its a huge gym steam room and the goodies.

 

I joined at the end of january and went 5 days a week until I lost 50 lbs.

I sorta stopped going over the summer I go like twice a week now and gained 10 lbs. But hey its summer and I'm going back when summers over.

L|A|Fitness...got it for $30/month (no contract) with a $49 initiation fee. We play a lot of racquetball, and not all gym brands have them.

well I've been doing this for a while, i bought me a squat rack... only problem is i cant really max out or lift much without a spotter. i have buddy from HS who weighed 230, and is down to 195 and is going to a local gym and wants to 'swole' up now. I'm trying to get motivated again so i bought some powder protein @ GNC.

 

trying to invest a little to get me to commit for good.

Ive been on a few suppliments for a few months now. If you want to really commit yourself, get a bottle of USP Labs "Prime" and a container of N.O.Xplode for pre-workout. Your 30 day transition will seriously amaze you. :cheers:

do what you can as far as weight while alone and sooner or later you won't need a spotter lol...p.s whey protein and creatine is the way to go, make sure you eat right also...and drink water unless your want the creatine to make you sick, 1g of whey were pound you want to weigh..if you take whey and don't work out it will become sludge on your body..be very careful with what anabolic shit you get into, i've had bad experiences with sickness and extremely short tempers because of that shit...theres really no replacement for just doing the work without good ol water and meat...

      Disengaged Tow Haul Mode

      Thank You Another JR, I watched the transmission temp the highest was 214, the engine temp seemed normal.  Hoping not a valve body issue, but...

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Z45 · Posted

      dexos began as an effort for GM to control the oil change market because the Quick Lube Industry was eating into dealer service department profits big time. So they attempted to get other oem’s to develop standards as well and that would make it hard for Quick Lubes to compete because all the oems would be different. GM faced lot of industry push-back, mostly the quick-lube industry and they went to licenses. Still GM it making a ton of money (est'd 30-40 million in 2025) off the license structure as they charge a hefty fee to get oil tested then require a royalty on ALL gallons sold applicable to GM vehicles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      Those are parts changers. It can get expensive though. I was a mechanic for 30 yrs. My truck has made this noise since new. I really don`t know what it is. It really doesn`t bother me. I`m still in warranty but have not brought it to the dealer.   I`m not buying the oil pump prime thing. Screw the TSB. I believe it`s in the trans pump gears. They rattle when that piss poor ULV oil drains off after a while. I believe those sharp tooth gears, with backlash, can rattle when dry. Not a vane style oil pump. Wonder who`s right? Me, or the TSB?🤔   Maybe I`m wrong?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By newdude · Posted

      On the PCM side, blue PCM connector, pin 18, solid gray color (no stripe) wire circuit 435.  That is the EGR low circuit which an issue on that line (be it the wiring, the PCM or the EGR valve or system performance) will trigger P0401 when it tests that code.     There is also a VERY old TSB that states to make sure you clear the DTCs ANY time the PCM is unplugged, reprogrammed, or if the EGR valve is unplugged or replaced as the PCM has an auto zero function in the PCM for the EGR pintle data   61-65-59: SMU - SECTION 6E - ENGINE CONTROLS - CLEAR DTC'S - (Nov 25, 1996)   "CLEAR ANY DTCS FROM THE VCM ANYTIME AFTER DOING VCM REPLACEMENT/ PROGRAMMING, TURNING THE IGNITION ON WHILE THE EGR VALVE IS DISCONNECTED, OR REPLACING THE EGR VALVE."   Some diagnostic aid notes in the GM diag on P0401 for a 1995 S10 Blazer:   Diagnostic Aids Notice: In order to prevent further damage if the EGR valve shows signs of excessive heat, check the exhaust system for blockage (possibly a plugged converter) using the procedure found on the restricted exhaust system check. If the exhaust system is restricted, repair the cause; one of which might be an injector which is open due to one of the following reasons: Stuck Grounded driver circuit Check the oil for possible fuel contamination if a stuck open fuel injector is found. Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect VCM harness connectors for the following conditions: Backed out terminal BL 18 Improper mating Broken locks Improperly formed or damaged terminal Poor terminal to wire connection Damaged harness Intermittent test - If connections and harness check OK, monitor a digital voltmeter connected between terminal BL 18 and ground while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If the failure is induced, the voltage reading will change.
