What hours do you intend to go?

Is it a year contract or month to month?




it's month to month, the only yearly ones they have are prepaid.

Ok, that's the 199 fee then; they want to make sure they get more or less a years worth of money from you. The hours are a big deal IMO because a TON of the things that attract you to it might be full depending on the hours you go. Personally, I'd tell them I'm not paying any sign up fee and if they can hit me with the 20 bucks a month, they've got a client. Call Vision Quest or some other smaller place and use their monthly fee against them. Tell them you only care about cardio and weight equipment (which each gym has) so they don't try to sell you the "well we have 14 racquetball courts" stuff.

19.99 is a great deal. Do they have pools, saunas, hot tubs, etc..?
I pay many times that that for Lifetime Fitness (family plan though). There IS an LA fitness in the area too.

Yeah that's the plan, I'm not going to tell them I want a pool and hot tub, just the bikes and treadmills.

$199 down seems a bit steep. I can't recall exactly what I paid when I first signed up for the gym. I was about 17 (so almost 10 years ago), paid for a 2 year contract up front (which would have been $300-$400 or so). Once the 2 years went by, it went to $96 a year or something like that. That's what I pay now. I have access to everything 24/7 except the racquetball court.

How willing have they seemed to negotiate with you? I was one of the Bally's members clubs they closed and bought my membership, but their club is about 3x farther away, and even though they 'honored' my original plan ($26/mo), they stripped it of its towel service that used to be free and my right to bring quests twice a month. I know at Ballys you could bluff them with cancellation and usually get a discount, wondering if that is the same at LA Fitness.
