| Who here works out? I'm looking into getting back at the gym, and I want to know if there is anything new or any specials out there?
I use to be a member at Lifetime Fitness years ago, but they were $50 or $60 a month and there was an initiation fee.
Lately I've been hearing a lot about Cardinal Fitness, $20 a month as long you remain a member, and no initiation fee!
Anything else? |

| I joined Cardinal a few months ago. It's 20 a month, but there is a sign up fee. Don't remember the cost.

| I like it, I used to have a membership to x sport, liked that too but it was too much of a drive. Cardinal has decent hours, it's cheap and it has everything I need.

| I work out, obviously not locally though. I go to a small chain here in Albuquerque, only 5 locations.
I miss Bally Total Fitness though  I loved it there. |

| xsport... Xsport, 39/mo, towels, great sauna, steam room, soap and towels free, 24 hrs, every tread mill has an lcd screen! lots of energy drink selections, and most of all.. genuin friendly folks - unlike Balley's. I travel for my work, and too bad this gym is not available in all the places I go. But I have gone to 5 different gyms during my 2.5 years of working out and this is the best so far.. wel the one in Chattanooga, Tn was up there, but no lcd screens to watch The GAMES ON SUNDAY!- good luck.

| Hey! If your looking for a nice club thats not too crazily priced give Crunch a try. Even if you dont decide to sign up you still recieve a Free Trial Pass. Just like shopping for a car, most people wouldnt buy a car without test driving it wy would you buy a Health Clu Membership wihout even knowing what your getting?!? Questions? Call MARK- (312)-828-9777 |

| I joined Carinal Fitness about a month ago and I think the fee was ten bucks plus the 20 for the first month. So far it is great. There never seems to be to many people there, so there is never a wait. I would recommend it |

| cardinal is great for the money untill you start actually lifting. their is shit for equipment. you gota wait most of the time to use shit which sux especially if you have 4 dudes using one flat bench. its stupid. you cant superset shit because by the time you get back to whatever you were using its been taken.
i go to diamond in orland park. some of the equipment is old but the place is big, you dont have to wait for anything. their is tons of equipment everything you need is at that gym. it comes out to being about 25 a month depending on how you pay for your membership. They have a "juice bar" if you feel like paying $4 for a cold bottle of mass recovery. |
