Is it an Equinox or something? £350 a month is a wedge. Makes the discounted price fairly attractive.
It's not an Equinox but it's at that level. The work option is the best option of the 3 in terms of price & location. I'm just finding it hard to justify ONE HUNDRED POUNDS a month on a gym membership. My last one was £18.Cheaper you go in london the busier it gets (wife works in london) id gladly pay £100 mth for quieter and less of the problems listed on here.
Its funny, people will gladly pay 300mth on a pcp for their car (and some allot more) but this is your health and increases your lifespan, london, most are there for one reason, all the costs reflects this..

£1200 a year buys a lot of equipment to use at home.Pvapour said:

Just looked at equinox, I like that kind of luxury, but you'd have to be simple to pay 350 a month...probably
You could imagine the type of East European and Brazilian call girls that attend Ive paid £120 for Gymbox pcm but then went to lunch and afterwork classes + gym use so was worth while when i add it all up to go locally;
Gym = 40ish (think its less but lets roll with it)
Thai boxing = £10 a session or think its 70 pcm
Yoga = 50-100 at a yoga studio (my gym doesnt offer this as a class)
So when you look at it, 120 isnt too bad plus deals can be had
£1000 wouldnt really buy you alot of decent equipment for the home, even second hand.

Trap Bar, two barbells, dumbbells, tricep bar, ez bar all Olympic.
Got a load of bands and matted areas and a speed bag to put up.
Not the right solution for everyone but works for me.
Edit to add all second hand bar the punch bag and speed bat

Beg to differ, I've spent under a grand (just) and put in a squat rack, bench, full length punch bag, pull up bars and over half a tonne of Olympic weights.

what are your bars rated to? how much do your dumbs and plates go up to? did you buy this over a year or in one go?Trap Bar, two barbells, dumbbells, tricep bar, ez bar all Olympic.

quick look on google - 200kg of mixed plates circa £400
Multi-rack thing from £450
£850 already
A decent bar that wont bend is £150+

I picked up 200kg of Marcy weights and the bars for £200! Met a bloke who had it all the in the back of the Range Rover. Smallish bloke and he mentioned it was his son's who's outgrown it. I was a little confused how you could outgrow Olympic stuff turns out he was on team GB and had been banned from working out on his own due to the weights he was now lifting. Was rather surprised!
Right place right time of course but that's generally how second hand stuff works if you aren't an idiot. Like I said it won't fit everyone as alot of people like going to a gym for many reasons. I like old school strength and boxing training so I'm easy.
