Looking for a gym to join downtown or close to it, and don't want to pay too much (I'm cheap). Arena fitness is out of the question, the YMCA is $41 a month which still seems a bit high. I know there is that World Gym and Lifestyle fitness in the 5/3 building, but not sure on the prices on those.
Anyone have any good experiences/deals they know about?

May wanna check prices on Lifestyles downtown on State. I know a lot of my friends go there and don't think they pay much.

i just joined Lifestyles in february, here are the non-discounted prices from then:
single club membership - $149 initial / $42 per month
multi-club membership - $149 initial / $52 per month
there are usually specials where you don't have to pay the initial fee (or it is reduced). they also offer corporate discounts... not sure if that would be applicable.
i'm pretty sure the world gym is really inexpensive.
just curious, what is the price for the arena district?

I live in victorian village but drive to northeast clintonville to go to Planet Fitness. Everyone there is really nice and it's only 10 bucks a month!

There are a ton of Freebies in the Health & Fitness Book that I sell for the Kids Cancer Crusade. Most of them are FREE 2 week passes.
There are 6 each for Lifestyles, Bally's and Victory's. 3 each for Arena District, Power Shack, and YWCA. There are a couple other smaller deals as well. Just about all of them are valid until the end of 2009.
You could workout for more than a year and never have to buy a membership.
There are a bunch of other stuff in there like FREE massages and tanning too. Even some 2 for 1 deals to a few vegetarian restaurants.
If you want one give me a call at 740-963-0140. They sell for just $20.

We are members at the Y and are quite happy with it. Not sure of your situation, but we pay $52/month for a household membership, so it's $26/person. Spinning, racquetball, swimming, b-ball, free aerobics classes on top of above average weights/cardio.

Check with the Gyms to see if you get an employee discont because of your employer. We got $10/month off at Lifestyle and they waived the membership fee.
My wife is going to the Arena District Athletic Club now for $55/month because of her employer discount. They've also got flat screen tv's on each piece of cardio equipment.

we're members of the Grant Fitness Center at Grant Hospital. It's on the 9th floor with a good view west of the city. We pay for a double membership, but I think a single is $48. You have to fit into certain categories, but I think living in a downtown neighborhood is one of the qualifications.
It's mainly used for as a rehab facility for cardiac patients, which somewhat perversely makes you feel healthier when you show up at the gym to try and head off future heart problems. The equipment is not the greatest, but there are never any waits, they offer classes included in the fees (spin, yoga, etc...) and there is zero attitude.

Check out Oxygen, right across from White Castle on High, by Northstar and Urban Order. I heard the membership is like $20 a month and no contract. It's small, but cheap!

Yeah, the Y seems like a good deal for a family or a couple.
I found out that I get a discount at World through my work, so I'll check that out first, and then go from there. Thanks for all the replies!

Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with Oxygen Fitness? It's $35/month for an individual, +$25 initial fee. That seems really cheap compared to the other major players around town.
