Memberships can cost as much as $150 a month for month to month or as much as $1200 per year for a year contract. Month to month will usually allow you to cancel anytime but is much more expensive than the year contract. The problem with the year contract if broken will come with penalties. This can get pretty high.
The fine print on your membership payment form will cost you. Many gyms charge an initiation fee (or a wear and tear fee) averaging about $100 in addition to payments.
The other high cost of gym memberships are the hidden ones. Most gyms charge extra for the classes, rock walls, and the child sitting while you workout. These are not always mentioned at the time you sign up.
Another draw back to the gym world is the constant waiting for the equipment or the classes being too full. Many classes and gym equipment require sign up and even then you are not guarantied to get what you want. This can be very frustrating as time is valuable. Speaking of time, you have to drive to the gym, park, get to the equipment you want and hopefully it is available. You then have to get into the locker room and fight for the sink or mirror before you hit the road again to drive back home. An hour workout has now turned into a two hour minimum.
Workout at home. There are so many good reasons. Buy your equipment once and it is yours with no hidden fees or waiting.

As far as home gyms and exercise equipment go, Soloflex is one of the best products available at any price. That price, it turns out, is quite reasonable as well. I bought a Soloflex Muscle Machine back in the ‘80s, and it was one of the single best investments I have ever made in my entire life. The quality standards these machines are built to are supreme. The only thing that could possibly ever break or wear out, in my opinion, would be the weight straps. I remember the first one I broke, a 5 lb. strap on the Butterfly attachment, I felt like Hercules or something. It was almost like a badge of accomplishment or something. How long is the warranty on the weight straps these days?
