which area? I joined fitness first, even though they only have one location (plaza 66) as they offer the most classes. i joined a 'family' package, (me and husband) and it was about 6000rmb for a year for both of us. it's also an international memberships, which means i can use any fitness first branch in the world, which is excellent if you travel a lot, as they have branches everywhere!
alexander gym is way too expensive (10000rmb) and service is the worst and the walls, ceilings and carpets are mouldy...gross
will's gym has several locations and are overall, ok, but not sure of their membership fees
physical only charges about 2000rmb per yr for membership, but i didn't join them as the staff were totally rude to me. but they also have many locations |

physical is really good, good machines and classes. esepcially great that they have seperate levels for men & women, which i prefer. i go to that one in mei luo cheng. but isn't 3000+ per year a bit expensive? that's why i'm looking for other options. |

i don't think so. can you use it any time, any day? some memberships may be cheaper, but will restrict you from using it during peak hours for example...not good, if you are working regular office hours, and can go only after or before work. Has anyone tried Mega Fit?? |

i think physical is already cheaper than Fitness first, Alexander Gym, and maybe Will's Gym. Try Megafit..or some hotel or service aprtment gyms may have packages you can buy which may or may not work out cheaper. I've heard Ambassy Club mentioned often too...try them... |

Well, as I mentioned on another thread, if you get a member to sponsor/refer you, there's a discount with Physical, when I joined with 2 other people referred by some other guy it was 2400 rmb/yr. As far as I know, it's anytime. I generally go to the people's square location myself, I like the facility better then the Xuijiahui location.
I'd be happy to refer you guys as I do get a bonus as well  |

Actually it's not me who is going to join the gym, my bf would like to join the gym, he is really a gym person. Last time he went to a gym that near Huai Hai Rd, they charge 500RMB per month, he told me that's not reasonable, and i really have no idea about this. I know that he really wants to go to the gym to work out again. I would like to know whether there is any place which is not so bad also have reasonable price. |

oh actually, i have a friend who joined physical (opposite to Gateway) some time ago and has not been once!!! she works too much!! She is looking to sell her membership at a discount. she hasn't even had time to go in to get the photo ID so all they have is a name...anyone could claim to be her, and get the card...if there is anyone interested, i can ask her for more details. |

800RMB/3months is great, good price but the location is too far away, hopefully there is one is near downtown and the price is also resonable. |

I think we paid 1900 for two people for six months at Gubei Gym. I've only used it once though...bad bad...oh and no swimming pool (you have to buy a separate membership for the pool). |

the pool at will's gym required you to wear a swim cap, or else you're not allowed to swim there. does this rule apply to other swimming pools? |

Not so sure about this one. I don't think Fitness First in Australia accept these types of memberships. |
