Yeah, for that price, they should be getting the whole James.

Planet Fitness for $15/month

A friend got a $30/month gym membership that has unlimited guest passes, so they bring friends. The machines are fun. I think there's classes too, but guests can't do those so I haven't.

I mean we can pick this apart in a ton of ways. $60/m on clothes? My house would be 80% plain cotton T-shirts by mass. I probably spend a bit more than that in a while year. Typically that's a carton of socks and replacing a couple pairs of pants which get damaged.

But then I probably spend like $500/m at one bar near my house.

I think my next door neighbors are not going to be thrilled to have 220kg+ deadlifts dropped above them.

Having said that, I don't spend 70 a month for the gym, and I currently have two memberships.

I wouldn’t have the space for a home gym. I could sort out the shed with a new roof, but there is no power and the walls are done for, so 35 quid a month it is.

Lots of people pay $70 a month, I was paying $200 at one point for CrossFit classes

Could be something like a YMCA which I personally prefer over a Planet Fitness when I do have a gym membership. One example of my preference for it is because mentally I can't do treadmills when running and some places I have lived before haven't bean great for running outside. Most YMCAs have an indoor track that you can run on even if it is tiny, and there are usually multiple options across town. Not many other gyms in my area with indoor tracks.

That's a really dumb example. The OP could be a swimmer in which case a more expensive YMCA membership makes even more sense then. Just as another example.
