집근처에 $10 피트니스클럽이 작년에 생겼다. 내가 짐을 일주일에 한두번가는데, 피터랑 가족멤버쉽으로 190불정도를 와이엠씨에 내고있었는데.,, 짐을 자주 가지도 않는 나로서는 너무 많이 낸다. 물론 멤버쉽 플러스로해서 핫텁을 이용하기는 하는데.. 짐을 일주일에 두번가는건 겨울에나 갈곳이 없어서 가는것이고, 여름에는 자전거 타러 나가서 짐에 가지도 않는다. 그러다 보니..짐을 일년에 4개월정도 사용하는꼴이다. 

그래서 이번에 혼피트니스클럽으로 옮겼는데, 짐을 적당하게 이용하는 나에게는 좋다. 처음에 등록비 70불정도 별도로 들어가고, 해마다 매인터넌스비용 40불을 차지하는데, 그래서 첫해에는 별도 110불과 120불이 들어가서 230불이들어간다. 그러면  매달 19불정도 들어간다, 그리고 다음해부터는 일년에 160불을 내면 매달 13불정도 들어간다. 그래서 싸다 !! 그리고 운동하기에 불편하지는 않다. 락커를 렌트하지 않아서 불편하기는 한데, 갈때마다 타올이랑 가방을 다 챙겨서 다녀야한다.

Cheap gyms and fitness clubs in Toronto

Cheap gyms in Toronto are increasing in number, just as the grumbling over exorbitant gym fees is increasing in volume. It's a common tale: You throw down the dough for a gym membership, promising yourself you'll get your money's worth, then let that card sit in your wallet all year long. (Maybe you even thought spending all that money would motivate you to work out. You masochist, you.)

Of course, high hopes and good intentions are no match for a busy lifestyle - and heck, maybe you really are a workout junkie, but don't want to have to pay for an on-site masseuse and a raw kombucha bar when a couple of cardio machines will do just fine. Whater camp you fall into, these cheap and low-commitment gyms will help you get your butt and your bank account in shape.

Striation 6
Commitmentphobes, take note: This brand-new gym near Yonge and Davisville offers pay-as-you-go workouts: You just show up, plunk down your $6, and get to use their array of workout machines. If you actually end up following through on that vow to work out three times a week and come back 10 times in a month (for a total of $60), all subsequent workouts are free.

Hone Fitness
Billing itself as "Toronto's first $10 gym," Hone at Yonge and Isabella is already earning itself some steady buzz around town. You can either spring for the $10 monthly package, which gets you access to their 170 pieces of training equipment, or the $20 membership, which gets you unlimited tanning/massage, a 30-minute health assessment, and half-price drinks at the front cash (ooh). Mercifully, neither package requires a membership.

Fit 4 Less
Goodlife's little-sister chain of budget gyms is making inroads into the GTA, with locations in North York, Mississauga, Scarborough and one more on the way to Etobicoke. They're also making a name on a $10 monthly membership fee, which requires a one-year membership commitment; their $20 tier comes without a contract and allows transferring between family and friends.

World Gym Scarborough
World Gym is part of the sister chain to Gold's; their Scarborough location is open 24 hours and features weights and cardio machines, a basketball court, and extras like a smoothie bar and child care. They currently have a no-frills membership available at just $10 a month, and a $20 all-access tier (plus a $79 registration charge and a $19 card fee - apparently, even cheap comes at a price).

Did we miss any? Leave your favourite place to work out for $30 or less a month in Toronto in the comments.
