What does a gym really cost in the first year?

The advertised monthly price is only part of it. TrueGymCost adds the joining fee and the annual fee to twelve months of dues, so you can compare gyms by what you will actually pay, with the source and the date of every price.

A plan advertised at $15 a month with a $29 joining fee and a $49 annual fee costs $258 in its first year, not $180.

How we check a price

We read each gym’s own website, and for chains the club’s own page on the chain’s site, up to the screen that shows the plan and its fees. Every number on this site must appear, word for word, on that page, or it is not published. A gym that publishes no price says so; an estimate is always labelled.
