People still pay money to join a gym??
Pay to go but not to join.
Could you elaborate on that for people who never go to a gym but are curious?
Plenty of gyms that offer pay as you go rather than upfront and fortnightly direct debits.
Ooooow, no contracts then? I might check that out, thanks!
Can you name a few of these 24 hour gyms that have no joining fee and card fee when you sign up?
@Orpheus: They usually offer it to foundation members when a new gym is about to start up. Then you can just use your card at your nearest branch.
No joining fee because it has transformed to club access fee =D
This probably covers the cost of supplying and setting up the access card I assume you need for 24hr access?
No Joining Fee
"a one-off “Club Access Fee” of $59 applies and is payable upon joining."
Sounds like a joining fee to me…
-ve vote for misleading advertising…
Usually you have to pay the $59 and $89 upon joining.
They actually don't have discretion to waive either fee usually (from my own experience), so if you're wanting to join your local Jetts then I do think this is a good time to do it.
I don't know whether Jetts is worse value than other budget 24hr gyms - but in my case, if I wanted to join a gym that would be my choice because it's the only one near me.
I go to Snap Fitness at Redcliffe QLD and they haven't had a "joining fee" for ages. They offer I think 3 different joining packages which include the 24 hour access card and depending on how much you spend, a lot of other stuff. I think the cheapest package is $49 and you get an access card, free group training sessions and a consult with a PT.
Their price is also cheaper at $12.95 per week
This is what is always offered if asked for, or even if not asked for.
And also.. what Jv said.
This is a marketing/bait ploy, and not a genuine bargain.
Are you sure? I have tried before and they refused to waive either fee… I didn't end up joining, I was inquiring because I was considering it. All they could offer was to give me a free drink bottle which looked like it was worth 20c.
hmm.. I went into 3+ Jetts over a couple of months (to try and get zero fees) and without much hassle they waived the $89.
They wouldn't waive all fees so I didn't join.
Don't see how they would expect someone to pay $150 to join.. but i guess some people do.
Its 89 joining and 59 card. Usually always get the joining fee waived but they dont budge on the card
Not really a bargain. Waiving the joining fee and charging you an access fee is common marketing ploy amongst gyms. I'm looking at you Anytime Fitness.
All 24 hour gyms charge you for the access card. It doesn't cost near as much to make the card as they charge you though.
I consider it part of their sign up fee. There is no way I would pay both fees. I'm disinclined to pay for another card. I can go to my other 24 hour gym which I've already bought the card for.
what is jetts? Also title says its free but details in post talks about fees. Im confused now.
