Full credit for this goes to lawyerz for this, his post tipped me off to joining AIA Vitality for half price Virgin membership, and as his post expired I thought I'd breathe some life in to it and hopefully get people cheaper gym membership.
To get the deals and access AIA you need an insurance policy that gives you AIA Vitality membership. I signed up for Life Protect through RAC, for $8.38 a fortnight. I'm young, healthy, and wouldn't have got any kind of life or injury insurance so the fact I have it is a bonus, to be honest. RAC or RACQ allow you to join directly and access AIA, otherwise you can fill in a form on AIA's site and a financial adviser will get in contact with you to sort you out with a policy that includes AIA membership.
Joining AIA gives you either $400/year discount at Anytime Fitness, or 50% off at Fitness First or Virgin Active. On top of that, each time you visit the gym you get points (capped at 15k a year) and each time you do certain activities you do. For example, filling in a mental health review on Vitality gives you 600 points, or tracking your food for 7 days per quarter gives you 1200 points a quarter. These points go towards one of four levels of membership, Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum. Each one gives you access to slightly better benefits in addition to the gym memberships.

Also, if you get 250 points or more in a week through 'healthy living activities' such as going to the gym or from connecting your fitbit, you get a $7.50 Boost Juice voucher (and if you're signed up to Boost's rewards club the drinks you get through the voucher count towards the free Boost you get after every 10!).
I'm not associated with AIA Vitality at all, I just think it's a really awesome program that's saving me a ton of money.
Does anyone know if it works on the fitness first Titanium membership?
