A major deterrent for most people not having a membership gyms are the PRICES! I’ve worked at Washington Sports Club, had a membership at World Gym, and met with a couple of membership consultants with all having one thing in common, high prices. Typically gyms have a high enrollment fee ($100+) and a monthly fee typically (50+), with everything added that accounts to approximately $700 plus. The World Gym Express in Upper Marlboro on the other hand is currently offering a special in which it is $80 enrollment with a $10 a month charge for 1 year with a $40 club enhancement fee. For a year it’s approximately a $240 investment towards your health. In the actual gym the equipment is mediocre (outdated) all enclosed in a small area. It has a shower, fitness food and drinks mini shop, and a stretching area with all the accessory equipment but not well put together. BUT! they are about to having major renovations underway with plans of expansion in which 70% should be completed by January 2010 and available to all members.
I’m not too sure how long this special is going to last since it’s only applied to first time visitors so I’d say that if you LIVE IN THIS AREA that you should consider this if you want to embark on a new workout routine. The major benefit that this gym offers is it being 24hrs from Monday to Friday, so it eliminates the excuse of not having a place to workout when you have the “feeling” to. I personally recommend this gym as a great start up place that can turn into a worth while investment.
