Eastminster church on highland @ penn circle has dedicated parking and cost $15.00 per month. Its not as nice as club one but it gets the job done. Its across the street from the home depot.

They're $10/month plus another $10/yearly fee. It's clean and there's never any problem finding machines.

Wow, I never knew that. That is pretty cool.

Any insights into Club One?

Their normal membership price is $90+ per month, although I'm sure there's some negotiation room. I went in to check the place out, had sticker shock, and haven't been back since.

Yeah. 90+ per month. No couple/family discounts. And the guy who showed me around was a whack job.

Really dimly lit inside too which is weird but it bothered me.

I was a member there for years. There is the one on Penn and one in the Waterworks. You can be a member of both and I think that is $10 extra. It is a nice gym with a good pool. I can't say anything bad about it. Sauna, steam room good free weights, machines, running track and basketball court. It isn't a place to go and show off and walk around like a muscle head. More of an older set, but not all older. I would call it a less intimidating type place. The one in the Waterworks is much smaller, but very quiet and relaxing. No pool, but everything else was really nice. I went to the place in Bakery Square for a bit. A bit more muscle head stuff and more fashion conscience folks, but still nice. They have more of a lap pool (smaller), but also nice. It has a more modern feel. I like the JCC quite a bit, but went there for a sport. Everything I saw there was pretty nice though. Parking is more of a pain there however. I also have been to X-Shadyside. It had a younger feel and I don't know, not my cup of tea. I don't belong to a gym right now because I do my working out without it. I sort of miss the gym sometimes and might consider joining again. Not sure though. I would like to swim again and that limits where you can go.

The vibe is the number one reason that, despite the cost, I am still considering Club One as an option.

Never wait for equipment. A pool. Racquetball. Bball court.

You could walk in and get a free week trial membership I think.

Edit - Not 24/7. More like M-F 5-10, Sat/Sun 9-9.

i guess they jacked up rates since and you probably got the introduction rate i assume?

its now 45/mo with 99 sign up. i also heard stories of how much its a pain to leave la fitness

No, I'm half of a couples membership.

You can talk them out of the sign up fee.

Its only a pain to leave if you dont understand the contract.
