Is it? Lots of big-city gyms have memberships of $200/month or more. That's $2400 right there before you get into equipment, clothing, 1:1 coaching, sports massage, perhaps competitions, potentially travel.
(And I'm not even talking about big-ticket sports like golf, horse-riding, racing cars, etc.)
- rjh29 2y agoIn the UK I spend $30/month for the gym. Never heard of them costing that much.
- hilux 2y agoMaybe it depends where you live and what you're looking for in a gym. I used to do BJJ, which is a popular adult sport. I just googled: london bjj My top hit was for Roger Gracie, which costs £179/month.
- n4r9 2y agoBJJ is a notoriously expensive martial art, and Gracie franchises especially so. For something like Taekwondo, Judo, or Karate you're looking at more like £80-100 per month for 2-3x weekly classes. And for a lot of team sports it'll be considerably less. I competed both in Taekwondo sparring and ultimate frisbee as a student, and both were easy to do on the cheap. Also I think OP was confused by what you meant by "gym". In the UK that normally refers just to a place with weights and cardio machines. One of the most popular chains is Pure Gym which is typically around £30 per month: https://www.puregym.com/city/central-london/ https://www.puregym.com/city/central-london/ We've just signed up to a more expensive gym with a pool, spa, sauna, etc..., but it's still around £160 per month for us as a family in South-West London.
