Annual math

  • You’ll pay $600/year total.
  • You expect ~104 visits.
  • Paying drop-in for the same number of visits would cost $1,560.
Hidden cost reminder: include initiation fees, annual maintenance fees, locker fees, and personal-trainer surcharges. Most chains tack on $50–200 worth of dues you don’t see in the headline monthly rate.

What it does

Cost per visit, break-even visits, and yearly savings vs drop-in pricing. Includes annual fees and dues so the number reflects what you’re actually paying — not the headline monthly rate. The verdict tells you whether the membership is a clear win, reasonable, or worse than buying day passes as you go.

Be honest about realistic visits per week. The average gym member visits twice a week, so anything you input above three has to clear a credibility check before you trust the verdict.
