I'm planning on joining a gym near me in Kew, VIC - currently Jetts is cheapest on my list with a cheaper base rate + $0 joining fee but I prefer Anytime Fitness. I've got a trial at both at the moment.
Will Anytime Fitness match the price of Jetts if I ring them up at the end of the month?
No harm in trying
If I’m Anytime Fitness though, I wouldn’t. Generally bigger and superior gyms so can see them sticking to their guns
As teachers they did $50/m. I don't know if this is good but might be something to bargain with? They called it corporate rates.
I always price-match when I join a gym. Also, it is always better to negotiate in person with the gym manager/franchisee.
Highly doubt it you can negotiate that's about it tbh
I joined with AIA vitality (there was a post about it some time ago) - end up paying like $9 a month for life insurance and in return u can join up to anytime fitness for $59.90 a week. If you go a certain number of times every quarter AIA vitality will credit your bank account with $100. Found this to be quite a good deal?
$59.90 a week….?
Sorry a month - they also do 50% of fitness first and virgin gym memberships. How much is Jetts?
Finish your trial at Anytime Fitness and then do nothing,a couple of weeks later you will start getting sms's for discounts and after 4 or 5 months free joining fee's.(for people not doing a trial just walk in and look around)
I pay $620/year upfront at anytime fitness
Was that something they offered or you proposed?
I asked how much if I pay upfront,thats what they offered.
Which branch was this?
Modbury,then I stopped for a year,went to Arndale got the same deal
Seems to be some difference between locations, the one down the road is saying $33.90 fortnightly while the one another 1 km away is charging $29.90 fortnightly under a 18 month contract
Dont they have a deal with friend referral or something similar?
It’s possible - some gyms do negotiate. Others prefer to keep it simple and will refuse you. Doesn’t hurt to try!
