Got an email from Derrimut 24:7 Gym, been looking for a new membership for a while, saw their deal for $299 a few months back but now this is here, they had a similar deal back during covid times so $249 sounds about the lowest for the past few years, tried email and ask for no admin fee but no luck!

Anyway this is what the membership gets you (from the site)

  • Access all Derrimut 24:7 Gyms Australia wide!
  • 24:7 access (no additional fee)
  • Group fitness classes
  • Other features* eg. Saunas, Basketball Courts, Rocking Climbing Walls
  • Personal Trainers available at selected gyms
  • Fully stocked Supplement Superstore
  • 12 Month Minimum Membership*
  • $59 admin fee applies

Seems like the best value deal, I don't know how I have friends who pay like $25 a week for the gym lol

      It's on Kessels Rd but is a fair distance away from Garden City. The building used to by Anytime Fitness but it was changed to Derrimut a couple of years ago.

  • Andrew1232 on 12/11/2022 - 13:59

    FYI, previously it was $299+59 admin, so only a $50 discount, full price is meant to be $749 but it's almost always on sale.

    • pennypincher98 on 12/11/2022 - 14:02

      full price is meant to be $749

      It says $9/week, 9*52 = $468. No idea how full price can be more expensive than that.

      • Andrew1232 on 12/11/2022 - 14:07

        The not on sale price. If you scroll down on their website you can see $749 for the year.

        • pennypincher98 on 12/11/2022 - 14:26
          +6

          Yeah I can see that, but it's just marketing bullshit so they can provide a higher percentage off. No one is going to pay more per year than per week.
          Saw in a previous deal it used to be $399 full price which is more reasonable.

          Still a good deal, but basing it off $749 just makes the deal murkier.

  • pennypincher98 on 12/11/2022 - 14:00

    Thumbnail saying $199 12 month upfront membership really doesn't do much for your "$249 is the lowest price in years" lol

    11 months ago was $199 + $49. Now $249 + $59.

    • AndrewMTG on 12/11/2022 - 14:06

      Really where? Send deal i would've got that lmao

    • Ulysses31 on 12/11/2022 - 18:48

      It was $199 + $49 just over 12mths ago.

      Source: I bought it.

      • pennypincher98 on 12/11/2022 - 19:49

        You must've signed up on this one. It was repeated not long after.

        • Ulysses31 on 18/11/2022 - 09:23

          • pennypincher98 on 18/11/2022 - 10:57

            @Ulysses31: Then that's almost 18 months ago, which is a bit different to just over 12 months.

            • Ulysses31 on 18/11/2022 - 20:06

              @pennypincher98: It was a guess. Does it matter?

                @Ulysses31: Well i meant i haven't seen it for $199 this year sooo. Cuz I would've got this ages ago otherwise!

    Has anyone received an understandable answer when asking exactly what the admin fee covers?

    $59 for admin seems a little excessive - that's a 2 to 3 hours work being charged for every person who joins.

    • liam2040 on 12/11/2022 - 14:53

      akin to a real estate agent spending 6 weeks full time to sell your house … we know that's not the case. What're gonna do?

      $59 covers that they press a button on the computer to say you’re in

    • toxicpuffle on 12/11/2022 - 20:25

      Other places I’ve seen say their admin fee (also around a similar ridiculous amount) is supposedly for the cost of providing the key card/fob for access :/

      Yes. Unfortunately.

      • BargainDoubter on 13/11/2022 - 02:41

        Ticking the "active" box and entering in your new contract end date is at least 30 seconds of work.

    They drop the price every month to drain people til they hit the cheap ass people.

    It pissed off so many people.

    But now in SA, Ryderwear is opening everywhere and Revo! So alot more options, so Derrimuts is gonna struggle to hold people esp with the dodgy marketing tactics which piss members off.

        Hey! I waited til $300 bahaha, they told me they wouldn't drop it further! Then 2 weeks after they drop it!

        They lie, that's what pisses me off.

        As they from the price they just get different markets, some people go $250 for gym alrite I'll sign up even if they never use it. But most those won't pay $400, that's what I meant.

    • RnO on 12/11/2022 - 16:28
      +2

      Yep absolutely agree with their tactics pissing off people. I used to be a member at the Derrimut gym next to my house. Then they jacked up the annual prices by over double for current members and only offered their "promo prices" to new customers only. I know quite a few people who ended up going elsewhere. Not sure what there current full prices are but I remember seeing it going up to $700+ per year at some stage. Sure it's not as much as other gyms but for a gym that offers " a no thrills" approach, it's terrible marketing for sure!

      • [Deactivated] on 12/11/2022 - 16:31

        Now they even let you top up!

        Makes me think they're gonna go under, but mean while the bike owner will keep his cash!

        There's alot of comp on SA now, Ryderwear does $10 a week and no contracts!

        Revo has alot in the north east, so when mine runs out I'll see what happens.

  • Trying2SaveABuck on 12/11/2022 - 17:30

    that admin fee is bullshit it should only be for new members not for resigning members just a shifty cash grab - still a good deal and a good value gym but that admin fee is crap

    • AndrewMTG on 12/11/2022 - 18:21
      +4

      Real but again other gyms do it too it's a systemic issue

      • pennypincher98 on 12/11/2022 - 19:54

        A lot of gyms negate the fees for new sign-ups if you ask/haggle.

        Then again, it still only comes to $5.92/week. I'm paying $9/week at Crunch (paid no joining fees etc) and figure that's alright for Sydney especially.

        • chickenchipsgravy on 12/11/2022 - 20:30

          How is crunch? I see every fortnight their sign on fee fluctuates… this fn $15, last fn $9, $29 prior etc. plus scummy $45 annual up keep fee?? Lulwot

            +1

            @chickenchipsgravy: The gym themselves are pretty good - modern and plenty of equipment and space. Showers work, toilets flush. Yeah. I got a discount from showing student ID that negated the sign on fee and gave lower rate. Think the annual fee is $39 for me?

            Not a fan of annual fee but works out as 75¢ per week for me. Might be different in Melbourne but not many gyms under $10/week in Sydney.

  • vinni9284 on 12/11/2022 - 17:32

      Yeah it's common with other gyms membership paid upfront if you cancel early that just means you cut off access to the gym so might as well let it run out itself

    I won't join this just because of the admin fee. I'd rather they raise the price and not mention the admin fee.

    Admin fee for a new customer just tells me that as a new customer, i'm a hassle and habe to pay an admin fee for them to serve me.

    No thanks!

          Because $249 is to much already?

  • hashish on 12/11/2022 - 20:25

    They never charged admin fees for 12month memberships, only direct debits.
    Ever since covid hit, the owner jacked up the prices and started charging the admin fee for everyone.
    They didnt do any deals for a while, but now are back to doing it every month or so.

    Even with the stupid/pointless admin fee, derrimut is still cheaper than every other gym.

  • William Lee on 13/11/2022 - 00:00

    How long can you put a membership on hold?
    I can see it says 2-4 weeks with 7 day notice but can you do multiple. Has anyone tried or know.

    Oh just read above comment that upfront can't be put on hold…

    Wonder if they clean the toilets / changerooms more than once a week now post-Covid?

    The Derrimut I attended for a while (Newcomb, VIC) was a complete disgrace. Filthy. Cheap 'n' nasty sums up these gyms.
