Access to thousands of Gyms for $28 a month
« on: April 03, 2024, 02:56:06 PM »
I was made aware of a program which will charge $28 monthly and give you access to 1,000s of gyms including L.A. Fitness and The Gym in Lakewood (currently priced at over $75 a month)!

This is great! Have you tried it at The Gym? Are there any limitations, on classes or on the pool?

It probably doesn’t include classes or the pool if I had to guess.

I've had this for sometime now. It is a regular membership. You just give the gym your active and fit membership number and they put it into the system and stop charging you. Everything else stays the same

Is it one membership with access to a thousand gyms or the ability to get a membership to a gym (from a list of a thousand gyms) for $28?

it seems to be the later?

It might be like one gym at a time.

See below. You get one membership number which works at all gyms. You pick a gym in the beginning, and it is not necessary to change in-order to access other gyms. Would love first hand experience though.

Not sure how you interpreted that to be apposed to what I quoted earlier from

Yes, of course. You can change fitness centers at any time. We want to make sure you find the right gym or studio for your schedule, lifestyle, and fitness preferences. Just log in, select your new Active&Fit Direct gym or studio, and reprint your fitness card if needed or save it again to your phone. Go to your new fitness center and present your Active&Fit fitness card. They will use your fitness card to verify your enrollment and then have you complete their membership agreement. Note that additional fees may apply if you switch exercise studios in the premium network.

Have AAA? Then it's $28 and eligible to receive 10% back after a full year.

This will not work anymore after July 1. Per their new policy you will only be allowed to go to 1 gym for $28 a month. If you add another gym you will only get a $5 discount. For example if the monthly for the second gym is $30, you will have to pay an extra $25 a month on top of the $28. A lot of people are pissed about this but the policy doesn't seem to be changing. I canceled mine since the gym I go the most is $20 monthly.

I researched how it works, basically they pay the gym you visit based on the day. For example today you visit gym 1, tomorrow gym 2, they each get a dollar per day I think, something in those terms.

Does this still work for the gym in Lakewood? It’s not on the list on the website.
