The different ways gyms charge
Prices around Lake Macquarie vary a lot, mostly because gyms are selling different things. Before comparing numbers, compare what you get.
| Type | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Open gym | Access to equipment, usually without coaching | People who already know what to do |
| Coached classes | A coach programs and runs every session | Beginners and anyone who wants structure |
| Class packs | A set number of sessions, used over a few months | Irregular schedules, shift workers, travellers |
| Casual drop-in | Pay per class, no commitment | Trying a class or visiting |
| Intro offers | A short trial at a set price | Working out if a place suits you |
The hidden costs to ask about
- Lock-in contracts: how long are you committed, and what does leaving early cost?
- Cancellation notice: how much notice, and how do you give it?
- Joining or admin fees: some places charge on top of the membership.
- Pausing: can you pause for travel, injury or a busy patch, and does it cost anything?
- What is included: is recovery, Pilates or programming extra?
