>get bored of home gym >decide to look for local gyms >all memberships are minimum $20/week
What the fuck? you guys actually spend $1000+ per year on gym memberships?
I'm in Ausfag, but I didn't know it was that expensive. I spent around $5000 on my equipment at gym (full power rack, bench, barbell 300kg plates, 10kg - 50kg pairs of DBs) and I thought that was a lot.....turns out it actually wasn't that much. Ive already had home gym for 3 years so its almost paid itself off already according to these fucking membership costs in Australia, fuck sake. Now Im suddenly not so bored of lifting at home, fuck lifting at a gym paying that much per year.
I've been to 3 different Brisbane gyms in the past 2 years and not one of them was over $20 a week.
Blake Morris
Melbourne :(
Jacob Wilson
Dont forget the cost in time and fuel it takes to actually go to and from gyms if you drive.
Leo Bennett
Yeah I forgot bout that. I guess Id be washing more clothes as well, so more electricity/water usage as well.
And my brother does come over to lift in my home gym 5+ times a week and I often have friends lifting here when theyre around.
I guess thats something you cant do at a normie gym
Samuel Carter
Zap fitness is like $22 a fortnight if you have it in your state fellow aus bro
Jackson Wood
I pay $6.99 per week at Derrimuts
Colton King
No derrimutts near me. No zap fitness near me.
Jordan Richardson
home gym is my dream, why would you ever get bored of it?
Christopher Davis
>$20 a week the fuck cunt I live in Brisbane and the only ones over $20 are Goodlife My one is only 30 a month
Landon Flores
Where the fuck do you live? Malmsbury or some shit?
Thomas Reed
>melbourne Too much soy drives the need for a gym waaay down, hence the costly membership.
Aiden Lee
I live out in Ipswich and go to a jetts for 12 a week.
Owen Reyes
$5000 is a lot of gym equipment, you could get equipped for a lot less if you look around/get used shit. You could do sub $2000, potentially by a lot.
The average gym membership for about a year is close to that, I live in Melbourne as well. It's a complete fucking rort. Even as a beginner its borderline worth buying gym equipment if you have the space, if you quit later down the line you can still sell it and it will be cheaper.
Juan Lopez
>hurr gyms are cheap in hickville
Elijah Rivera
It cost me $1100 AUD for a decent home gym
Luke White
Gyms in Melbourne probably have rent that costs them 5x as much as it does in Brisbane.
Oliver Brown
>being this poor I actually feel bad for you.
Aaron Anderson
>own a home in Melbourne near cbd >have $5000 home-gym
Im not poor, i just don't see the value in renting gym equipment for $1000/year.
Justin Baker
I was thinking of investing in a home gym. What brand did you buy? Is Rogue worth the extra money or should I go with the cheaper off-brand stuff? Should I use iron, rubber, or bumper plates? Just general advice pls
Jordan Price
Where the fuck did you buy your stuff? I've looked around and the the bare necessities (200kg plates, oly barbell, squat stands and bench) never runs less than $2000 unless I get shitty stuff that has a weight rating of 120kg
Alexander Jenkins
Mines all rogue stuff.
Rogue rack, rogue powerbar, rogue iron plates (1 set of bumpers), and a bunch of the rogue hex dbs.
Hence why it cost me so much.
If I went with generic brand stuff I'd have probably saved 1-2k. The rogue stuff is very thicc. My old man helped me put it together, he is a tradesmen, he was very impressed by the welding/bolts that rogue use.
Aiden Nguyen
How many months in a year do you think there are?
Easton Thomas
my gym is 25 bucks a week lol
Leo Morgan
Stop living in Melbourne then
Henry Bailey
Move to Brisbane faggot For $18 a week my gym has: >4 olympic lifting platforms , 2 smith machines >2 full ranges of dumbells >A fuck ton of machines >A fucking altitude room >A big dance hall thing for cardio bunnies to do meme exercises in >A room for spin classes >2 saunas and a hydro massage bed thing
Nathan Evans
euro/ausfags have ridiculous prices, my gym is 10$ a month and I shower there everyday for free.
Also I made a homegym for 500$ by buying used stuff so I can homegym when im tol lazy to leave my house.
Hunter Murphy
I'm fortunate that my workplace has a free gym. The most underrated perk by far since hardly anyone goes.
Caleb Morris
what gym and where
Grayson Wright
ahahahahaaahahahahahaha
Austin Howard
>my gym is 10$ a month and I shower there everyday for free
Please don't tell me you're talking about Planet Fitness
Jordan Hughes
do we even have planet fitness in australia?
Ian Jackson
Depends. 20$ a week is expensive. Right now I pay ~ 40€ a month. We have a gym line in Germany which is 20€/month. If you want to work out with lowlifes an never do benchpress because they are constantly hogging it, you can go there
Jordan Gonzalez
Zyzz died for preventing Planet Fitness to get a foothold in straya
Christopher Torres
400 here. They moved everyone to some weekly plan that costs more but the staff at my gym keep me on their legacy yearly plan which costs less.
Feels alright. I could have saved up for a home gym by now but hot showers are alright.
Logan Foster
Snap Fitness Buranda
Adrian Harris
>doesn't have a hot shower at home
Isaiah Rivera
you'll probably go a bit out of the city to find a decently priced gym, i'm near geelong and pay $25/month
$17 a week, got about 6 racks for a pretty small gym and an EP who's helped a lot. Could've gone with one that is $11 a week but it's a shithole with 1 rack.
Seriously thinking about a home gym now that I have the space. how much would just a rack, bench and barbell/plates be?
Austin Sullivan
It depends what brand you go with
Generic rack, generic barbell, generic plates = Prob cost you about $1-2k.
High end brand stuff, 3k+
The high end brands aren't a meme in this case, the quality of rogue builds are fucking mint, where as the generic brands are almost always sus china shit.
Logan Howard
$10/week at lifetime fitness, for everything I could ever possibly need and much more
Nathan Smith
Tasmania here.
Shit's fucked down here as well.
Melbourne prices with Sydney style asians and local depressed economy.
Also fuck UniGym.
Brayden Nelson
Who's that Campbell lid. Some raaoc ranger no doubt.
Brandon Taylor
I helped my local gym owner set up when he first moved in to town. My membership is free until may, and there’s a good chance it will be extended after that. Also, home gyms are nice, but most people just won’t work out at home. Paying a monthly membership and leaving the house to work out are great motivators to keep up a routine.
Josiah Watson
How is having to go outside a great motivator? If I had a comfy homegym I would train more often because packing shit going out and going back takes a lot of time
Benjamin King
because you payed for it
John Parker
Jesus Christ. Let’s break out the math for this asshole. >estimated minimum of 20 dollars a week >this equals a minimum of 80 dollars a month >12 months in a year >12*80 = 960. If the estimated minimum amount is 960 a year, then it makes sense to assume that most people are paying more, since not everyone is going to be paying for bottom tier memberships, hence 1000+ dollars a month. >tl;dr there are 12 months in a year and you are shittarded.
Aiden James
You also paid for your homegym...
Asher Scott
he died for our sins
Christopher Hughes
>snap kek
Adrian Bennett
the gym where i go to in croydon is connected to a pool and a sauna and its only $15 a week, where you at?
Wyatt Morales
with a gym membership you paid for 'time' to use the equipment that motivates some people [spoiler]I have a comfy homegym its pretty good[/spoiler]
Eli Bell
>paying rent to lift
lol no wonder you guys own nothing in your life
>renting house >renting car >renting gym
fucking how about you save up and buy something for once you impatient fucks
the way youse a going now youll end up with nothing
Julian Butler
You pay a monthly membership for your home gym? A membership that can not be returned or resold? Fuck, it sounds like you’re being ignorant just for shits and giggles.
Sebastian Parker
This is projection.
Jackson Robinson
Nigger please. I’m not going to buy a plane just so I can air travel. I bought a home and a couple of cars. I’m not dedicating an entire room or floor of my house for all the equipment I want/ need. I get that it’s a hobby for some though. I really do.
Brody Clark
LOL HE PROBABLY RENTS HIS PROTEIN POWDER
Hudson Sullivan
Gym in my area is $65 a month. Found a deal for 5-85lb 2 of each used hex dumbbells for $925. Should I get them, Veeky Forums?
Camden Barnes
I'm a Canadian living in Adelaide Australia. If you have friends that lift and you go to the YMCA gym you can go on a family plan with 2 or more people. Only costs $26 a fortnight
Nathaniel Butler
No
Levi Anderson
Not a bad deal for the dumbbells, but you could just buy a pair of adjustable dumbbell handles and some plates to go on them (google it). Way more space/money efficient IMO.
Blake Lewis
>f you have friends that lift and you go to the YMCA gym you can go on a family plan with 2 or more people. Only costs $26 a fortnight And marry your bro as well, it's legal now.

Landon Garcia

Jayden Garcia

Isaiah Morris
Fucking auscam, why does it look so ridiculous?
Luis Miller

Cameron Ortiz
Dont forget you're paying with space, imagine what you'd save in rent if u moved to an apartment with 1 less room
Sebastian Rodriguez
Anyone got any decent gyms on the Gold Coast? Southport Sharks is the closest to me and it's fucking trash
Cooper Adams

Jason Cooper
Apparently they are. But please, tell us about how living in a Libshit metropolis with ungodly high prices for everything is superior.
