I pay $77 a month and it has just about everything one could want. Fuzo pays $30, where he goes, and he is pretty particular. It has to have what he is used to or he will go somewhere else. I think if you find a place that has what you need, and isn't oevrcrowded when you go, then it is worth the extra money if it is more. A gym with all the fluff, that you may not even use isnt worth paying extra money for. I say the least you can pay the better, but it has to fit all your needs. Cleanliness is a big factor for me as well as being able to get in and out of there in the amount of time you have to workout. If you have to wait around to do things then that isnt the place to be.
