Ways to cut the cost without cutting the workout

Off-peak memberships are typically 20 to 30% cheaper than full access and cover most people's actual usage, worth asking about if you mainly train mornings or midweek daytime.
Some employers and health insurance policies include discounted or free gym membership as a benefit, check with HR before you pay full price.
Running, bodyweight training and outdoor workouts are free and can cover a lot of the same fitness goals as a gym membership if cost is the main barrier.
Many gyms will offer a lower rate or a pause option if you call to cancel, worth asking before you commit to leaving, especially if you're on a rolling monthly contract.

How cost per visit is calculated

Your weekly visit frequency is converted to an average monthly figure (visits per week × 52 ÷ 12, since months aren't all exactly 4 weeks), then your monthly membership fee is divided by that number to get your real cost per visit, a number that gets a lot less flattering the less often you actually go. The same average is used to work out what pay-as-you-go pricing would cost you at your current visit frequency, and the break-even point shows how many visits a month you'd need for the membership to beat pay-as-you-go on price.
