After two years, I want to get back into a gym. Getting prices out of some 
of them over the phone (Peak Fitness, I'm looking at you) is ridiculously 
difficult. So, if you don't mind helping out so I can avoid at least some of 
the hard-sell bullshit they pull, I'd appreciate it. Obviously, university 
gyms aren't relevant here, since I'm not affiliated with a university at 
all.

1. How much do you pay monthly for your gym membership? If you pay yearly, 
how much for a year?
2. Was there a joining fee?
3. What's the minimal membership your gym offers? E.g., Peak's corporate 
site says they offer a three-day-a-week plan, but the manager at the 
downtown one told me it wasn't available. I'm not thinking of going to Peak, 
believe me (I used to work at that location when it was Capital Fitness and 
have heard only horrid things about Peak's business practices since they 
bought it), but was curious if other gyms offer something similar.

Thanks in advance.
