Gym Membership

[RossP]

Just looking to see if anyone has information on prices for Cannons and JJB? As they don't have price lists on their site, and I don't have the patience at the moment to sit through their "positive selling" techniques, just to find out a price.

I'm looking for off peak times i.e before 4.30pm, as I can get in before then since I finish work at 3.35pm each day.

I'm also an Aberdeen City Council employee so think that gets you a discount?

Any information is greatfully received.

Im £26 a month off peak at JJB, don't think you'll beat that at Cannons. JJB has pretty much everything you need and isn't to busy at off peak times. I've found even Sat and Sun isn't to busy during the day. You should beat the rush if your going for an hour after work.

I understand that on off peak, as long as I get there before 4.30pm, I doesn't matter what time I leave? As I was hoping to put in a few 4pm-6pm shifts a week. Does that work?

Can you also go at the weekend on off peak?

Planning to phone them in a few days...

Never done it, usually go in the morning, but can't see them searching about for people to tell them to get out! If your in from 4-5 you'll be fine anyway, 2 hours can be a fair shift Yeah you can go anytime Sat and Sun on off peak.

Cannons is about £55 pm, not sure if thats peak or off peak.

JJB is £26 pm off peak

Off peak means you can go from 8am to 4pm and stay until 5pm at the latest and all day from 8am to 8pm on sunday

there is no joining fee just now all you pay is for the rest of this month + next months membership

if you did it tomorrow youd pay about £40 - 15 for rest of this month + 26 for next month

I've worked for both City and Shire councils, and I'm fairly sure that if you look on the Intranet sites (is it still The Zone for the City Council?) it will tell you if you can get a discount and where. I know there is definitely a discount at City Council operated gyms, so they may well not offer one for private gyms, but the one down at the beach isn't too bad, if cheapness is what you're looking for, but it was fairly busy when I went after work.

i've used the gym at the patio hotel and it's pretty good, just throwing that out there.

It is an excellent gym because it's so quiet compared to everywhere else, yet still has a decent range and number of machines. Also, it is definitely not a poser's gym. I've heard it is more expensive than JJB, but less so than Canons. I was there at 4pm yesterday and there were 5 people in the whole place. Student peak membership is £37 pm. I don't know about full-price off-peak costs, but it can't be much more than that. There is also a swimming pool, sauna, steam room etc and your membership also entitles you to free participation in the classes they offer. Hope that helps.

i got a block of 10 sessions for my birthday and i've used a few of them. like you say, decent machines and the place is pretty quiet. once my block runs out i'd definitely consider joining.
