That cub sounds expensive, however I know that some clubs in my area
are very posh and quite expensive.  Some are dumpy looking, have pretty
good equipment and are cheaper.

There's a wonderful health/fitness club that is connected with a
hospital in San Diego and it has everything you could ever want.  It's
just a beautimus looking environment.  The only draw back is that the
lowliest membership is $400 and the monthly dues are $50.  Ouch!

I'm about to quit my club.  It's kind of a dump, but I've been a member
for a couple of years.  It's not a chain (I hate those big chains) and
it had a great swimming pool and good aqua aerobic classes in the summer.
It was never really crowded, except in the h2O aerboic classes.  But
I now have nautilus machines at work to use and I like walking on my
lunch hour.  Plus, I just bought a NordicTrack!  I like that much better
than the stair master and life cycles because it's easier on my back
and knees.

So, if you've got the money to spend on a posh club, you might just
do it for fun.  I always liked the idea of belonging to a posh club
that would pamper me.
