I don’t know if the monthly single fee has gone up. It was or is about $45. I’m not sure. I don’t go often enough to make that pay for itself.

Another great example of how #s can be manipulated. You are correct that price doubled. On other side of coin it went up by $5.00. If price was $3.00 and went to $10 it would gave gone up over 300%. Like a lot of other endeavors better off getting a monthly or yearly membership. A new Planet Fitness is opening up on 441 near Billys Cafe soon. Bet they will have memberships for <$30 a month.
