Aussie budget gym hits Kiwi shores

[Draft]

Check out this article

$23.94 a month?

Any idea what sorta equipment they would provide for that price?

From the picture the gear looks good. Price is low becasue they carry very few staff.

Nah man that article's wrong. I've got one of their rate cards and it's $23.95 FORTNIGHTLY. The reporter made a fcukup. Jetts is probably kicking someones arse right now fielding people wanting a $24 membership.

The cheapest rate they do is $19.95 FORTNIGHTLY per family member if you join as a family (not sure how many people that entails).

Plus a $99 Initiation fee (I assume this is just another name for spending 5 minutes with you showing you were the changing rooms and lat pull down machine is as with most gyms), and a $25 fee for your membership card, plus some sort of gay-arse last months fee whatever that is. Doesn't sound too Budget to me.

It is fortnightly.They also charge $1.50 per direct debit transaction.It seems to be quite cheap would be worth investigating at the least I just hope they come down to Dunedin

Shit, nice catch.

That is a pretty big fuckup on the reporters part. Though I just re-checked the article. It has been changed now.

$17.95 a Fortnight in QLD

no where as cheap as Crichton Cobbers $30 per month.

Including free classes

It's pretty cheap for a 24hour gym membership plus no contracts so you can cancel your membership whenever.

I spoke to one of the p.t's - dumbells only go up to 40kg I think and they don't have any olympic bars. All hammerstrength machines.

If its sufficient for your training goals then have a look, me personally I use an olympic bar most workouts - mainly for trunk twists lol

they don't have any olympic bars

Well thats a writeoff then.

The fitness manager in the article maybe should take some time in the gym herself. Not exactly a good representation for your business.

It will be interesting to see if they come this far south (Dunedin)

[frogie2001]

sounds good. price will hopefully bring all the local gyms price down to compete

[nemesis]

not so sure MOST gyms need to reduce there prices to be fair? maybe the big francises could do with a rev up, but from what i gather, most private operations don't exactley make heaps as it is?

I hope this doesn't take too much away from the good gyms that are close to the edge already? Theres been a few close down in the past couple of years.

Sounds pretty similar membership fees to Snap Fitness Centres which are a subsidary of the Quest Group. They have one 24 hour gym in CHC with similar "health club" facilities. It has been pretty popular from all accounts. I did hear that Jetts were going to do around 30 gyms in NZ.
