hahahahhahahahahaha... actually I shouldn't laugh, I wish it were true
. Our uni gym is more expensive than most, simply because they can charge more purely based on convenience.
http://www.latrobe.edu.au/sara/assets/d ... 013371.pdfSo basically before you can even use the gym you have to pay for a sports centre membership. You pay $50 for a 3 month
membership. What does this entitle you to? Well good sir, it means that you can pay membership prices to use the gym. These work out to $65 for a 12 visit pass, or if you go 3 times a week $16.20, if you go 4 times a week, ~$22 and make sure to add $4.25 a week for the membership cost.
tl:dr 4x week = $26
Ok still not a shitload, but over a month that's ~$100, a shit ton more expensive than UK prices. Although there is still cheaper gyms, generally they are off campus though. Minigin for home stuff you also don't really need the top picture & can find decent packages of bar, weights and a bench press for like $500. (you can go ultra cheap from ebay though too) You will pick up a lot of tips/hints etc from going to a gym though.
