Finding a cheap gym in California

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might sign up for a gym that won't cost me an arm and a leg? I'm a "starving" (haha) student, and can't afford to pay $60/month for Golds or $40/month for 24 hr or LA Fitness, along with a big lump sum down. I appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Krissy

How about your local junior college? Over here, Mt San Antonio College in Walnut has an excellent phys ed dept. I have taken aerobics and walking (yep walking!!!) - they have excellent facilities and very passionate instructors.

Hello,

I workout at Fitness 19 it costs $19.99 per month!!! I great price the only downside is no showers, or pool...which works perfect for me....also try lyour ocal YMCA ~ they have great prices and you could even work there Part-time and a get a free membership ~ good luch in your search

Best,

YMCA?

Humm,

If I were in your shoes, I would find me a nice used bike in a garage sale, buy me a new helmet and ride the bike path everyday for one hour.

Get a matt pilates tape and do some stretching/calistenics

Haha not many bike paths here in Hollywood. ;-)

And I actually used to work for the YMCA but had a major falling-out with the people, and so now I refuse to patronize them.

I'm considering getting some DVDs (good idea, thanks!), and in the meantime I just found out that CSUN - aka my school - has a full gym and pool and you can buy a day pass for 3 bucks.

Thanks for the advice and concern, you guys. :)

Walk around the rosebowl in Pasadena, it is free, you will find tons of people. 

Buy a Bike at Walmart, keep it for a couple of years, $50.00 plus tax.   pedal around the park(dont forget the helmet for another $20)

Buy a couple of dumb bells at $15.00 each, and tension bands for the legs and arms for another $50.00 and you got the basics for weight lifting.

This gym will last you for at least 5 years at a dollar per month after salvage value!
