Fitness Connection membership starts at $10 a month. Twelve months of dues comes to $120; no national joining or annual fee is published, so treat that as the floor. All figures below come from official U.S. sources reviewed on 11 July 2026. See also every fee and discount, the complete Fitness Connection guide.
What does Fitness Connection actually cost in the first year?
Fitness Connection costs about $120 in the first year on dues alone, at $10 a month. No joining or annual fee is published nationally, so this is the floor rather than the final number. Treat this as a floor rather than a final number: Fitness Connection does not publish an annual fee nationally, so your club may add one.
| Cost component | Amount |
|---|---|
| 12 months of dues | $120 |
| First-year total | $120 |
| Calculated from the published figures above. Excludes sales tax, optional add-ons and any local promotion. Your club may differ. | |
Held at today’s published rates, three years of membership comes to about $360. Dues rarely stay flat that long, so treat this as a baseline for comparison rather than a forecast — how Fitness Connection handles price increases.
What does Fitness Connection cost per workout?
At two visits a week, Fitness Connection costs about $1.15 per workout in year one. Three times a week brings it down to $0.77, and five times a week to $0.46. This is the number that decides whether a membership beats paying per session — a gym is only cheap if you actually turn up.
| How often you go | Cost per visit, year one |
|---|---|
| Once a week (52 a year) | $2.31 |
| Twice a week (104 a year) | $1.15 |
| Three times a week (156 a year) | $0.77 |
| Five times a week (260 a year) | $0.46 |
| First-year total divided by visits. Uses the calculated first-year figure above, so joining and annual fees are included. | |

Local clubs, promotions and taxes change the final total. See our pricing methodology.
