My cousin is a personal trainer at one of the newer clubs in our area. He himself got his membership during a scam that was being run by nearly the entire sales staff at another club. He paid $300 up front and got his membership for $16 a month after that. The salesperson kept the $300 and signed my cousin up as a family member of some unknowing member. The club he signed up at fired their entire staff about 2 months after he joined, heh.
I signed up as a family member of his for $25 a month, not bad at all. The plan usually goes for $66 or something. Until my foot gets better and I'm able to train in karate regularly again, I figure I'll hit the gym a few days a week so I don't fall too far out of shape.
