Quick answer
The cheapest Anytime Fitness membership is usually a 12- or 24-month contract signed during a $0 enrollment promo. Employer and insurance rates can go lower still.
Month-to-month is almost never the cheapest option. Instead, it’s the most flexible one, and clubs price that flexibility in.
Anytime Fitness, the 24/7 gym franchise, doesn’t publish one national price. Each club owner sets rates, which is why two gyms 15 minutes apart can quote very different numbers.

How much does an Anytime Fitness membership cost?
Anytime Fitness says the average membership costs about $53 a month. Reported US dues run from roughly $30 on long contracts to $70 on month-to-month plans.
But that’s dues only. Add an enrollment fee of $0 to $99, a key fob fee of $20 to $50 and, at some clubs, an annual fee. The full breakdown sits on our Anytime Fitness membership price guide.
Why the Anytime Fitness membership cost near me is different
Every club is independently owned, so the owner picks the price. Rent, local wages and competing gyms nearby push that number up or down.
Extras matter, too. A club with tanning, hydromassage, an infrared sauna or group training rooms usually charges more than a basic club with only weights and cardio.
So searching “cost near me” won’t give you a real number. The club’s own page on the official gym finder, or a phone call during staffed hours, is the only reliable quote.
Eight ways to get the cheapest Anytime Fitness membership
Some of these save $5 a month. A couple can save more than $100 in year one. Then stack as many as your club allows.
Join during a $0 enrollment promo
Anytime Fitness runs a “$0 Enrollment” offer at participating clubs for new customers only. Skipping a $49 to $99 enrollment fee is the biggest one-time saving you’ll get.
Pick a longer contract, but only if you’ll stay
A 12-month plan often costs $5 to $15 less a month than month-to-month. Over a year that’s $60 to $180, which you lose fast if you pay a buyout after moving.
Ask your employer about a corporate rate
For example, company rates can be much lower. Washington County, Utah staff were offered $24.99 a month at a St. George club, with enrollment and key card fees of $19.99 each.
Check your health insurance and senior programs
Anytime Fitness says insurance discounts exist at participating locations. Some clubs also accept SilverSneakers, so check that program’s location search before paying full price.
Ask for a student, senior or military rate
However, these discounts aren’t national. Ask the club manager in person, bring ID, and ask if the discount lasts for the whole contract or only the first few months.
Pay with HSA or FSA money
Anytime Fitness points to a $15 virtual consult with Dr. B for a Letter of Medical Necessity. If approved, pre-tax HSA or FSA money can cover dues, which cuts the real cost.
Add a second member
For couples, joint plans can be the cheapest Anytime Fitness membership per person at clubs that offer them.
The second person usually pays less, like the $19.99 add-on rate in the Utah example, so two people often pay less than two single plans.
Negotiate the one-time fees
Monthly dues rarely move, though. Enrollment and admin fees are different, and managers sometimes waive them, mostly during promo periods. After all, the worst answer is no.

Fees that make a cheap membership expensive
A low monthly price can hide costs that show up later. These are the ones members complain about most on Reddit and review sites.
| Hidden cost | How it catches people | How to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| Bi-weekly billing | $25 every 2 weeks is $650 a year, not $600 | Ask if the quote is monthly or per 14 days |
| Annual fee | Charged once a year at some clubs | Ask for the month it bills |
| Apple Fitness+ after trial | $9.99 a month starts after the free months | Cancel it in your Apple settings |
| Early termination | Buyouts can be 50% or more of what’s left | Start month-to-month |
| Late fees | Failed card payments add charges | Update your card with ABC Financial |
The buyout is the one that turns even the cheapest Anytime Fitness membership into a costly one. Read our Anytime Fitness cancellation fee and policy guide before you sign a long contract.

Is Anytime Fitness the cheapest gym option?
No, and it doesn’t try to be. If the lowest price is all you want, a budget chain will usually beat it. Instead, you’re paying for 24/7 access and a smaller, quieter club.
My view is that the cheapest Anytime Fitness membership is the one you’ll keep using. A $35 contract you quit after three months costs more than a $55 plan you use all year.

Cheapest Anytime Fitness membership FAQ
What is the lowest Anytime Fitness membership fee per month?
Reported long-contract rates start around $30 a month, and some corporate rates are lower. There’s no national minimum, since each club sets its own dues.
Can I get Anytime Fitness for $10 a month?
It’s rare in the US. A $10 rate would usually be a short promo or a heavily discounted employer deal, so ask what the price becomes after the promo ends.
Does Anytime Fitness do Black Friday or New Year deals?
Many clubs run promos around New Year, often waiving enrollment. Offers change by club, so check your club page in late December and early January.
Is the key fob fee refundable?
Usually not. Even Australia’s 7-day cooling-off rule refunds joining and membership fees but lets the club keep the fob fee.
Can I rejoin later without paying enrollment again?
Some clubs waive enrollment for returning members, others don’t. Keep your old key fob, since some clubs reactivate it instead of charging for a new one.
Is a day pass cheaper than a membership?
Only if you go a few times a month. Day passes are sold by each club, so call yours for the price and compare it with the monthly dues.
