Lucille Roberts Gym has dropped the price of their membership registration to 15¢ in a New Year’s sale today.
Of course, that’s not the only cost involved in a membership to this womens only gym. There are also monthly membership fees, a card fee, maintenance fees, and taxes.
Let’s start with the membership fees. There are two levels, Red and Gold, at $18 and $20 per month, respectively.
Both memberships offer, 1) access to all fitness centers (with some exceptions), allowing you to pick and choose, and mix and match, the classes to fit your interests and schedule, 2) group fitness classes, and 3) babysitting services.
The Red Membership requires a 12-month commitment, the Gold Membership is a pay as you go, month-to-month plan.
According to the terms and agreement, membership also includes a subscription to the Lucille Roberts Publication. Payment is made via EFT or electronic funds transfer from your bank account.
The ‘card fee’ is $3. There’s a 25¢ processing fee for the monthly, required, ‘electronic funds transfer’. And a $15 maintenance fee every 6 months.

Let the buyer beware though.
As with many gyms, there are complaints from consumers online saying they have had trouble ending their memberships. The Consumerist reported several years ago that “Joining Lucille Roberts Gym Is Like Joining The Mafia“. And when we looked up the Lucille Roberts Gym on the BBB, we found that every location with a BBB rating had a rating of “F”.
