I've been a Snap Fitness member for about 6 years now. Because I travel for work, I've been a member across half a dozen branches over the years.My current branch just emailed to say they are putting in a sauna. Cool, I guess? Except they're hiking my membership by almost 20% to pay for it.
The best part is the email claim: "You asked, we listened." I must have requested that in my sleep.
My main concern is that if I move to a different branch next month and they eventually decide to add a sauna too, will I just get hit with another increase? Has anyone else dealt with this at Snap? Can a branch just hike the price whenever they buy a new piece of kit ?

Which branch is this?
you know what people would really like? gym membership without stupid lock in contracts
wtf is a recovery boot?
Take your wallet elsewhere I guess.
That’s some athlete foot X foot fungus type shit just waiting to happen.
If you threaten to leave over the 20% they might scrap it off for you. Jetts used to wave price increases if you said you’d cancel
This is what manufactured growth looks like
Ever notice how when it’s a price increase it’s a “change” or “adjustment”?
You can bet your life if they reduced prices the header would be ‘price drop’ or similar.
Weasly pricks are corporations.
Not relevant to your gym but I’ve always disliked how gyms always offer great sign up bonuses. How about bonuses for the loyal members that don’t change clubs? Eg; free month of march membership for our members. Or weekly draws with a few names.
Also don’t know how anyone can train at Jetts/snap/anytime. All those gyms are always so small and have fuck all equipment
I thought Snap was joining price for life?
My Snap did the same thing, I was with them because they were the cheapest around & actually had room to move, now they cost as much as everyone else & it’s too damn cramped.
Reminds me of Optus jacking up phone data when increasing the it price. Oh great another 20 gig I won’t touch, thanks!
Didn’t the ACCC go after Microslop for something like this?

Have you looked at Fitness Passport? You can use it across many, many gyms and the price is often cheaper than a gym membership. We use it because we move and travel so much.
But you asked and they listened! Don’t you get it? They’re giving you what you asked for 😆😆😆
The hole industry need to go, scamming pricks.
20% increase at Revo would be $2 a week, just sayin
Planet fitness is like 13$ a week for their ‘premium’ and $9 for their standard
They tried this in Sydney anytime fitness in the city for locker upgrades in 2008…..so many people were starting to cancel because of it, they did not end up passing costs on to customers in the end 😊

Just utilise Jetz. Almost no staff there.
Recovery boots? There is NO way in hell I’m using those if someone else has used them, let alone paying more because they’re in the building.
Unless you’re the only member, it is possible that some other member could have asked for it. Your task now is find that member and ask for a reimbursement.
I gave up and bought a home gym. I know it’s not for everyone but it will pay itself off eventually and I love not having to wait for equipment
> You asked, we listened
…
> we’re raising prices.
I went to a Snap and they had none of that stuff, no classes etc either. $99 a month.
Got sick of having to wait for equipment so bought a Speediance home gym. A bit exxy but I need strength training for mental and physical well being and I have a small space.
So good not needing a gym. You don’t have to spend as much as I did but I highly recommend functional (cable) training machines.
Hmm, are all Snap gyms raising their prices or just some?
The whole business model doesn’t really work if different gyms have different prices.
Isn’t snap a universal fee because you can go to any location? How can they increase your membership specifically?
Sauna prices are crazy round here. I would love it if my snap did this
