A lot of people are just bad consumers so they eagerly sign anything.
Also, AOII, find out whether any organizations that you belong to or work for offer free or discounted gym memberships. You may have already looked into this.

Thanks for the advice. I've been checking with the orgs of which I'm a member (my workplace doesn't really offer that sort of thing - school district that is having to cut an additional 3.5 mil for the next year), and the other local gym. I do have to say, other gym - not so nice, and not even willing to let me work out there for a week without signing anything. They were trying to hard sell me and I told them to pound sand.
There's no tanning, so that's not a part of their membership. I figured it's because they've just opened and it's the supreme facility that they are trying to be firm on the price for right now. I also just looked into joining that gym as opposed to all of the 24hr fitness facilities and that's the price they were quoting.
I'll give it some time, they'll probably go down on price or be willing to negotiate to meet membership quotas eventually. I know they will negotiate, it's just a matter of time. I can wait and work out at home for now.
Thanks DrPhil and KSig.
