Specials for 24hr fitness membership?

[poorass]

Does anyone have any rates for 24hr fitness's 3 year membership deal? I'm trying to sign-up 4 friends, so wanted to see what the best rate is out there and how much room there is to negotiate. Thanks in advance.

Here's what you do, and what I did (@ LA Fitness, but it's all the same). Tell the guy you want to sign up yourself and 3 other people. They love to hear that, but also tell him some other gym offered you a better deal than they have. Haggle, repeat.

Bottom line: You should get a membership with $0 money down and nothing more than $29 a month. These guys will ABSOLUTELY go that low. I got mine for $0 down and $25 a month. They want the sale, they need the sale. Don't even pay attention to specials, they usually aren't "special" at all.
