How we calculated this
- A month is 4.33 weeks (52 weeks divided by 12). A per-visit price is multiplied by your kids, your workouts a week and 4.33.
- A price per child a month is multiplied by your kids. Where a chain has both, we show the cheaper one and say which.
- Where childcare comes free with a plan, we show the plan price, which is also your own membership. Add-on prices are on top of a membership.
- Prices are as each chain posts them on its own website, checked October 13, 2026. Tax and sign-up fees aren't included unless a note says so.
- Chains that don't post a price are listed with no number. Call the club for those.
