I am in Spain and for CrossFit clases we pay here 45x10 classes, 50 for 14, 55 for 18 and keep going.
Gyms alone are boring for me, unlimited classes at a gym is around 40 euros.

Those are very good bits kit. If you can lay on your back and do skullcrushers you'll have lats and tris to make any woman swoon on the beach (assuming they can look past the rest of you
)

I get a discount on salary sacrifice through work, about £28 a month including gym, pool, steam, sauna, classes.
It's not the newest/ smartest but it is cheap (David Lloyd is around £200+ month)
What part of the country? My wife pays £115 for full membership, gym, sauna, swimming, squash, tennis, numerous classes, the works.

I use a local authority gym. £23/month for gym, Wattbike, swimming, and +/- 20 different types of class, each one is on 4-5 times/week. My main interest is the spinning classes and Wattbike.
I also work with a private PT who I see weekly for an hour and talk to regularly through the week. She gives me a regular programme of stretches and programmes which I do 5 days/week at home. I'm not keen on going to the gym but will happily work out for an hour at home each morning.

I pay just under £40 a month for unlimited gym use and fitness classes. It's owned by Birmingham City Council who have contracted it out to SERCO.

£26.99 a month for budget gym chain. Includes classes and access to any of their local gyms. Good clean facilities, and plenty of free weights and machines. No sauna or pool but I wouldn't use them so not an issue.

No, that's full membership 06.00 - 23.00 and includes all facilities. The only additional charge is coaching. We're in Lancashire.

I seem to have a houseful of heavy things which I pick up and put down again from time to time. Swimming twice a week although I've changed my workdays so I use several different pools which is no good for my loyalty card.
Local leisure centres have just changed operators and are charging £35 for gym membership or £25 for swimming. They also seem to have 'wellness' memberships which are obviously nonsense but their app is horrible so I'm not inclined to try and find out any more. The pool down the road is better anyway and if I want to pick up heavy things and put them down again I'd rather do that at home.

My nearest Leisure centre costs £38 for gym, swimming pool classes but not sauna. It is a better gym branded operating company run at the council; leisure centre nearest me. £39.50 at a nearer holday park which includes swimming pool and sauna / steamroom. Or there is
The other one that is between the holiday park and nearest town gym in terms of distance is a Pure group gym that is £44 a month, no cheaper for 6 months or 12 months up front, works out £44 per month for all those.
I did see one for £22.50 but I cannot see it now.
The holiday park that is 5 minutes drive away or so is £39.50 with pool and sauna but it has very little. It has all the free weights but TBH I prefer the resistance machines for simplicity. Just get on, pick the weight level and go. Not sure about using the liftinig rack or the benches without a spotter TBH. It has very few resistance machines and the few that they have some are a bit unusual in how to use them. One I just could not work out. I guess for monthly membership someone will walk me round. I just walked in off the street and got on with things. Nobody working there to speak to.
The next closest at £44 is the same gym, swimming pool and steam room. The gym seems to have more equipment, not many more but enough to make it better. Thjey have a cable resistance set up that can be adjusted up and down and attack from different angles. I used one in my old gym years ago but that was on arms and called a freedom trainer IIRC. Designed for use by wheelchair users but it works well for able bodied especially on a gym ball for imstability to work the core muscles. I used it to simulate kayaking stroke one side at a time on the gym ball. Very similar to putting in a hard stroke only moree resistance. That absolutely killed me to do that exercise as your arms got worked hard and your core muscles too. I am tempted by the£4.50 more a month but perhaps not that much.
So there is the next town. 20 minutes or so but it is at least this side of town. There are not photos of what they have or list of machines so I have no idea what the £38 (cheapest deal around these parts) gets you.
