Annual Fitness Club Expenditure Formula
Year 1 Outlay = Initiation + (Monthly Dues × 12) + Annual Club Fee + (Lockers + Classes) × 12 + Gear & Supplements- Year 1 vs. Year 2: Year 1 absorbs non-refundable enrollment fees; Year 2 stabilizes to recurring dues and annual fees.
- Lockers & Specialty Classes: Optional amenity add-ons recurring on monthly statements.
- Supplements & Gear: Electrolytes, protein powders, gym attire, and lifting accessories.
