Back in Minny, I paid nothing (Powerhouse), as I had an agreement that I would wear gym gear at my PL meets in return for free training. Worked out pretty damn well, as I eventually got all of my protein and ephedra-based products free as well.
Now, in Chicago, I have to PAY for a membership, at another Powerhouse no less, and I pay around $21/mo or so since I paid everything up front. It sux to have to pay, though I have a stockpile of protein that should last me a couple of months until I start banging some GNC chick for free product. Its bound to happen.
