We're members of both CC and Red's as well, and for a while there, UFC gym too so my son could train Mui Tai and wrestle.

Was glad to finally let go of UFC, because 3 memberships is just ridiculous.

To the OP, Red's is great for 95% of the population. I worked there one summer many years ago. Great family to be involved with.

yeah I don't know where the expensive comment came from


I know those strip mall gyms are cheap but comparing that to Red's is ridiculous

Yeah, my Y has a lot of stuff, and it's about $40 a month, but even I can tell from the website Red's has more.

If I lived in Lafayette it would be my spot.

For a family it's at least a hundy a month.

The biggest expense is time, on a good day the drive was an hour round trip, as I live a bit out in country.

Now, if Red would get on the insurance wellness plan for blue cross, I'd buy back in.

I'm guessing R Kelly's permaban from Red's is still in effect.

That's exactly why he does it. His monthly utility bills are insane

Is that a base, trial membership? Mine used to be 50 and they raised it.

I returned to reds after a medical loa, only to find in the powerlifting room a sign that said "please do not drop weights." It was at that point I knew my time at Reds had past.


Glad to hear one less idiot yelling at the top of his lungs and dropping weights, while wearing a belt, with the mentality of 'look at me'. Your not missed, at all....

I wouldn't hold my breath, isn't there one gym in Lafayette that accepts that and it's one of the national chains?
