Gyms over here are a ridiculous price
when i go back to Oz, i am joining my local gym which has a 25m pool, loads of machines, womens weights room, all classes including yoga etc included, squash and tennic courts with complementary racket hire - all for £30 a month! and i also get 2 personal training sessions a week included in that.
i think it's because australia is now the mose overweight nation in the world, they are making it more affordable to go to the gym!
