In Cambridge, Minn., there are two major 24/7 gyms that dominate the area: Anytime Fitness and Snap Fitness. Both gyms provide affordable payment plans, a variety of exercise machines, and extras (personal trainers and online resources).
“Gyms aren’t a one-size-fit all,” says Joe Fadden, a gym attendee. “One gym may be perfect for me, but another gym might be perfect for someone else. It has to fit both my physical and financial needs.”

“Snap Fitness offers a gym that’s fast, convenient, and affordable,” explains Heidi Lietha, the owner of Cambridge’s Snap Fitness. “It’s our motto.”
The initial enrollment fee at Snap can rage from $25 to $100. But, Snap does not require for members to sign a time-allotted contract. Members pay a month-to-month fee.
There are three different types of month-to-month programs that members can join: single, couple, and family membership.

Single membership (one person only): $36.95/month
Couple Membership (for two married persons): $49.95/month
Family Membership (entire family): $54.95/month

Also, if a member carries insurance with BlueCross, BlueShield, Medica, or Health Partners, the monthly fee can be reduced.
“I only pay 29.17 a month for my family membership,” explains Mary Curtis, a long-time member of Snap Fitness. “Its because I have insurance with Health Partners.”
There are two trainers available during the daytime hours at Snap. The prices range for one-on-one training ranges from $30-$60 dollars an hour.
When asked about the possible weaknesses that Snap Fitness has, Lietha admitted that by not requiring members to sign a time-based contract, it may not give members the motivation they need to continue their membership at Snap.
For additional information on Snap Fitness, contact the gym either by phone or just drop in during Snap’s staffed hours.
