Gym pricing guide
Why biweekly gym billing costs more than it looks
Biweekly billing is easy to misread because it feels like twice per month. Over a year, every-two-week billing creates 26 charges, which is more than 12 monthly charges or 24 twice-monthly charges.
Quick takeaways
- A biweekly price is charged every two weeks, so it usually happens 26 times per year.
- Monthly equivalent = advertised charge x 26 / 12.
- The advertised source price should still stay visible because that is what the gym shows publicly.
- No-BS Monthly uses the monthly equivalent before layering in fees and exit friction.
The quick math
For a $50 biweekly membership, the monthly equivalent is $50 x 26 / 12, or $108.33 per month before required fees.
Every-four-weeks billing has the same trap
A four-week billing cycle creates 13 charges per year. It is not the same as monthly billing, even when the public price looks monthly-ish.
Why gains.fyi shows both numbers
The source price shows what the gym advertises. The monthly equivalent shows what that billing cadence means in a yearly comparison.
