I have a lifetime(free for my or gym's life) membership that I bought on eBay years ago for $1,370. Although the payment was big, the benefit from it is that after that one-time payment I never had to pay a cent to the company and did not received any bills. So the best part about this membership, well, not the best but a pretty good one, is the part that whenever I pass by the racruiter's office and see someone signup up for their new membership is that when I get this "hahaha" thing about how their are getting ripped off.
