That's kind of expensive for a gym. The one good reason for joining: they have classes in a lot of different kinds of physical activities. You can try a number of different ones to see if you like them and work for you. There are many different ways to get fit, and if you can find one you'll enjoy, it'll be that much easier. So in that respect, it's an attractive choice.
I'll go with Cythetiq and say, take the three-month or month-to-month option. See if you like it and if you're going to stick with it before putting down the big bucks. And you might find that one particular form of exercise -- yoga, pilates, etc. -- is what you really want to do, and go off and find a specialist gym or studio for that discipline.
Frankly, a lot of gyms -- especially ones that push longer memberships and registration fees -- _count on_ a lot of customers dropping out or not using their gym memberships fully. It's like free money. That way, they can book twice as many members as the gym could actually handle if everybody was coming regularly. It sounds like a screwy way to do business, but the thing is, nobody ever blames the gym. They always blame themselves. And they might come back in a couple of years and try again.
More with-it gyms charge a _modest_ setup fee and then a regular monthly payment deducted from your checking account that you can discontinue at any time.
