A £25 gym you can only reach by tube is not a £25 gym. Say where you start from, pick a gym, and be honest about how often you will go. We add the return fare, gross it up to a month, and show the real total.
Starting from . We keep the district only — never the full postcode.
Most members average about twice a week. We multiply by 4.35 to get a month.
We ask Transport for London to plan the journey from your postcode to the gym's postcode, and read back the fare it returns — then double it for the return leg. If the two points are within about 1.6 km in a straight line we call it walkable and charge nothing. Monthly cost is the return fare × visits per week × 4.35.
The journey is always planned for the next weekday at 18:30, not for the moment you happen to be reading this. Asked at midnight, TfL answers — correctly — with a two-hour night bus, which is not what your gym trip costs. Pinning it to a typical after-work session gives a number you can actually plan around, and the peak and off-peak fares shown alongside tell you what moving the hour would save.
Where a faster route and a cheaper route disagree, we price the faster one unless the cheaper one is within fifteen minutes of it — and we tell you about the cheaper one either way.
TfL's own planner carries this caveat: fares between two stations can vary by direction of travel, time of day and route taken. Treat it as a good estimate rather than a quote — and remember contactless daily and weekly capping makes heavy use cheaper than a per-journey sum suggests.
