Default Golds Gym - could use some advice

My membership expires at the YMCA at the end of this month and I'm looking to try another gym, YMCA wants 67/month and that's the basic change room you get. Plus membership is 80ish and you only get a steam room.

I've been looking at the Golds in McKenzie and they've got a pool, hottub, sauna, stream room, tanning and those lockers with a digital lock. For a touch cheap then the YMCA, 64 I believe it came to

Someone told me people are always trying to get rid of their memberships and transfer them, so I checked out Kijjii and people are selling them (sometimes willing to eat transfer fees, and the monthly rates are cheaper then what I'd pay now to sign up)

Would I be able to mention this if I signed up? Somehow lowering, the monthly costs and maybe sign up fee's? Or is this gym pretty strict, you get what you see? Is it just a better idea to take over someones contract?

I signed up with Gold's Eau Claire about 8 months ago after leaving World Health. They wanted $70+ per month and were not willing to move on the price so I did go onto Kijiji and was able take over the last 18 months of some gals membership for $52 per month, she also paid the $50 transfer fee. So yes, in my experience Kijiji is definatley your best bet.

My wife is actually looking to transfer hers as we moved and it's closer for her to go to the Y in Shawnessy now.

She has just under a year left so it might be a good way to see if Golds is for you. PM me if you want more info.
