You have to look at what kind of deal you are getting and where you live.

If you just want a facility that gives you pure muay thai with a great coach, with a couple of heavy bags and thai pads (you bring your own gear) it could be anywhere from $50 to $70 per month. I prefer it like this - old school, inexpensive and down to earth.

However, if you are absolutely gung ho about training, have the $$$$ to spend and you can get into a gym that has state of the art strength training equipment & coaches, several world-class fight trainers, all kinds of crazy and cool stations to build your fighting fitness, it will definitely be over $100 per month.

But its harder to get your money's worth at the mega-gym unless you live in it.

Yeah, as Tom said, a basic gym costs around $50 per month. It's not my preference to get some amazing trainer to do 1 on 1 with me, I don't need fancy equipment to get better either. I'll stick with what I know best, which is my own pace. These prices, well the prices at my gym, they differ based on age, im still under 18 so I pay probably $10-15 less than an adult. Which I think is stupid, but I guess you can't argue and get your way with rules. Also as someone said in a similar thread, some schools are after money, so yeah I guess it depends on where you would go?

At my gym, it costs $70 per month for unlimited classes. Plus dues for being on the team (a select group of fighters which have 8 more hours of instruction per week). I also choose to work out with word-champion fighters (which can cost $50 per time) twice a week. I feel as if this is one of the more important facets of my training--and it has taken my skills of Muay Thai to a new level. That is my perspective--its about 500 per month but easily worth every penny

I wish I had $500 a month to spend on training. My costs are $85 for unlimited MMA and I get to work with the #1 lightweight in the UFC. There are times that I do get discouraged becasue I have 40 lbs on him and I feel that I should beat him but you realize quickly that strength does not matter when you do not know how to.

My gym is $90.00 per month or (I'm pretty sure) about $365.00 for six months. That is for unlimited classes so if you hit every one you can get your muay-fix at least once a day six days a week. Also the instruction is phenomenal. I moved to Lansing and checked out some place around here but still choose to drive down to the D for muay thai.

My gym costs 40 a month, but I only take womens kick boxing 5 classes a week I don't use the gym part as I have one at home. I know a full pass gym included is 60 and I think that includes all classes and the gym. Also if three family members join you get 15% off, unfortunatley my hubbies not interested and my youngest son is to young, but I will take advantage of it when the time comes. There is no daycare but they let you bring the kids along as they are resonably well behaved.
