Add twelve months of dues, every initiation or registration charge, annual or maintenance fees, required equipment and realistic add-ons. For class-based brands, calculate cost per usable class and account for expiration. For quote-based clubs, request the complete fee disclosure in writing before comparing it with a published-price competitor.
