In Asia, people are paying as much as $24,000 a year for memberships at Centuryon, a chain of luxurious mega fitness centers operated by California Management Group.

According to founder and CEO Randy Dobson, the gyms offer exclusivity and luxury to "a select few who posses the highest standards and demand nothing less than the very best."



With 24 locations in Vietnam, Centuryon memberships start at $8,000 and can go up to $24,000, depending on member benefits. There are no monthly fees, but the full annual fee is paid up front.
