      <description>&lt;P&gt;It's very unlikely that the dues are deductible. &amp;nbsp;According to the IRS:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;You may be able to deduct membership fees or dues you pay to a qualified organization. However, you can deduct only the amount that is more than the value of the benefits you receive. &amp;nbsp;You can't deduct dues, fees, or assessments paid to country clubs and other social organizations.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;It's likely that the value of the gym membership and other facilities available to you as a member equals or exceeds your membership dues. &amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;
    &lt;BR /&gt;
  &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;</description>
