I recently did some comparison shopping on fitness classes:
| Class | Walk-in | Class Pass | Full Commitment |
| Zumba | $8 | $60/10 classes | $36/month (6 classes max) |
| Jazzercise | $10 | $92/8 weeks | $38/month unlimited |
| Spin* | $12 | $90/10 classes | $36/month (4 classes max). $72 w/ yoga. |
| Fitness Studio** | $12 | $89/10 classes | $60/month unlimited |
| Crossfit | $15 | $119/12 classes | $139/month unlimited |
| Yoga | $16 | $115/10 classes | $89/month unlimited |
| *Pass also good for Yoga | |||
| **Offers a variety of group fitness classes such as Weight Training as well as Pilates, Yoga and Zumba | |||
The prices above are for actual classes in my area. Some places also charge an initial sign-up fee.
You can see that, if you don’t belong to a gym, if you bounce around to different classes, a sort-of-typical month could add up! It will be $162.10 in April if I don’t miss any workouts. (March was less at $112.30).
| MON | TUE | WED | THU | FRI | SAT | SUN |
| Studio | Spin | Run | Yoga | Rest | ||
| Studio | Run | $8.90 | $9.00 | $0 | $11.50 | Rest |
| $8.90 | $0 | $8.90 | $9.00 | $0 | $11.50 | Rest |
| $8.90 | $0 | $8.90 | $9.00 | $0 | $11.50 | Rest |
| $8.90 | $0 | $8.90 |
Is that ridiculous? It seems pretty steep to me and I’ve been trying to find a way around it for a while now. I feel really guilty when I consider my husband works out at home and spends exactly $0, and my sister-in-law does LA Fitness for only $20 a month. I could pay an unlimited monthly fee of $60 at The Fitness Studio which would save me over $100 a month. But I love my spin class! And I love my yoga class! I have been to a few Weight Training classes recently where I was the only student, so it was like having a personal trainer. If I was paying a trainer it would be like $50 per class!
What do you think? Should I commit to one place?
