Everyone knows about the health benefits of exercise. But most people think of workouts as necessary, not fun. That is changing as more fitness clubs include Zumba classes in their exercise options.

In addition to FitPass Network’s other great fitness locations across the San Diego area, Wired Fitness Boot camps, with 4 separate locations, has been added to our list of top-of-the-line fitness centers. In fact, we’re proud to say that Wired Fitness Boot camps were voted as one of San Diego’s best outdoor boot camp program by San Diego’s FOX 6.

Living in San Diego, I am pretty good at getting at least three to four days of exercise in a week. But sometimes it feels like all that working out isn’t giving me the same results it used to when I first started.

So recently, I came across a new company called FitPass Network.  With this fitness setup, I pay as I go and get to try a variety of fitness gyms, exercise classes and training sessions depending on my mood, as well as the class times and locations.

My first time using the pass, I tried the Tuesday night class at Culture Shock Dance Center. I took the beginning hip-hop with Richie Prospal at 6:30pm. It’s a little tricky to find. It’s in an industrial area off I-5. I had to exit Old Town and turn right onto Hancock. Then, when I found the building, I couldn’t find the entrance to the dance studio. I had to ask someone where to go. They said, “go up stairs and around the corner.” Once upstairs, I walked over to the desk and signed in for the class. It was pretty easy, I just gave them my pass and I.D. and I walked into the studio to wait for the class to start.

Sweat baby sweat like the catchy 80’s song you have to work it. As much as I have tried, it seems that the fat on my thighs simply refuses to burn itself off as I lounge. The idea of a costly gym membership annoys the budget-hungry hippy buried in my sparkly earrings. Moreover, since we live in San Diego, why not try to be a little bit more creative.
