First Experience with FitPass Network: Member's Perspecitve

by lwires Share this

 

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.

Culture Shock Dance Center offering Hip Hop, Salsa, Jazz, and more

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.

5 Reasons Why Joining 24 Hour Fitness is a Bad Idea

by mkeplinger Share this

 

I stumbled across an article that said in BIG BOLD LETTERS:  I hate 24 Hour Fitness.   Whoa!  I searched google for this phrase in quotes, which limits the search results to that exact phase, and could not believe that I found 3,290 results!!!!  Wow, that is a little extreme, I certainly don't hate 24 Hour Fitness, but there are reasons why it does not work for me.  So I read a bunch of these posts and pages and then asked a bunch of other people to try and understand what the deal was.  This is what I came up with...
 
5.   It costs more than you think.  Most plans require you to pay a start-up or initiation fee, plus agree to a contract of at least one year.  While, the month-to-month fees seem inexpensive, when you factor in the start-up fees it works out to be much much more.  And that low monthly cost, makes it so much easier to convince yourself to skip the gym just one more day.
