First Experience with FitPass Network: Member's Perspecitve

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.

The dance studio was a good size. We had about three people deep and at least 10 people across. There was plenty of room to move and I didn’t feel crowded by other dancers. The group that night was on the young side. But no matter, I was there to get out of my comfort zone and do something I had always wanted to try. It was a blast. I got an excellent workout. My mind wasn’t really on the workout, but on the dance routine that we were being taught.

The time went by really fast. By then end of class, the back of my shirt was covered in sweat. Also, the instructor, who was also young, didn’t feel the need to pick out anyone (like me) and critique his or her progress, thank God! I’m gonna have to work on speeding up my reflexes so I can do a better job next Tuesday.

I would definitely recommend the class to anyone interested in trying something new and interesting. I had fun learning some new dance moves while getting a great workout.
