So they recently opened a Fly Wheel/Fly Barre studio at our new fancy development Avalon. I really jumped a the chance to take the free preview class they offered - everyone talks about this place and how much they love it. Go me. Trying new things! Shortly after my preview class I received a promotional email that was about 40% off a set of 5 classes so I thought I would delve into the boutique fitness arena. I really wanted to try something new and especially a new place - I've been a member at my gym for 7 years.
Still though -- $25 per class on the reg? I'm not sure if there is anything out there that is just THAT amazing. Even if you buy in bulk they only go down to about $23 or so. I already pay $67 a month for my gym membership -- you know, the place where they have classes AND weights and cardio and yoga studios. With that being said I was willing to spend $75 on a pack of 5 sessions to see what all the hype was about.
I definitely liked it a lot. Cute, pretty and very new studio. Lockers that don't need keys. Fancy soap and lotion in the locker rooms! Filtered water up front to put in your water bottles (3 different temperatures!). Great instructors. I actually just finished my package and had several different instructors - all were really great and really nice -- and actually very personable. All great, great qualities -- but the price. I just cannot get over the price. I just don't see the value of the class to be that high. If it could cost me upwards of $200 a month -- I better look like Giselle. (I don't look like Giselle.)
I think the real deal breaker for me was taking a Barre class they offer at my current gym last Saturday. It was fantastic! And already included in the price of my membership. I can vary my workouts and classes SO easily at my current location at my current price. I really wanted to just be obsessed with Fly Barre and love it -- but I never got there.
Am I missing something? Is there something else I should try? Where are you working out right now? I need to know.
