The one here in Tuscaloosa is $5 for a "flow & go" class. A 5 class pack is $20. A 6 month unlimited is $375 and a year of yoga/pilates is $600. If chain gyms offered this as a part of their package they'd make a killing.

Devices to protect the studio from chemtrail debris are expensive.

I'd pay that to sit in the back and watch hot chicks do downward dog.

Just looked up another here locally and it is $12 per class, 5 for $50 and 10 for $90. Seems to me you'd do better just charging a flat monthly fee for a membership

Yes. If I go to 4 classes per week that's $16. In a month's time that comes out to $64. Screw that.

Most normal gym memberships are 40-60 bucks a month. That's right on par with 600 dollars a year.

Because it's trendy. Period. My daughter is a yoga instructor in Los Angeles, and I can tell you that you are gonna get set back some jack to take classes in her studio. And for what? You bring your own mat. And that's all the equipment needed. I, too, don't get it.

Compared to a gym membership of $15 per month it is.

Women flock to them.
Women know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

What shite gym is $15/month besides planet fitness, who has monthly pizza parties, and where you get an alarm sounded on you if you drop the dumbells?

A decent gym is $50-80 no matter where you go.

You don't go to 4 classes per week, you go to 1 or 2. And $5 a class is about the cheapest yoga I've ever heard of. Usually it's $10-15 per class. If they make it too cheap then the class will fill up and it will become unruly to try to go there. If people are willing to pay, why would they lower the price?

That sounds pretty cheap. My wife pays $109/month for unlimited yoga and pilates (w/o access to the expensive machine thingy) classes.

I think pay as you go classes are $18/class.

This is now officially a yoga pants thread. Thread has been hijacked. Please add NSFW to the thread title.

my club, a chain, offers yoga class for no additional charge. in addition, we have a giant techno-screen in the big enclosed workout area. A computer drives programming onto the screen. You can go in by yourself or with a workout partner or trainer and select from 8 or 10 programs, including yoga. You do it with the screen person if you can't make it to the in person classes.

ANYTIME fitness. They are one of a few brands my BC/BS PPO pays part of my membership for. I can go to any of them around the nation. I have a "fob" which I put up to the keyless lock on the door. Some brands, I have to sign in.
Some I just use the fob.
