re: Will Class Based Gyms Survive?

Some probably won’t. The one I go to probably will. They’ve been great about posting workouts on social media, doing v-blogs and keeping up on our group texts.

I took a couple of weeks off before the Rona to prep for some races and so I haven’t seen anyone in our class for probably over a month. I can honestly say I miss seeing them each week. Not sure they give as much of a crap as I do.

Is the price high? Yeah. Is it worth it to me? Also yeah. I’m not an OT baller, but having those folks to motivate me is worth it.

If you don't mind me asking what gym do you go to? My local Orange Theory has been pretty good as well about posting workouts in addition to the at-home workouts Orange Theory corporate have been posting.

For me I feel like I don't miss too many of the members but I definitely miss the coaches. This whole thing has reminded me that without motivation I'm pretty much a couch potato, lol. I need that coach yelling at me, motivating me. One of my coaches if we're doing a workout will gladly bring over heavier weights if she thinks I can handle it. I think its that stuff that I miss, the coaches encouraging me when I want to slack off a little, the coaches pushing me when they think I can lift heavier. The stuff you just can't get at home.

I think the Orange Theory I go to will survive, now I'm just worried about if I will still be able to afford the $100/month after this.
