Jenny who feels she needs to hide things from her BF should either get a counselor or a new BF. Not sure which. But when my ex-bf thought I was being too frivolous on getting massage therapy for my back injury (when it first happened...so this was treatment) I started realizing where his priorities were, and they weren't what was best for me. Again, he saw the benefit it had on me...how before the therapy I was in so much pain I couldn't do my homework or function, and after, I would blow through a problem set in an hour (that I couldn't even understand for the pain before.) And, I was paying for my college...and my massage therapy, whereas his daddy paid for his college, car and all his expenses.

Holy Cow! I had no idea "boutique classes" costs that much!! I live a very sheltered life, lol! I am an introvert, and I am very happy working out with dvd's/streaming at home! I don't feel at all bad about all I have spent on my home fitness stuff over the years!

But, even we have our instructors who charge crazy prices. Think of TA Streaming, or even P57 streaming. Maybe not $400 a month, but it would be easy to rack up quite the bill in streaming services. I kind of feel sorry for the girl who thinks you have to pay top price for the latest and the greatest. There's always going to be something later and greater. I spent so much of the teens, 20's and even some of the my 30's chasing an ideal that was impossible for me. I did some amazing things and I'm happy I did them, but I think I wasted a lot of time worrying about things that in the long run, really don't matter.

Prices are slightly lower outside of the red hot commercial centers, but there are fewer crowds but also truncated class lengths. Give me Yoga in the Park (in any part of this New York City) any day ... well, there was only one session I'd taken of yoga in the Park, with a teacher I had for another class (the only series of by donation classes I ever went to) and I trusted ...

Judging from what I've Paid for a single Download these Days
I'd hate to see some live, boutique or chain boutique teachers who have set up shop near enough to me, in Brooklyn or Manhattan start a subscription streaming of their offerings ... and charging quite a bit like Buti or TA does ...
I'm talking only about yoga, dance /dance fitness or the martial arts. I don't know if they deeply discount online bootcamp or what?

I've been taking live barre classes over the past year. I've gotten some very good deals--as low as $75 for a month of unlimited classes, which in my area is a steal! I'm very frugal in other areas of life, so I didn't have a hard time justifying it, but even still, I'm cancelling my latest membership. I had it at a good price, but I miss the convenience and variety of my DVDs. I've met many people in my classes who are amazed that I was such a faithful home exerciser for so many years. I guess there are a lot of people who can't motivate themselves to exercise at home. And as Beyond Omega said, if it helps you, it can really be worth the money. We all have our priorities, and exercise for health and well-being is certainly a worthwhile one. Still, there are much more affordable options out there than boutique classes, even in NYC. I just don't get the 'I'm enticed by it because it's expensive' mentality. |

Actually, I could be in with these Snobs

My only problem is, I've just gotta play tourist or part-time-resident or superannuated (very superannuated) student [I know: we Students of Life don't get the student discount]; and/or go to something underattended ... I've got some Athleta activewear that still is unpilled; I don't look that plebian (what am I even saying!?!) It really gets me when there are people to whom (whether they could afford it or not) each session is taken for granted, that they are regulars - and are not there just during promotion season ...
