Save on Classes.
You do not have to spend so much for a great work out. Going to a new studio can be intimidating and uncomfortable, but getting out of your comfort zone is where the difference happens. Here are some basic tips to make this entire process easier, cheaper, and sweatier.
Basically, pay for a number of points that translate into studio classes each month and then sign up at all the different studios offered. The ClassPass philosophy is that Studio fitness is the best way to work out. Those small, expensive boutique classes become a lot more practical and accessible with this system. ClassPass is also a great tool for the traveling professionals who are tired of boring hotel gym workouts.
Intro Offers are Everything
Take advantage of every intro offer. You may afraid to try new things, but when there is an intro offer like get a month free or 50% off your first week, buy it.
Look for the Deals
Black Friday deals are clutch and everything will be on sale. New Year’s is not so different. With all these resolutions, there are a lot of deals to be found to save this season.
Buy in Bulk
Math is simple: you get a better deal and save more when you buy in bulk. If it is a service you are going to use, buy more than less and challenge yourself. It may seem like a huge number when there is a special package, but break it down to find the best bulk options.
