So a friend told me about this cool thing, called classivity, it's basically a passport for trying different sports classes or yoga classes in the city. It's pretty cool because you can try out lots of cool things for 50 bucks. A full months of cool activities which would otherwise cost you a lot more. So after having gotten over the jetlag I took my first class today and it was pretty cool. Exhausting but definitely uplifting. Interestingly enough these guys provide even more things than equinox which I already considered the Ferrari of all gyms... So before my class I got some free nuts and cranberries as well as a drink, could charge my phone (lots of extra chargers)and a lock for the locker that you otherwise have to bring. I also got towels and a granola bar. Call me petty but I liked this place already then... The class itself was also good-looking challenging but still not too crazy. Will go back to 'uplift' for sure....
Looking at their website just now, I'm not so sure anymore whether I'll go back- at least not at regular prices. Apparently, they usually charge 32 USD per class which is almost as much as soul cycle. And since is this is an all girls offer, I just found something really interesting: they also do bridal packages. How horrible is that- you need to get yourself into shape for the wedding, so we'll get you there- no, sport is not about enjoyment, it's purely about force...One month whip up is what they call it. Oh yeah, and the price tag for that is just - wait for it- 1400 USD! Insane! In three months you can easily spend 3-4000 bucks on having someone torture you with (not even personal) training...
