The first time I heard about the prices people were willing to pay for spin class I thought it was joke.
Turns out there really are (a lot) of people out there that will pay $40 to have someone periodically yell at them for an hour.
- notyourday 7y agoThat's a long tail. The ones who go to classes all the time buy packages that are $200-$300/mo unlimited or use ClassPass.
- koolba 7y ago$200/mo to get yelled at an unlimited number of times sounds equally insane.
- notyourday 7y agoNot if you don't want to spend your late thirties on dealing with the health problems.
- koolba 7y agoThat's a false choice. There are infinite ways to get exercise on a regular basis that do not involving spending anywhere near $2,500/year. I'm not saying it won't work. I'm saying it's possible to be both healthy and not financially inept.
- notyourday 7y agoThose are the tales that are told by the majority of the people who somehow can never make it to the gym.
