If you take barre classes, how much are they in your area?

[bab]

OMG it's expensive here.  The cheapest I've found is $100/month.  I'd like to try it but dayum.  

[alzi]

100 a month after the first month is actually cheap, sadly. I
Pay $135/month with a year membership.

But I love it. And it's so worth it!

[candyland]

It's $100 for the first month and then $150/mo after that. If you sign a 1 year contract it is $100/mo.

[bab]

OMGGGGG!! I guess it's good motivation to get your ass to the studio though!

[DotAndBuzz]

That sounds about what our local barre place charges. I don't go there, because that's more than an individual membership to my gym, and there's WAY more variety at the gym. And I guess they limit the number of people who can attend one class session at my local one, so if you show up, you may be shut out, and still have to pay the membership fee. Eff that.

Oh HELL to the no!

My studio is $99/month for unlimited classes if you sign a contract for 12 months. Otherwise, it's $20/class or you can buy packages of classes.
My contract is up in May and the new pricing is $129.

Goddamn it's expensive to stay in shape.

[mskitkat]

$195 for 1 month of unlimited. Slightly less if you buy a 3 month or 6 month package. I LOVE it. Worth every penny.

Oh so you're the reason mrmiso was so cranky with miso last night.

[isabel]

$100 doesn't seem bad, especially if it's for unlimited classes. I think barre is kind of like yoga or crossfit in terms of pricing. I pay $120 a month for unlimited crossfit classes. I can't quite remember what the yoga studio is since I just do drop in classes, but something like $150, I think.

One class ain't gonna do shit.

It's simply a gateway to spending money!

No, I chose happy hour over barre.

Bar > barre.

[shamrockshake]

They offer it once a week at my Y. I'm hoping they add more, I've only been going a couple weeks but it's apparently been full every week since they started it and several people have requested more be added

[Deleted]

Honestly, I don't even know what barre is.

[DotAndBuzz]

seriously bab, you've mentioned a number of times joining a gym/fitness stuff. My family membership to my gym is $200/mo, for TONS of different types of unlimited classes, childcare included, and an indoor and outdoor pool. You don't have to lock yourself into one type of exercise for nearly that much, and then pay more to do another type.

Is there a Lifetime, or other athletic club near you? Check them out.

[fryjack2]

Ranges from $22-25 per class. Slightly cheaper if you buy a package.

I pay a shitload for a gym membership so I can take pilates, barre, spin, yoga, etc. for "free" on top of my usual treadmill runs and the pool. Its cheaper this way.

My problem is I get bored so easily with the gym I belong to (Planet Fitness).  There are a ton of LA Fitness locations popping up all over but I twitch slightly at the $40/month price tag when I pay $10/month for Planet Fitness.  There is an LA Fitness within walking distance to my house but I never signed up because H used to work such crazy hours I never would have been able to use it for the classes.  Now he has a slightly less crazy work schedule and I am starting to think about upgrading my fitness membership.  $100/month is out of my range though.  It's definitely too much money for me to spend on a gym membership.

a little under $200 a month for unlimited classes

i'd rather pay for an equinox gym membership and get a variety of stuff

Do you belong to Equinox?

My co-worker can't stop raving.

[starlily]

My local gym options don't offer fun new things. It's all spin, Zumba, and yoga. So I pay $$$$ for pilates and hoard Groupons for barre studios.

bab - $100 for unlimited classes the first month seems to be the norm in my area, then it varies based on package pricing.

I would definitely get bored at Planet Fitness.  I need group fitness classes, because I HATE just using machines.  I feel you there.  Does the $40/month cover group classes you'd be interested in?  Because that's definitely not unreasonable for a gym membership.  I think anywhere that has instructors will cost more than just machines in a room, you know?

[cabbage10]

I pay $135 /mo for unlimited. It used to be $165. I go four times a week so I feel like it is worth it. I love the classes so much

My family bought a membership to Family Fitness (now 24 Hour Fitness) when I was in high school.  It's $4 a month.  I had to upgrade to the "sport" membership a few years ago and the guy nearly fell out of his chair when he saw my rate.  Now I pay $14.  I'm NEVER quitting that place!

i don't think they have barre, though.  I should check.

[janegold]

My studio is $200/month or $25 per class. I usually wait until class passes go on sale on Rue La La or Gilt.

[dreamcrisp1]

WAY too expensive. I wanted to sign up and then laughed once I saw the prices. No kind of exercise is worth that amount of money.

This is why I wanna open my own studio one day and have REASONABLE prices. Hot yoga is like $115/month. WHY? I can do yoga at home for FREE.

[prettyinpink]

The Daily Method Barre classes by me are $100 unlimited classes for new students for 1 month. Then $140 or $125 per month unlimited depending on how long you signed up for.

[thejen626]

I pay $99/mo plus $50/mo for unlimited childcare. I LOVE my gym and it's completely changed my life. It's worth every penny to me. I walk there from my house, the childcare is great, barre classes, Bodypump, lots of variety, no treadmills.

In addition, I do a really hard 6 week training class and it's $144 extra. So every other month it's a $300 direct debit
