    $75 passbooks for clubs/yoga/pilates/etc...? (Brooklyn Sports and Fitness)

Has anyone ever bought/used one of these fitness coupon books?

I recently canceled my NYSC membership but something like this could be a fun way to sample different classes (and scope out a new gym, for when $$ starts rolling in again). If you have to endure a hard sell after each visit, though, it's not worth it IMHO.

I realize these places participate mainly to build their membership, and I respect that...but, still. I'm okay with email newsletters/promotions; just don't guilt me into sitting down with a pushy, anxious salesperson.

    shopping around for a new gym - please share your opinions! (Brooklyn Sports and Fitness)
by Plucky Purcell on Thu Nov 13, 08 7:51 pm

so, i'm looking for a new gym.

if any/all of you would share your tales of woe, sing your praises, and what kind of deal you got and at what gyms, that'd be awesome!

i stopped by a midtown NYSC today and was not impressed. costs more than my current gym, but their equipment seemed old and clunky. are they all like that?

    Is fitness recession proof? (Brooklyn Sports and Fitness)
by MonkeeJones on Tue Nov 11, 08 4:34 pm

I like to think that the fitness industry is one of the few that is atleast moderately recession proof. Has anyone noticed a down turn in clients or gym memberships? Has personal training taken a hit?
