I first heard of Class Pass from a new student to the Mysore class which I enjoy and attend quite regularly. We were chatting about how advanced the level of the class is and she mentioned how worthwhile it was given the relatively low number of credits it cost her. I was immediately intrigued as the Mysore class is not one of the free classes which I am entitled to as a YICC graduate and it in fact cost more than my usual yoga class.
Besides the possibility to attend my favourite yoga class at a cheaper rate, I was also attracted to the idea of being able to attend a variety of fitness programs at different studios. Afterall, I have been thinking of returning to pole and giving spin and barre classes a try...
Pity I didn't managed to get a referral code from said new student but a search on Google quickly brought me to the right site. However, despite the lure of a free week trial, I first opted for a City Guide for undetermined reasons. It actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I was then offered a 2 weeks trial instead! But I kept missing the limited valid time period that in the end I just went with the one week. Better than nothing?!
The trouble began AFTER signing up! The choices are so endless and limitless that even after applying filter for the type of classes I am interested in, I found myself short listing too many options, previewing their reviews and eliminating some and went back to wondering which was the class that caught my attention. In a bid to make the full use of my limited free credits, I got so bogged down by factors such as location and timing that I very nearly forgo the entire freebie!
Thankfully, when I retried a second time I limited myself to one particular evening and was able to select an interesting new class - rope yoga! It was basically a combination of pole and yoga. And it made me realise that this type of membership is perfect for me who appreciates the variety and flexibility it offers. Within that one week, I went on to try another novel program, wheel yoga, and classes at 3 studios that I heard much about but would unlikely to try out without this. In fact, I even managed to try out a meditation class at Vyasa which I would otherwise have to pay for. And the experience was great because signing in was never an issue and I did not feel unwelcome as I initially feared at any of the studio!
So, I became an official member of the Class Pass and began forking out the minimum SGD 59 for their basic package. Hope to be more regular in my yoga practice and of course to finally try out spin and barre (nope, never to HIIT). Just keeping my fingers crossed that the credits for classes do not inflate after the first month?!
If you have been thinking of giving Class Pass a try, I say go for that free week! Better yet, ask me for a referral code and we will both benefit!
