The Fit Post

Why is it that when you go to cancel your gym membership you feel like you’re part of a messy breakup?! There is the usual back and forth of trying to get you to stay…will reduce the rate…next month free…bonus training sessions blah blah blah.  Then once they realize that your mind is set, out comes the hardball – suddenly there are cancellation fees…have to go to another location to sign the papers…need to wait for a manager.  I finally bit the bullet yesterday and called it off with the old ball n’ chain and instead, ran to the arms of a hot younger thing named YogaWorks.

YogaWorks recently opened a beautiful new SoHo studio and lured me into a contract with some of their year end promotions (this would be the honeymoon phase of the relationship cycle…). Purchase 10 months and get 3 months free or for those commitment phobics out there, $30 for two weeks of unlimited yoga.  The loft style (isn’t everything these days?)  space includes three large studios plus a private practice room.  With everything made of eco-friendly materials (bamboo, low-VOC finishes), common areas include free computers and internet (this doesn’t seem very yogi of them…), tea stations, saunas and cushioned waiting areas to occupy your time before class.  I took an Anusara class with Julie Dohrman and it was phenomenal.

I think this may be ‘the one.’
