> Doesn't hurt that in-person spin classes regularly cost $30-40 for a single class.

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.




That's a long tail. The ones who go to classes all the time buy packages that are $200-$300/mo unlimited or use ClassPass.


$200/mo to get yelled at an unlimited number of times sounds equally insane.


Not if you don't want to spend your late thirties on dealing with the health problems.


That'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.


Those are the tales that are told by the majority of the people who somehow can never make it to the gym.
