When we talk about fitness, it’s easy to get caught up in the price of membership fees at different gyms. Many gyms, particularly franchise gyms, offer group fitness classes at no additional charge on top of your monthly membership. These are usually free and might even seem like a good deal—who doesn’t love the idea of joining a group workout with no extra cost? But let’s take a closer look at the real value of these classes compared to more personalized coaching, such as what you might get at our gym and CrossFit gyms.
In a typical gym offering group fitness classes, you might find yourself in a room with 20 plus, other people, all following along to an instructor who’s stationed at the front of the room. While the energy can be high and the music loud, the instructor rarely has the time or opportunity to check in on each individual. They can’t correct your form or adjust exercises to fit your specific needs.This can often feel like a one-size-fits-all experience. For some, this is not a problem at all. But if you need more help - you end up going through the motions without the targeted feedback that could push you toward your goals, or even worse, you might risk injury if your form is off.
In contrast, fitness coaching models tend to be smaller classes, often with a coach guiding a group of 8-12 people. More importantly, they’re designed to offer individual attention within a group setting. Your coach knows your goals, your strengths, and any limitations you might have. They're right there with you, correcting your form, encouraging you to push harder, and ensuring you're getting the most out of every movement. Sure, you’re paying more for this service, but you’re getting far more value in return—personalized coaching that leads to faster results, better form, and ultimately, fewer injuries. And in the long run, that can save you a lot of money by avoiding doctor visits or costly rehab.
Now, let’s talk about how the cost of personalized coaching compares with everyday expenses, which makes the price a lot more manageable when you break it down. For example, think about your daily coffee run. A decent coffee from a cafe can cost anywhere from $6 to $7 a pop, and if you’re going twice a day, that’s easily $12-$14 a day. Over a month, that’s as much as $420! That’s actually way more than our most expensive membership and the same could be said for most CrossFit and similar gyms. The difference? One is investing in your health, and the other is fueling a temporary caffeine buzz.
Another comparison might be your lunch habits. How often do you buy lunch instead of preparing something at home? A quick trip to a food court might cost $10-$15 per meal. If you eat out five times a week, that’s $50-$75 per week, which adds up to $200-$300 a month. Again, that’s much more than a membership at our gym, that offers personalized fitness coaching aligned with your goals. But while that lunch will fuel you for a few hours, a fitness membership is an investment in your health, your energy levels, and your long-term well-being.
When you think about it, the small changes we make in our daily habits—like cutting back on coffee or eating out—can easily free up the funds for a higher-quality fitness program. And this investment pays off by giving you the tools to lead a healthier, stronger, and more energetic life. Fitness is a long-term journey, and if you want to truly succeed, the best option is often to invest in something that will give you real results rather than settling for cheaper alternatives that leave you with little to show for it.
At the end of the day, it’s all about where you choose to spend your money and what is most important to you. The cost of personalized coaching may seem higher at first glance, but when you compare it to what you’re spending on daily non-essentials, it becomes clear that it’s not just affordable—it’s an investment in your future. Fitness is a lifelong journey, and putting in the effort now means a healthier, happier you for years to come.
