I recently decided to take advantage of Classpass which allows you to attend classes at any participating studio up to a 3x times a month per studio, especially because they had a $19 special for 2 weeks option! I utilized my Classpass to attend a couple Pilates classes at my favorite studio Sweat Pilates. Each class typically costs $35 for 50 mins, but with Classpass, depending on how many classes I would take in the 2 weeks, the cost was super duper low!
I've also always wanted to try kickboxing but with a punching bag so I visited Classic Kickboxing. The instructor was really attentive and passionate which I appreciated. There was a lot of downtime in between as he demonstrated the exercises which made it difficult for me to break a sweat (I don't sweat easily). Also, because it was my first time, I'm sure my technique didn't optimize me for the best workout especially because my wrist was hurting with every impact. All in all, it was a good experience, but I don't think that would be my workout of choice in the future.
Lastly, I have always wanted to try hot yoga, so I visited Santa Anita Hot Yoga. Omg, the room was so warm when I walked in I felt like I couldn't breathe and it only got hotter! I have never sweat so much in my life! I took the beginner's class and it was a little too slow for my liking (though I am not a yoga expert) and the instructor's exhale came with some sort of whistle sound so it was really distracting. I did buy a Groupon for this studio that expires in May so I am sure I will be frequenting this studio, but will probably not take this same class again.
Classpass costs $60/month for 5 classes and $119/month for unlimited classes. I wish I was able to attend a spin class and a barre class, but alas, work got in the way and I couldn't try those classes out. Classpass also includes 1 hour of gym time at Gold's gym, so I think it's worth it if you like to change up your fitness routine. For me, I need to go to the gym more than 3x a month, so I have to pay for my monthly gym membership. On top of that, I already pay for my bootcamp, so to pay for another $119 wouldn't make sense for me right now. I still recommend it though!!

I've realized how grumpy I get if I don't get a workout in especially after sitting all day. Here I am at my ghetto 24 hour fitness gym, lol.
