[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pricing situation does leave a bad taste in my mouth. Though I also recognize that a large number of people attending these classes in DC are price-insensitive. I see them fancy handbags, ladies.

The pricing change impacts the dedicated price-sensitive frequent fliers the most. I bet that they won't sell as many of those new $$ monthly packages as they did the set class packages. I'm also disappointed that there seems to be this large emphasis on expansion. When you go to the website, the main message is all about expansion and... this feels out of touch to me? I personally don't give a sh*t if they're opening a place in Minnesota, Baltimore, or Indiana. I would much prefer that they remain focused on what they already have by getting the best instructors (paying them well!), maintaining the studios AND not bumping up the rates so darn much in a disingenuous way.

Another interesting layer is with optics. In terms of class composition, I bet that these price-sensitive frequent users elevate the classes.  I might be off base, but my game improves when I feel like I'm surrounded by amazingly competent badass folks taking the class.  I feel a little deflated when the class is filled with newbies because I've noticed that instructors have recently started to accommodate new client needs over prioritizing challenging instruction.  This may just be my experience though!  [/quote]

Agreed.  I’ve noticed this too. [/quote]

Interesting.  I haven't noticed this issue, but that's probably a function of the times and classes I take: either 6am and/or arms and abs, neither of which attract a lot of new people.  The last few A&A we have had someone new, and my coach has put them next to me and told them he's putting them next to me on purpose :)  So then I feel like such a stud I work even harder!  I agree though that the dynamic changes a lot when you have tons of new people in class.  Then again, there are also regulars who slack so much that it's a bummer being next to them.  I don't mean taking occasional breaks, I mean like stopping multiple times to chat with the person next to you.  I like being surrounded by badasses, too!

And this is also where the specific coach matters, in that some of them develop such a reputation for being challenging that people who don't want that added challenge will avoid them.  Fine by me!  Just as long as those coaches don't leave.[/quote]
