I live in the south but because of my love for hi-lo and step classes, I’ll be traveling all the way up north this coming holiday to attend the advanced step class of a certain Fernando at Fitness First Greenhills. Why go so far, you may wonder. This is because free style hi-lo and step classes, which our group enjoys the most, are already a scarcity in Fitness First Alabang. So scarce, that there is only one free style hi-lo class available in the group exercise schedule of the club. And because of this, I am really considering suspending my membership and purchasing home gyms instead. The latter may initially burn a hole in my pocket but I think it will be a good investment in the long run.
I used to go to the gym four times a week, mainly because of the several free style aerobic classes my fitness center is offering. Unfortunately, they have cut the number of free style classes to just twice a week and have replaced it classes which I really don’t find stimulating at all. Since this affected my exercise schedule drastically, I am seriously considering taking yoga and pilates classes in lieu of the cancelled classes. But then I learned that these classes are scheduled during work hours, which means it is almost impossible for me to be attend these classes. What if I buy a pilates or yoga dvd instead and just exercise within the comfort of my own home? I don’t know, as I really enjoy doing my exercises in a group. If there’s no improvement in the center’s schedule within the next couple of months, I might consider this option. But until that time comes, I’ll just hang on to my twice a week gym schedule.
