I recently moved to Brooklyn and I’m trying to figure out the most cost-effective way to do Pilates consistently.
Right now I go to group reformer Pilates about 3x a week but paying per class adds up really fast. I’ve been looking into memberships, and it seems like Equinox (around $300/month) might actually be one of the better values since it includes group fitness classes, Pilates, and full gym access.
Are there any better options that combine:
Unlimited or generous group Pilates classes
A regular gym with weights/cardio
Good value overall
I’m also a military dependent, so I was wondering if there are any military discounts or programs that could help with gym memberships in NYC.
I’d love to hear what everyone else is doing if you’re a regular Pilates person. Is Equinox really the best deal, or am I overlooking something?

Hiii💕

Looking to workout to LOUD ass house music or dance music, like John Summit, maybe some rock.

I’m open to heated or non-heated.

Manhattan classes & instructors only please!

Living in NYC makes it way too easy to spend money on fitness stuff that sounds good at first: boutique classes, app subscriptions, random programs, expensive gyms, and gear that ends up sitting in the corner.

The one thing that felt worth it was working with a personal trainer. I stopped bouncing between random workouts and started knowing exactly what to do, even when I was just training in my building gym.

Curious what fitness-related expense actually felt worth it for other NYC BWTs.

Hiiii, I just joined Reddit and have no idea how it works. But I seriously need advice in what gym to join? I am a complete beginner focused on bulking up and being fit, and I don’t wanna ruin my perspective of gym by going to a bad one for the first time. If anybody knows any near Stratford, London please let me know. Also, any tips and suggestions are appreciated. xx
