Yes it is $26 in the Boston area just to drop in. Even the $199 for 10 classes seems outrageous.

I thought it was way too much money for what was offered. When I tried it, they tried to sell it to me as personal training. There was nothing personal about it, I was in a class with about 15 other people. It cost $30 a class, too pricey for me.
I decided i would (most likely) never join a Gym again. I like to sign up short term for fitness classes, or go to Zumba where you can pay by the class. I hate paying money if I don't go, and too much time. I also try to think long-term...is this something I can sustain or want to? The answer to the gym is no.
I have switched my routine up over my WLS journey. Swim, trampoline...Since last October I discovered Beach Body videos and fell in love with them. I do not sell them, DO not do their diets, or use shakeology....just to make it clear. Different routine everyday for a week, so I don't get bored. But the only way I will do it is if I roll out of bed and do it right away. I drink a pre-workout drink, add 16oz water to it. Do my 30 minutes and done. I have seen results. Even had 2 Plastic Surgeons tell me I had good Abs. Love the 21-day-fix. I do modify where I need to. Didn't like 21 day fix extreme. have also done 22-min hard Corp. And am considering buying Cize which is dancing....Summer is almost here so I will start swimming again.

You are running way to often even with me training for a ultra I am not running 5 days a week you need to be only running 3 days a week. Lets say tue make it an hour run Thursday tempo run and long run on Saturday or Sunday. I have never trained by distance but my time. and only build up slowly on the long runs. Make sure you are doing strength training also and every so often you need recover time. If you need help message me and I will help you
I used Hal Higdons training. Due to some ITBS, I did a 15k one month before the half and didn't run a mile in between. I ran the whole thing around an 11:30 pace.
Things I learned
- no excuses for missing training except injuries that require rest - not even broken ear phones and/or no music.
- try new routes to keep from getting bored (I love finding areas with lots of walkers/runners for motivation)
- run once in a while for fun and ignore the GPS/pace. Have fun with cross training too.
- figure out your own hydration/nutrition needs. There's no one size fit all. I picked a half with lots of course support because I HATE carrying all my water with me.
- Never buy/use new shoes for a half (yeah...learned the hard way). Invest in a good pair of socks.
- Make it about the process and not the end result.
- Never take running for granted - got to my lowest post op weight, ran my 1st half, and 3 months later my back went out and now (2 back surgeries later) have never been able to run again. I still walk 1/2 marathons because I think it's a fun challenging distance.
