Had to pick between a gym with classes vs. one with just machines. Classes won by a mile.
I spent like 3 weeks going back and forth between Planet Fitness for $10 a month and a local gym that costs $40 with included group classes. Finally tried the class gym for a week and the difference was HUGE - having an instructor push me through a 45 minute circuit made me actually finish workouts instead of quitting after 15 minutes. Has anyone else found that paying more for structure actually saves you money in the long run since you stick with it?

You mentioned "structure actually saves you money" and I think that's the part most people miss. The way I see it, the extra cost for classes acts like a penalty for skipping, because when I paid $40 I felt obligated to show up and get my money's worth. That little push from the price tag got me going three times a week, which made the per-visit cost way less than the cheap gym where I barely went.

Did a friend try that and still bail after week two?
