‘I trained at a $10k a year gym and it turned me from cynic to supporter’
I’ve been a member of more than a dozen gyms over the last decade, a fact I don’t tell proudly.
Snap, Anytime Fitness, Goodlife, Jets, World Gym, Fernwood, F45, Fitstop, BFT, EMF.
I’ve hired a PT, even tried my hand at Crossfit, yoga and pilates.
I’ve spent thousands of hours working out , ten times that on gym costs, but sadly, little to show for it physically 12 years on.
So naturally, when I heard about a $10,000 a year gym opening in Brisbane , the cynical journalist in me questioned what could possibly justify such a price.
But, coming off a six-month exercise hiatus and packing a few extra kilos, I decided it was time to get back on the bike, so I signed up for a six-week kickstarter program to find out for myself.
Within the first five minutes of my initial meeting with one of the co-owners I could tell this was going to be different.
