Does the Council gym offer classes you can join in?

Iâm undecided on whether or not I should cancel my gym membership and switch to the council instead. The gym Iâm currently at is a group fitness gym which is a highly motivating and supportive environment, and great for socialising considering I donât really have a third space. However, I miss going to a gym with machines and the council one has a pool. Plus itâs cheaper. Only the social aspect missing. I think itâs a case of loss aversion here.

Yep, they offer the standard sort of gym classes.

I use a council gym and itâs fab. Pretty cheap ($36/fortnight for the top membership which includes reformer pilates) and itâs pretty social too. With really lovely staff and a mandate from council around social inclusion and engagement and stuff. They run events, thereâs a cafe, and itâs just a really nice vibe.
Itâs not actually my closest council gym though, I travel (a whole ten minutes) to a neighbouring LGA for a shiny new facility.

Thatâs really cheap for reformer pilates too!

Can you get a casual pass to visit the council one a few times to try it out? Idk maybe thereâs something that would sway your decision.
Or maybe even get a casual pass to use the pool and machines whenever you want to.
Thatâs if they still offer that

the social aspect is of very great value. I would stay where you are.

Thatâs the part I donât want to give up. Being in a group setting is motivating.
