The management team just confirmed that these classes will remain part of our standard membership tier. I am incredibly relieved that I can keep attending my Tuesday sessions without having to pay extra for the privilege. Thank you for staying loud with me until they finally listened.

Dear Clubsports San Jose Management Team,
We demand that you keep, at the minimum, the Heated Yoga/Barr and Heated yoga Strength sessions (Tues/Thursday) in their current category (i.e., Group Fitness) so that all members, old and new, of Clubsports can continue to benefit from these classes which had always been offered as core/standard programs at Clubsports San Jose for many years.
While we are aware that you are offering a new membership upgrade (Elevate) which provides unlimited access to a total of 22 classes/programs (spanning from Monday to Sunday), they are still basically the same old classes, being offered in more sessions.
We suppose that this new membership Elevate will benefit greatly for those who have A LOT OF TIME to hopefully commit to most if not ALL of the ‘new’ classes, with the most offering of 5 classes spaced out from 8:30am to 7:30pm day on Tuesdays and Thursdays (which are work days btw). However, it is outrageous, a business practice, to make exclusive of these existing core classes, which have been free to all, and force an up-charge on long-time members without much regard for their individual workout habits/schedules/capabilities. The majority of members who currently attend these heated classes are not young single energetic 20 somethings. We have busy lives, jobs, families, and kids. We are exhausted and more than grateful to just make it to 1 or 2 heated classes per week, AT THE MAXIMUM.
Keep your members, keep Heated Yoga/Barr inclusive (not exclusive to Elevate)!

Seeing the response build up this quickly proves I am not the only one frustrated by these sudden changes to our yoga and barre schedule. It means everything to see so many of you fighting to keep our fitness home accessible for those of us juggling real life commitments.

Since joining your club (over 5years) & I was attracted to ur wide range of group fitness classes & specially the heated classes. Due to busy schedule, i can only attend 1 class per day & one of them are the heated yoga classes. Please keep at least the two heated yoga classes in the current group fitness program.
This is very upsetting as a long loyal member. This is a business decision so you can bring in more people so you make more money. Why should the loyal members who have been with gym long time have to pay for you making more money.
The reason I joined cause here I had combination of Pilates and weight class. I switched from yoga studio to this club. If you remove it I should consider going back. If I wanted to pay almost $200 a month I would joined the bay club court side!
We strongly feel a sudden explosive increase of more than 40% fee is unfair. The US inflation rate is under 2%, and this kind of fee increase will contribute to exert undue pressure to further inflationary trend in our region, which we should try to resist collectively as a responsible consumer.
Yes I can attend the hot room only once/week, it doesn’t make any sense to pay extra just to get into the same class!
I don't think it's fair they are adding this elevate level.
Standard membership should included heated classes

I joined club sports specifically for the variety of free classes offered at the club. since joining, i’ve experienced a couple of rate hikes and justified staying because of these classes. at this point an additional cost to take a class that was previously free is beyond unfair. I am appealling to the management to keep the heated yoga class free of charge
