I like Equinox, mostly because it's the only gym I've ever been able to go to consistently. I'm in…read morePasadena and I pay $240/month. Mine doesn't have a pool. I think whether it's worth it really depends on how you use it. If you're just using it like a normal gym, it's obviously way overpriced. But if you actually take advantage of the classes and amenities, it is worth it. The floor Pilates classes are free but the reformer classes are extra. The classes are really high quality with good instructors. For me especially because I hate packing stuff and they provide everything you need for all classes. Even for yoga, you don't have to bring anything. You just show up and they have mats, bolsters, blankets, and everything is clean and ready to go. For me personally, I use it as an escape because I can hit the steam room and take a shower sort of like a spa pass. They provide all the bath products too. I'm not a huge fan of the products themselves, they are drying kind of like hotel products,, but at least they're there, so I don't have to think about packing anything. Another thing is that it removed a lot of barriers because they provide towels, which are always clean and fluffy (and I don't have to wash). I can show up in workout clothes with a water bottle and everything else is provided. As with any gym, though, it's not worth it if you don't actually use it. It's also not a huge social scene, which might be a downside for some people but is an upside for me. I can go work out without worrying about having to talk to people or have awkward interactions around equipment. There aren't tons of people taking selfies or clogging up machines and walkways. It also doesn't get super crowded, which I think is partly because of the price point. Those are all huge pluses for me, but I'm on the more introverted side and just trying to work out, not update my social media or make new friends at the gym. I'm basically paying to remove barriers that usually prevent me from going to regular gyms, plus the classes are quality. I don't have to wait for equipment or deal with a bunch of little obstacles that make me less likely to go. They validate parking, which is another big plus. Between the parking, classes, towels, showers, and amenities, there are basically no barriers. The customer service is also really good, I've never had an unpleasant interaction on my way in or out at the front desk, so the whole experience is low stress. I used someone's referral code from here when I joined and got a gift shop credit/didn't have to pay the initiation fee. Everyone I know has been able to join without paying the invitation fee, so don't pay it, they will find a way to waive it because they want your business. I used someone else's link from reddit, but it got taken down. It got the fee waived and I got a credit, so I'm posting my link in case it helps someone else. https://equinox.com/referrals/003A000001TO5GKIA1 Bottom line is it's worth it if it actually gets you to go or you're already paying for classes somewhere else. If you're already paying for yoga classes somewhere else, that's probably close to $100 a month by itself, and you usually don't get all the extra amenities. For me, the biggest value is that it removes barriers and makes it easy and low stress so I don't avoid it. Having everything provided and not having to plan or prepare makes me much more likely to go consistently and yeah, I could save money and go somewhere else, but I wouldn't go, thus my Equinox membership.

I've tried so many of the instructors, and everyone has their own vibe. Some are harder than others. It's really cool to figure out your favorites, and switch things up when needed etc. Unlike many other Lagree Studios, when you walk in, you enter a lobby first..Not just boom there's the machines and a cubbyhole for your things. There's a full lobby with seating and a separate room to place your items. The machines are further in the back in another room, which disconnects you from the entry door and windows. So when you're in session, you're not distracted by cars driving by or anything like that. I also really like the ambience. I prefer dark over squeaky bright studios. When it's time for class, the music is blaring and you lock tf in. The instructors are good at correcting your form when needed, and you can tell that the studio has a great deal of respect for Lagree. I've heard people complain about the parking, and I totally get it. But typically if you arrive 10 to 15 minutes before your class, parking shouldn't be an issue. Ive only ever had an issue when I'm running a little late. You can have private events here too which is nice. I celebrated my birthday and it was cute and something different to do with my friends.

There are plenty of Lagree studios in the area, but I chose Formation after reading reviews -- and…read moreI'm glad I did. Everything I found in my research was true: Formation is the most technical, structured, and form‑focused studio around. The instructors pay close attention to your form and give real corrections so you get the most out of every movement. They're not the type of studio that hands you matcha for showing up, but they do run challenges and reward you for hitting milestones, which feels much more meaningful. The space isn't bougie; it's clean, functional, and designed for training, not selfies. It creates an environment where utility comes first, and you never feel intimidated walking in.

I've tried so many other places like soccer, volleyball and even tried basketball, but they all didn't help, he just not want to participate.

And whats so good is, it beyond my expectation, my son told me, he loves playing here, i was shocked, asked him why, he said there is a PBA staff, which is a young lady, who hand in hand to get him to the court and show him something fun, and slowly bring him to the group where he can meet and play with other kids.

My son had been going to Tuesday night sessions for almost two years…read more Last year Young Kings merged with Precision basketball and the fees went up, community and camraderie went down. I recently asked for a pause on my membership and they would only refund 50% of the month even though the month sessions hadn't started yet. Their website has two conflicting statements about refunds and they chose to honor the one in their favor instead of their client. So instead of just saying "hey no problem sorry our website had the wrong info here's your refund" they instead refused and would only refund 50%. They felt that $70 was more important then keeping a monthly customer paying $140. I went ahead and cancelled and will not be returning, the fees are really high and the customer service is terrible. There's plenty of places to ball in Pasadena besides young kings. Editing my review to answer Yaroslav - While I appreciate your answer you neglected to acknowledge the fact that you have two contradictory policies in place on your website - One that says you get a full refund within seven days and one that doesn't. So again, instead of giving a long standing client the benefit of the doubt you chose to err in your own favor just to keep my $70 over acknowledging the error on your website. It says a lot about how you treat your business. And as far as all of your nice words concerning the Tuesday night sessions the truth is there very little structure and minimal moderation to these sessions.
