Is Freestyle Step Really Worth Paying for?

Is Freestyle Step Really Worth Paying for?

What do I get in return?

In this day and age, the cost of living is rising by the hour. When you’re trying to keep fit, it can be pretty hard to afford to go to the gym every month, especially if you want clothes on your back and food on your table as well. It’s all about priorities. We all know that Freestyle Step is an awesome way to work out, but can you really justify paying out for classes? The question is: is Freestyle Step really worth it?

Anybody who’s ever even thought about joining a gym or attending an exercise class will know that the cost is exorbitant. If you’ve found a gym that doesn’t need you to re-mortgage your house in order to join, then kudos to you. Depending on how lucky (or unlucky) you are, you could end up paying hundreds each month. What do you get in return? Little more than the use of some special equipment for a few hours.

What’s more, independent instructors who attend your home for a training session, do cost a bomb. Just because they’re freelance and not tied to a gym doesn’t mean that they’re worth paying for. Yet, somehow, they seem to think that just because they can come and help you work out in your own home, they should charge a fortune!

Before you go paying through the nose for any sort of gym membership or fitness class, stop and think. What do you really want to get out of it? You have to weigh up in your mind whether a class really suit you. Here are a few thoughts that will hopefully guide you towards making the right decision…

What’s the alternative?


It’s actually not too difficult to recreate a pretty good fitness class experience in your own home – unless you’re joining to use the pool or the exercise machines, that is! Stick on an exercise DVD, buy a few weights, and even get a few friends round to join in. So…what’s the point in paying out to do the same thing somewhere else?


The advantages of joining a Freestyle Step class

Well, joining a Freestyle Step class with a properly trained instructor actually has a whole host of benefits. It’s really intense, it’s really energetic, and it’s really fun. This is one class that will give you a full body workout – and I mean everything. Freestyle Step even goes as far as getting your mind working, as you need an awful lot of coordination in order to keep your feet working in time with the rest of you! No matter how much you prance around in your front room, you just won’t achieve the same level of workout.

Then, of course, there’s the fact that each Freestyle Step class is completely unique. The trained instructors can create their own routines and adjust them to suit everyone’s abilities, so it’s almost like having a tailor-made class to suit you. You’ve got to admit that that beats putting on an exercise DVD and busting out the same routine every. Single. Day.

One of the best things that you will gain from joining a Freestyle Step class is the social aspect. Most people tend to join the gym to get fit rather than to meet people, so you’re not likely to meet your new best friend there. However, working out with others is an incredible motivator. We’ve all been in that situation where we were full of good intentions to work out, but suddenly our underwear needed ironing, the dog needed a pedicure and the lawn needed hoovering. Luckily, in a proper Freestyle Step class, you won’t be allowed to have any tenuous excuses not to get involved.

Last, but certainly not least, there’s the fact that a professional Freestyle Step instructor is trained in a little more than just teaching you how to climb onto a step in an artistic way. These brilliant men and women know all about working out safely, so if you already have an injury – or even worse, if you injure yourself right in the middle of a class – then they’ll be there to help. Think about it: if you’re at home, or if you just went to the pool or the gym to work out on your own, then you’d have no-one to help you. If you’re going solo, there’s always the risk that you’ll cause yourself further damage as well, but in a Freestyle Step class the instructor can adjust the routine to suit you. Win!
