Did they let you train for free since you’re an IFBB pro? Or did you have to pay the $50 drop in. When I was there in the summer they wanted me to pay $50. I didn’t bother I just went to LA fitness.
This has galled me for a while. It's an insult to the sport and also honsetly just bad business for a place that is the Mecca. $25 or $30 for a signle day fine, but $50 is just a clip joint insult. And as total revenue it's a pittance. I'm certain it deters enough so they are actually making less money for something that costs them no additional expense (a few more a day at best in a very large gym). They also are losing goodwill and pictures from fans who want to stop in.
I can easily afford, but it's not like it's Disneyland.
