Pricing Notes

Official price page (source 2): Single Workout Drop-In $30; Day Pass $45 (one class or open gym plus one contrast therapy session); Week Unlimited Club Pass $75 (no commitment); Club Pass 10 Pack $275 (valid 1 year); Strike Club $28.50 per week; 2x/Week $155 per 4 weeks; Unlimited $215 per 4 weeks; Open Gym membership $125 per 4 weeks; Annual $2449 per year ($189 per 4 weeks). Memberships need a 4-week commitment. The site's register button advertises 7 Workouts for $20 (source 2). Cancellation notice is listed as 4 weeks on the membership page (source 1) and 1 week on the prices page (source 2), so confirm before signing. The junior athletes page (source 8) lists a $35 drop-in, $90 weekly pass and $330 monthly package, which conflict with the main price page. A Reddit thread (source 9) reports a $10 day pass and $35 per month, which is old and unofficial. A Google AI overview (source 10) repeats the $30 drop-in and $45 day pass. City research notes (source 11) report drop-ins from $25 to $30 from third-party directories. Monthly unlimited is null because the only unlimited plan is a 4-week term.
