ClassPass is $125/mo.

Twice a week personal training is 8 sessions a month. That's $875 per month. Divided by 8 it is slightly less $110 per hour. A good personal trainer can easily charge $110 per hour, including facilities charges.

C'mon. I agree a gym membership is required, but a 1k/month personal trainer is certainly not.
