Creator analyzes NYC fitness costsfrom @caseymorrowlewis

York City might be the only place in the world where you can hear someone complain they're broke while swiping into a 500 a month equinox. According to this news story in The Cut, women in the city now spend an average of $270 a month on fitness, with boutique drop in classes averaging 40 to $50 This is a huge jump from the $20 SoulCycle era, as TikToker Carolyn Rose points out. She's the one who's been tracking studio prices on that viral spreadsheet you've probably seen. This article name checks Kate Keenan and Hallie Kate as girls who frequently turn their expensive workout classes into content moments, but this isn't just a hobby for aspirational influencers. One 25 year old that The Cut interviewed spends $800 a month across five Pilates memberships alone. I wanna know is how a 25 year old is affording $800 in Pilates memberships on top of New York City rent. They don't get into that. Obviously, part of what is driving this behavior is being healthy or being skinny, but there's also an exhibitory aspect happening here when you add social media into it because so many of these girls are recording their workouts in addition to actually experiencing their workouts. I don't know what's more surprising to me about this whole trend, like tier presentation of it all or the cost of it all.
