Flexibility. Classes are offered seven days a week throughout the day so you’re sure to find a time and class that fits your schedule.
Value. Group Fitness Passports are available in denominations of 5, 10, 20 or 40 classes so you can choose the passport that’s right for you. The higher the passport denomination, the less you pay per class. A PCHF membership is not required to purchase a Passport. Passports expire six months from date of purchase.
