Tuition and Punch Cards
There are three ways to pay for classes: monthly tuition, punch cards, and per-class drop-ins. If you’re taking more than one class per month tuition almost always works out to be less expensive, and ensures you have a spot every week. However, if your schedule is variable, a 10-session punch card may be the solution. Below is a price comparison of monthly tuition vs 10-class punch cards vs drop-in classes.
