| - I have been to Quad East an additional four or five times since my original review because of circumstances that allowed me to attend at a reduced rate.
I still think that the price is excessive and, I would have thought, uncompetitive in the market. I am clearly wrong about the uncompetitive part at least, as the classes are often rammed, so evidently to a lot people find the price to be reasonable.
As is typical with this type of thing, some instructors are better than others, but in general the quality of instruction is quite good. I also do spinning at the Adelaide Club and I would say the main difference is that Quad East is a bit more fun. The Adelaide Club tends towards training as though you are going to be in a bike race or triathlon. At Quad it's more about the workout itself, rather than long term training. Another benefit to Quad is that you can show up at any class at any time and it's not as though your jumping into the middle of an 8 week program. At the Adelaide Club the intent seems to be that you go to the same class every week, which is unrealistic in my opinion.
Basically Quad East is a three in my mind, so I balanced out my previous two star review with a four star this time. It has good classes, balanced against high prices. I still think the change rooms are terrible and the shower situation is a joke, but frankly most people show up, work out and leave without actually going up there.
Because of the price difference I am going to stick with the Adelaide Club, but I now understand the affinity of many toward Quad.
