I am 2/3 of my way through a 3 class trial with a new gym. It’s called the Yard, and was actually started in Australia, and has now since expanded to the States.
I really like it. They offer two options, Rig (a strength based class) and Turf (more cardio focussed). I’ve tried both, and they have exceeded my expectations. Nice people, competent trainers, great program.
I would love to return after our winter sojourn, but it IS expensive. $50 a week is pretty steep compared to my $20 a month (not a typo) rec centre membership.
There are no solutions, only trade offs.
