Bikram Yoga Vancouver

I ended my first time one month trial at Bikram Richmond on Jan 4. So I decided to search for another deal in the Lower Mainland to continue my yoga regime. I found Bikram Yoga Vancouver for a monthly unlimited trial for $35.00 on groupon so I decided to give that location a try. Before I started I read the reviews on google and yelp and some of the comments that people made were pretty on point. Firstly, I started my first class on a Friday night at 7pm. I got there around 6:30 to register. Because my bf has been there before but it has been more then 2 years ago they told him he wasn't eligible to be part of the groupon offer. I read the fine lines and it read that client is not able to use groupon if he or she has been active within the last 18 months. So I told the lady at the counter and she still was persistent about him not being eligible and she explained a little bit of how groupon works but I think you shouldn't be on groupon if you don't agree with the terms. But, eventually she let us use the groupon passes. It was half the size of Richmond's location and the room was pretty packed already but the lady mentioned that the 7pm class will be less people. And they have a ridiculous rent fee for mat, bath towel, mat towel for $7.50 per session. And it was about $45.00 a month for full rental when Richmond Bikram only charges $10.00 for rent for a whole month!
I quickly got changed and the change room was really big and spacious which I really liked. The lockers were 25 cents which I thought was another scam. So I just put my things on the side. Lockers at Richmond was free but limited to about 12 lockers. So when it was 5 mins to 7 people were already going inside the room when there was obviously the last class doing there Shavasana. So people were walking in and out and the room which was so noisy. I usually go inside the room at Richmond location 15 mins prior before class started to stretch and to warm up and to gather myself but there's no opportunity to do so at this location. People were in and out of the room, so noisy. Mats were flapping everywhere, the door was creaking back and forth. Before you know it the instructor came in with a booming voice. It was an hour class. The class structure was pretty much the same. The room was stuffier because it was much smaller. Afterwards headed to wash myself off. Lots of shower space not much wait time. Overall, an ok experience. Let's see how this month goes.
