I have to agree that a saving of any sort is always welcomed.
I dont think i explained myself well enough in my first post, if the saving offered to the student is genuine and honourable it is worth having.In the case that i am refering the cash flow at the club has been lacking in the last few months and rumours about not being paid have on occasion been muted.
We (instructors) are being pushed to inprove the cash flow, not to offer the student a genuine discount but to improve the financial standing of a business and in my opinion prop it up. If the said business goes belly up a fair number of students are going to be out of pocket. Only this week I advised one student who wanted to pay £3500 up front for hour building to pay monthly, but only because i know what is going on behind the scenes
At the end of the day all i want to do is highlight the fact that this sort of practice is going on, At some places not all and to hopefully stop a few of us being taken for a ride.
The message has to be don't give up your cash until you are absolutley certain of the financial security of the place you intend to train.
