The quality of the classes is impeccable. It&amp;#x27;s like they&amp;#x27;ve been produced with TV budgets! This price does also include the digital membership which has yoga, boxing and loads of other type of workouts.&lt;p&gt;The bike (Bike+) is expensive but it&amp;#x27;s a solid piece of kit and does come with a 24 inch (Android) tablet.&lt;p&gt;Edit: Forgot to say, the £40&amp;#x2F;month is per bike, not per member. So you can have your entire family using the bike for the £40&amp;#x2F;month.</text></comment>
