I'm in Arlington Heights. Anyone know of a YMCA or fitness place that offers classes?

Thanks!!

    Understand the sentiment (and think it would be preferable to doing it alone at home! :) - but you'll likely not find a exact P90X class (nor should it be available under normal conditions).

    Reason:
    P90x is a product sold for individual home use.

    That licensing agreement does NOT extend to not-for-profit, commercial use.

    IF they do 'offer classes'-
    Beachbody's legal department will (rightfully) come down on them like a ton of bricks for use in a commercial establishment (even if non-profit, not-for-profit), especially if they charge for the class.

    This is not specific to Beachbody- it's true for ANY exercise DVD/program series that has NOT been licensed for commercial use.
    (We went through a similar situation at our local community center with a different exercise company.
    Don't go there! - BIG headache!)

    What I might do (as I understand the sentiment, but have lived this! ha!):
    You could check in at the Beachbody.com community forums (find a local area coach and ask if they have licensed classes) - that could be a possibility.

    Best of luck! :)
    (Am aspiring to be able to do the program myself one day! :)
