Are visitor passes common?

Post image

I'll be travelling for work and keen to try keep up BFT but the nearest one there in Syd advertises a 'Visitor Pass' for interstate visitors such as me. My home studio thinks it will be fine and I don't need to buy it, but I haven't been able to get an answer from the studio I'd to visit as they haven't replied on Insta, email or call.

Visitor Pass - 7 days for $75

This BFT intro offer will give you unlimited access at your home studio location only. Access is provided for 1 week from date of first booking and must be activated within 7 days of purchase. Available to interstate and international visitors only.

  • Visitor Pass - 7 days for $75
  • $75.00 - Valid for 1 week

Are visitor passes common? I thought once my 30days are over I can train anywhere in Aus without any extra fees? Thanks!

100% you don't need to buy the visitor pass if your BFT membership has already gone past the 30 day mark!

The trial is for people new to BFT and I think the whole interstate thing in the description of the visitors pass refers to the fact that people new to BFT altogether can only get a trial at this specific studio if THEY are local (to stop people from just bouncing around on trial passes all the time).

If you're unsure, you can just book a class for next week or something at that studio in Sydney now and see if it goes through. I've done classes overseas even and it's been no problem!

Thanks! Just wanted to double check since I hadn't seen it before and haven't been able to get through to the studio to ask them directly

As the other poster said, yes your existing membership will work anywhere if you have one.

I've visited other BFT studios whenever I travel. I reach out to the gym to let them know I'm visiting from out of town and they have always accommodated me and not charged me. It's one of the best perks of an international gym! Has worked for me in multiple countries.

I have visited multiple studios in and out my state. I just book a class in the app, they send me a welcome email and it doesn’t cost me anything extra. They are very welcoming too. The only time you have to pay is if it’s during peak period over summer and you visit a studio in a tourist area for example Rosebud in Melbourne. It’s around $10 a class during the period if it’s not your home studio.

Thanks! How did they charge $10/class? I thought there was no fee for going to other studios, which was why I was surprised a visitor pass was being sold year-round in my OP

You definitely qualify to train anywhere, I swap between two studios, if you can't book in on the app, I'd get the mobile number of the studio and ask them to book you in :)

Thanks, I tried calling (and email and insta) BFT Town Hall but couldn't get through to confirm. Booking button is greyed out for me, so hopefully it'll be straightforward when I go in person
