    Love the cost per use method EH!  I use the same thing for my P3l3ton app subscription, which only gets used for yoga, strength & meditation classes.  It's been well worth it during the past couple of years especially on days where we've been relegated to the indoors when I've sometimes used it twice a day, but in months where I've commuted into the office more regularly, I have to make a real effort to use it on the weekends to keep that cost per use down!
