"  Wanna make sure you get that workout in? Sign up for an exercise class that charges if you don&amp;#039;t show up. Evidence: As the day was winding down and I realized I still had a shit-ton of work to get done, I wanted to cancel my beloved Bikram yoga class, but I couldn&amp;#039;t. I missed the deadline to back out. If you plan on not showing up for a session, you need to sign out of a class at least one hour before it is supposed to start or you will get charged a no-show fee of $22. I ended up going. The idea of seeing an extra charge on my credit card for a class I did not go to was mind-blowing, and all the motivation I needed. It would serve as a reminder of how I chose to be a lazy ass. Eff that. My yoga studio isn&amp;#039;t the only one that pulls this cha-ching trick. SoulCycle does it too. You need to cancel the class by 5 p.m. the day before or face the hard truth of a $35 charge on your card. And at Barry&amp;#039;s Bootcamp, if you don&amp;#039;t cancel the class at least 12 hours in advance, you will get charged for whatever class you were supposed to take. This is basically the ultimate workout guilt trip...and it sure as hell works. If anyone out there is hurting for motivation, sign up for a class that will slap your card with a penalty fee if you don&amp;#039;t go. Trust: You&amp;#039;ll be a regular gym rat/yogi/spin master in no time. Want more from Dara? Follow her on Twitter @dadeeyo.
