Bikram Yoga JFK St. Cambridge, MA

Today I went to the Bikram Yoga Studio in Cambridge, MA to try to take advantage of their promotional yoga package of $20 for 10 days of unlimited access to classes. This is what happened to me . . .
I find the studio rather easily, though finding a 2 hr. parking space and feeding it 8 quarters was more challenging actually. It's a second floor walk up, clearly marked sign-age. The lobby is small but not crowded even though I'm only eight minutes early. There are two women at the reception counter . . . basically one was asking for the same 'deal' that I was so it was easy to approach the woman passing out the clipboards for our information and tell her that I too was interested in 'joining up'. Now this is where it started to get interesting . . . as the girl starts asking the girl behind the counter questions another one walks up and states that she needs to leave the class ten minutes early to make a 5pm appt. (The class was starting at 3:30) She was told no . . . she couldn't exit the class early. At first I thought it was a joke. I'd never experienced that before! So the girl walks out . . . she needed that ten minutes.
So, I go up and pass in my clipboard and as I start getting a bad feeling as the first girl decides that she isn't prepared for the class either and walks out. Now two people have left, in as little as two minutes. I'm about to hand over my $20 when I remember to ask about the temperature of the room . . . which is HUGELY important to me as a yoga practitioner . . . and serious heat wimp. She informs me that it's 115 degrees in the room . . . holy crude!! With this practice it's 26 sustained poses in an hour and a half class . . . OK, maybe I can do it. Maybe. I waver a bit and ask the receptionist if I can't leave the class then can I just try it before I commit to the ten days? I mean it's possible that with only 26 poses I might make it . . . or I might not.
Her answer, no . . .
She rudely tells me that the studio I'd been trying out earlier in the week was only kept at 96 degrees and if I couldn't handle that temperature, then I wouldn't be able to handle theirs . . . these are her words not mine!
And that was that. In the course of less than five minutes she turned away three new clients. I mean sure, I personally know that 115 degrees is probably no my 'cupa tea' but what if the other two became inspired by it and decided to become lifelong clients.
Bad form, Bikram Yoga!
