JS Classes and This

I'm curious if there is a way to avoid using arrow functions for methods you want to keep bound to the instance. For example,

class Pog{

  works = () => console.log(this)

  notworks(){
    console.log(this)
  }
}

const pog = new Pog()
const works = pog.works
const notworks = pog.notworks

works() // Pog {...
notworks() // undefined

class Pog{

  works = () => console.log(this)

  notworks(){
    console.log(this)
  }
}

const pog = new Pog()
const works = pog.works
const notworks = pog.notworks

works() // Pog {...
notworks() // undefined
