At the Gym

Joined the gym back in March.. (2013) 

24 hour Fitness

Had a personal trainer for 3 sessions - signed up for an introductory special - he made me work -- my poor sedentary body - my sad - sit at a desk all day at the computer lazy ass carcass.. good - I needed that.. but to continue on with training - $$major$$..  I might try looking into 1/2 sessions - those are more affordable.

I have to say - you can eat off of the floor in this club - it is spotless! They have extra things like RaquetBall and Basketball - also a pool with a Jacuzzi / sauna / and steam room in the immediate area.  N-I-C-E.  I love to swim -- and yes -- I take aqua classes!!  It's awesome!!  You walk in - they give you a clean towel.  They always say 'hello', sometimes you even get 'hello with your name' (to be fair.. they see your name when you use your sign in on the computer/finger scanner gadget - but it's nice nevertheless!!)  They have a juice bar and child care too.. in case you are interested to know. Tons of cardio equipment too!  The regular weights area and circuit machines.. I am happy there.  

There are ALL types of people there - for ALL different reasons.. no one seems to judge there.  I will tell you that I HAD been a member of Bally Total Fitness -- boy was that a meat market! And so congested! And at times intimidating. Love this place - things are more spread out!

A girl from work and I try to go to classes together...
We like the Aqua class ! (It's not just for old fogies!)
We also like 'BodyFlow' - this is a combo TaiChi/Yoga/Pilates
Tried straight up Pilates - woooooooah - I think that we would grade ourselves w/a D - and that is just because we tried so hard.  
We tried Spin - we will do this class now once a week with only one particular instructor. It's hard to stand up sometimes.. but it hurts the butt to sit!  Hahha! We will get used to it :-)
On Saturday - we will try the Step Class.
(We try to do something new every week - if we don't like it - we hold off for a while.. maybe we will revisit with a different instructor - or when we feel stronger)

If I go alone - I usually only just do the elliptical  for an hour.. and perhaps a swim.  On the E - you can plug your Ipod in - it will keep the charge for you and save your workout info - another neat little perk!
