Big Vanilla

Does anyone belong to Big Vanilla in Pasadena??? 

 I do.

 I use to but they are a RIP OFF!!! So many have dropped out of there. I pay 19 a month now for the same thing whi*****ludes unlimited tanning which I dont even use ;o) but its still a TON cheaper then BV was for me. 

Where to you go now for $19 a month???

 Planet Fitness in Glen Burnie but that 19 a month includes unlimited tanning which I never ever use! For 9.99 a month you get UNLIMITED WORKOUT SESSIONS!!! Its so darn CHEAP! Mike went in and paid 180 cash about a year ago for an 18 month session. It is so CHEAP there girl!!!! I dont need to pay 100 more for the fancy water bottles or decorations hanging on the walls ha ha ha

cool - im going to check it out!

I'm a member there....and, while I agree with Jill that it is expensive, I love it.

The place has more of a community feel to me - and is the only gym that I have been to that I found the people friendly.  My kids do camps there during the summer (for extra cost, but they love it), and we let them swim after our workouts - so they look forward to going to the gym too!  It really has made fitness a family goal for us.

I am a member to and know it's expensive, but I love the pool and aqua fitness classes...so to me it's worth it...I get really bored with regular excercise equipment and have to be in the water...does anyone do the classes or water classes..if so let me know, maybe we can meet up there one evening...

I agree with Melodie. There is a definite 'community feel' that I like. My son loves the pool, and he loves the that it's available in the winter (he thinks it's really cool to be swimming when there is sonow outside).

I take the Group Power classes, usually in the mornings, and I really like them. I worked with one of the trainers there (Margaret -- and she was great!) The sessions became cost-prohibitive, but she really taught me a lot.

The membership is on the expensive side, but I guess whatever gets each of us to the gym & moving is worth it!
