Okay....Doing the Membership Thing
I have a membership to Planet Fitness, which has it's pros and cons. Cheap, but they keep taking out equipment I like, so I stopped going.
There's an LA Fitness 1.24 miles from my house. I realize the monthly membership is going to be quite more than I pay now, but they have a bunch of ammenities the other place just doesn't have. So I'm biting the bullet and going over there right after I get out of work today to make a choice on a membership. I need to be going for my pre-op stuff, my doctor will be thrilled...and I made an insane promise to some ironman guy who's probably reading this. :D
Happy New Year. I'll be posting again tomorrow.

i switched from LA Fitness to Lifetime about 3 years ago, you pay a lot more, but wow, it really is a nice gym. LA Fitness should be fine to start out, if you have younger kids, Lifetime may be a better choice if money isn't much of an issue.
Where are we going?? And why am I in this handbasket??
right now. somewhere. somebody is working harder than you.

She shoots! She scores!!
I'm now a member at Madison Athletic Club in Madison Heights, MI (not too far from home). 29.95 per month, I only had to pay the first two months and that was it. The gal who took me around gym, Jenny, was awesome. She didn't sell me, she gave me a tour. The facility is awesome. And it's so clean, which was something I asked her about when I called the gym. Turns out we both used to go to a place on the other side of town. She though it was dirty, I picked up an infection there.
The wally-ball room was awesome, and I'm hoping to drag some friends there and have some fun. It's been years since I've played. Anyways, they have a room for classes. There was all the standard equipment for bands, step, floor, etc. Then all this stuff hanging from a steel structure. TRX Suspension Training. Duuuuuuuuuude! That's an additional cost, but it's minor.
The spin room...I actually got loud and squealed a little. I know it's going to kick my butt...but...I was super excited over spin classes.
Anyways, I explained to Jenny what was coming around the corner for me and she got excited FOR me. She took me back to her office and showed me a picture of her. She's lost 90 pounds over the last year or so. She offered to be my cheerleader, and told the trainer I'll be having a session with on Tuesday I was her new BFF. I laughed the whole time.
I get ten free sessions with the trainer unitl the 14th of January. Then sessions are $45.00 each. He's kinda hot. I could wing it. LOL
SUCH a good day!
