Find a new Gym

I was going to Curves, but got super bored there. I found a FREE women’s fitness center that’s more like a real gym with machines, weights, etc. than circuit training. It is in a community center less than a mile from my house. I like that it’s so close and I LOVE that it’s free – check your city’s webpage, you may have a free gym in your area that you don’t know about!

I recently transferred from Pinnacle to Gold’s Gym against my will. Pinnacle closed down and I needed to find a new gym. Although I like Golds because the trainers are more competent and accommodating but their place is not as big as Pinnacle. I miss Coy too.. I wonder what gym is he a member of now…

I’ve also gotten used to the people in Pinnacle, I’ve been a member there for more than a year now and it is home for me. Now, I’m going to have to start over again with Golds.

Gosh.. isnt this the year of starting over for me..

Joined a gym this week. Have only gone once though and used the elliptical machine. I’ve missed those machines.

I’m ashamed at how long this goal has taken me to complete. After my last gym closed down, I was tossing up between two new ones. My aerobics instructor moved to one, however it had quite expensive fees, and the other one was cheaper and had a better variety of classes, but I still wasn’t sure. Anyway, as I discovered today, my old instructor is teaching a few classes at the cheaper gym – so I couldn’t be happier!

All I have been doing lately is running…. and running… and to be quite honest, when I run all the time it gets really repetitive and I stop enjoying it as much. So going to an aerobics class this afternoon was excellent. Definately a nice way to spice things up and keep it interesting.

Right, I think I know what I’m going to do…. I’ve found two gyms I like. My old instructor is at one, and they do the ‘attack’ class (lots of cadio and energy) at the other. So…. I’m going to get a full membership at the one my old instructor is at (as they run a lot of good classes) and then buy passes to ther other gym in bulk (if you buy gym passes in bulk you ge them at a very discounted price), enabling me to go to the ‘attack’ classes each week still. Once I’m back from the holidays I’ll put my plan into action.

I’m still devastated about my last gym closing down and am clinging onto hopes that it will reopen in the new year. However, in the meantime I have tried two other gyms out (pretty much the ONLY other two in the area) but nothing quite compares. The first one didn’t leave a very good impression and am reluctant to go back, however I’m going to give it the benifit of the doubt and try another class there on Thursday. The second one was pretty good, but membership prices are quite high. Still, I think I can justify the extra money if the classes are good. Also, my last instructor has moved across to that gym so at least I know the quality of instructors is high.

I went to the last aerobics class at my gym tonight (no falling over either), as sadly it is closing down. Really dissapointed as the membership prices were very cheap and the classes were fantastic. I had a chat to one of the instructors and she gave me a two week pass to another gym she works at. So with any luck, it will be a good alternative.
