Get a gym membership

My friend has a guest pass to the JCC and she’s gonna let me use it sometime. I’m not Jewish, but neither is she, so I guess it doesn’t matter that it’s the JCC. Anyways, I’m 14 and the memberships are like $35 a month I think.. I’ll see if it’s worth it. I’d love to start exercising at least three times a week. Right now, all I do is gym class at school and an occasional 20-minute workout on the stationary bike in my basement.

Oh, and the JCC has saunas… a little bonus. :)

Tomorrow, my dad and I are taking our first step towards getting a gym membership. We’re going to go tour the YMCA in town tomorrow… compared to other gyms, it has a pool AND it’s less than a 1/2 mile from home. Hopefully it will seem like a great place to work out, or at least it will inspire us to tour somewhere else in town. Can’t wait!

I’ve got this one in the bag. I’m starting a seven day trial, tomorrow, at this place right next to work, and I’m pretty sold on working out there. The enrollment fee is pretty steep $129, but we can split it if multiple people enroll at once, and I’ve already got one coworker who’s going to enroll with me. After that it’s just $30 a month, and there aren’t any contracts, so then next time this thing is updated, I should be marking it as “done.”

but it’s the stick-with-it-ness that counts.

This is a goal I gave up on early last year, but then I joined the MAA in March. In December I moved away. I am looking forward to finding a similar gym here in Copenhagen.

This is really a stepping stone goal, and hopefully I can accomplish it this week. I have a friend who works at a gym, and she claims she can help me get a membership on the cheap. The gym I’m looking at is a $129 membership fee and then $29 a month fee. I don’t know if I’m willing to pay that large of a fee just for membership, but hopefully I can get some sort of deal. Once this goal is accomplished I will set goals for weight loss/exercise routines.

Since one of my other goals (re: working out 5 times a day) really isn’t happening at this point, I’m going to change two elements to make the process easier:

1. Find a friend with a similar goal (done!)
2. Get a gym membership

Since going away to school, I’ve found it difficult to get any exercise at all… my dorm room is too small to move around freely in, and my campus is downtown so it’s difficult to go for impromptu jogs.

My friend and I are going to join the U’s gym in January and start going together… we’ll be able to motivate one another, and the gym is right on campus so it won’t take a lot of effort to go.

I want to start going to the gym everyday maybe 2 times a day. I would love a place to go everyday to escape in a world where no one can touch me, bother me, control me or judge me. I want to run my stress out and focus on my possibility of being the fit skinny woman i have always wanted to be!

has a membership to Anytime Fitness.
so i went with her and got a 7 day trial pass thing. and that place is so nice!!! like..tv’s on every machine and stuff. its soo cool. but its uber expensive! like 40 or 50 dollars a month…
not good for a teenager.. :S
lol so i don’t think this is gonna get accomplished anytime soon. even if i go to a cheaper gym. i dunno. but i would love to have a gym membership! for reals. i love gyms. and working out. :)

I want a gym membership! Every time I get one, I start out really good, then I don’t go. I want to get one again, but I need the funds. Why are they so expensive (especially the good ones?)

My boyfriend and I just joined 24 hour fitness…you don’t have to sign a contract. It’s just month to month. We’re going to try and work out at least twice a week. It’s super boring at the gym though…it’s nice having a friend around but you can’t really talk because you’re panting. Bring an iPod…and your own little towel to wipe things off haha.
