Gyms
05.16.09 (9:22 am)   [edit]

There's a new Gold's Gym in my city, and I wanted to get a tour and see about getting a trial pass. How could I have forgotten that was my goal? Instead, I signed up for a 2 year membership. The only reason why I did was that the guy said I could cancel within 10 days and not be penalized.

Anyway, the gym is REALLY nice...REALLY REALLY nice. The issue is the price. I would be paying more than twice what I am paying now. What I am paying right now is DIRT CHEAP. My current gym is okay. The equipment isn't horrible. Their demographic are the women and mothers who just want to get in some fitness. They could use more strength equipment. Basically, what my current gym offers is just passable for my fitness goals. What keeps me going there is the price. That is it.

My new building will have a gym, too. I don't know what kind of equipment they will have but I am pretty sure it won't be the state of the art stuff like at Gold's. The Gold's is huge and has a lot of amenities...pro shop, sushi bar...infrared sauna...

I like my current gym because of the locations as well...

I guess if I think about it and use all the amenities at Gold's Gym, I will be getting my money's worth.

If I can find 2 other people to sign up within 10 days, we can all get the corporate rate, too. 

*sigh* I don't need a Gold's Gym membership, but my current gym is just barely passable in terms of service and equipment. In fact, my gym is now going to be closed on stat holidays! My current gym is also very close and convenient for me (both by my place and Mr. Nick's). Gold's will require a bit more traveling time, but their hours are a lot longer, too!

I will have to cancel one of the memberships -- but which one?

What does your Magic 8 ball tell you? I don't even understand why gym memberships are necessary. You can play sports, jog and do exercises in your home.

My pendulum suggested I not have joined Gold's Gym. I need to the gym for the weights. If I want to gain the kind of strength I want, I will need weights! I was thinking about my tour at the gym. The sales guy asked me what I did at the gym. I told him free weights. But he showed me and tried to wow me with the weight machines and the cardio equipment. Now that I think about it, I can't even remember if the free weights were set up. The gym is brand new and is still getting their renos done.

The hard part would be moving that exercise equipment home!

Buying your own weights would save you money.

The thing with weights is that once you get stronger, you leave the lighter weights behind! If I had a garage, I'd have my own gym...or some ground level room. BWAHAHA I don't think my neighbours below me would enjoy my workouts!
