| Bye, Gold's! |

I canceled my membership, and I didn't even work out there once. After thinking about it, the Gold's wouldn't work well for my workouts right now. They're not officially open yet so their hours are short, and they have no free weights. And I did not like being duped by the sales guy! I told him I wanted a trial pass. I told him I worked out with free weights. He duped me into getting a current "great deal" and he wowed me by showing me machines after I told him I didn't use them. I told him I did little cardio as well but he got me to try some equipment. Their equipment is VERY nice...I'd love to work out with some cardio equipment and watch my podcasts. But I can't justify the cost, and especially for something that is not meeting all my needs. I also need to cut off my trainer in order to save money. She has taught me a lot, which is why I want to keep seeing her. But at the same time, I'm not sure she is pushing me to be the athlete I could be -- despite me telling her what my goals are!

I'll just stick with my current gym and do what I always do. I also got a TRX system which I can use at home. I could probably check out a rec centre gym if I wanted too, even for a drop in!

*sigh* I think canceling my Gold's Gym membership was probably the best thing to do.

What kind of things does your trainer have you doing?

My trainer and I do a lot of core stuff and strengthening exercises, but it's not so hardcore where I could pass for a fitness competitor! Right now, I have her showing me exercises on the TRX system. Actually, yesterday's workout was good. I am still feeling it in my legs!
