Reply #17: LOVE the gym!

[davsand]

Well, I'm lying here--I like how I feel because I"m exercising and going to the gym. I freaking HATE having to work out but I know I need to because I am so sedentary otherwise. (No, I am not addicted to the gym--I'm pretty damn sure I can quit ANY time I want.)

My gym membership is with a local chain that is peculiar to Illinois an Northern Indiana. I like them ok, but it is low to no-frills. TINY little lockers, you take your own towels and a rather small locker room. No pool, no hot tub, no juice bar--but they do have the equipment I want and usually I can walk in and climb on whatever machine I want to start out on.

I spend about 15-20 minutes on the elliptical trainer then about 10 minutes on the treadmill and work out my upper arms with free weights and the other weight machines in between. (I can't STAND those flappy upper arms I have!)

Have you talked to the local consumer affairs people about the gyms? The Better Business Bureau? Maybe they would offer some info if there was anybody that had horrible contracts or deceptive practices...


Hang in there!
