litheraThere is a gym in the building I work in.
I went in there today to look around.
The people were nice and friendly. There wasn't any pressure to make a sale. All of the official workouts are with a trainer. You can schedule workouts on-line. Anytime I felt like it, I could go down and grab some time on a cardio machine and they'll make recommendations about what would be best for you but get out of your way and let you do your thing. The temperature in there was cool but not cold, which was really nice. There are showers and changing rooms. The gym is focused on intense but short workouts to fit better into your day.
This sounds like a great place for me because:
- I hate the atmosphere in most gyms.
- I hate working out alone.
- I get very impatient very quickly if I don't see results.
Unfortunately, this gym is also crazy expensive. Having every workout be with a trainer is the reason for that and I can /probably/ afford it. (I'll really know that after my review this week.) I'm tempted but money is a huge deal here. Of course, as Josh said, if I knew it would work, I would pay a hell of a lot more than they're asking.
Hrm.

Date: 2008-04-08 03:45 pm (UTC)I'm still weighing cost versus benefit in my head. I need to get back into the gym. I need to do it in a place which will help me keep going to the gym once I start. I don't know if this place will be it or not. I'm waiting until after my review to see what money will look like and then go from there.
