exercise outside of the home

[Joannafit]

a gold's gym has just moved in. they are offering great specials. does anyone have any experience with gold's. i am interested for a few reasons...such as bosu and rebounder classes, lat pull down, leg press and a few other machines i miss out on being a home exerciser! a little bit of cross training never hurt anyone!!

Try and see if you can go 5 or 10 times before you make a major commitment. I thought I needed machines a gym had, but I really get more out of home exercise. Fortunately I only had to spend $130 ("Ladies Pay what you weigh special") to find out.

Maybe if I had a workout partner or classes, I would enjoy it more. This gym has no classes. Just machines, cardio machines, and lots of free weights and Olympic weights. Lots of square footage and mirrors all around.

Nice people, but I just get too much more enjoyment from Cathe's videos.

I highly recommend a gym. You can still do Cathe videos and enjoy a gym also. Taking classes makes the difference for me along with other amenities I get like indoor rock climbing and massage. Also there is no way I can get a weight workout at home like the one I get at the gym. I could never have enough heavy weight.I really am very lucky as our local health club, called Big Vanilla, is really quite awesome and better than most.
Gold's has always had the rep of being a musclehead kind of place so just make sure you check it over well. Get an idea of what kind of people go there.
Good luck.
