Thanks for the encouragement RetroFit...I am coming from Virginia, so Orlando is actually not that close. I go there 3-4 times a year though, so it seems like my backyard sometimes.
I am pretty well-educated on fitness/healthy lifestyle stuff, so I'm not too worried about my knowledge base there. I just typically avoid group work-out situations because I don't like to look like a sweaty idiot in public. Also, I have done things before where there are big contingents of people who knew each other from online before-hand and I felt like there were all these inside jokes and stuff that I didn't understand. I'm also kind of an introvert...
Regardless, I just signed up for the RT today, so I guess I'm going!
