Three's a Crowd

I’m by no means a gym rat. I wish I was one of those girls who liked getting up at 5 a.m. to go to the gym, but I’m not. At best, I work out four days each week and it’s typically right after work.

The past couple of weeks, my mom and sisters have been talking a lot about Lifetime Fitness (LTF). I used to be a member (when it was Northwest club), but I quit when they raised my rates to over $65. I couldn’t justify spending that much each month when I rarely visited the gym. After quitting Life Time, I decided to join Any Time Fitness. (ATF) I’ve belonged to ATF for the past 3 years, and I was pretty happy with it. It was convenient, there were personal t.v.’s at every machine, etc.

When I moved to Minneapolis, ATF wasn’t so convenient. The nearest ATF is about 4 miles from my house, but its ghetto. It’s definitely not as nice as the Any Time I used to go to. While still belonging to ATF, I decided to also join Edinborough, which is near my office. It’s a tiny place, but offers a pool and its yearly membership was discounted for tenants of nearby buildings.

Despite belonging to two separate gyms, I decided to add another gym to the mix this past week, and re-joined LTF. I’m hoping to quit ATF by the end of this month.

I think LTF will be a good place for me to kick my workouts in high gear. With a wedding coming up, I’m hoping to get in the best shape possible before I put on that white dress and walk down the aisle.

By putting this in writing, I’m hoping that I make the most of my membership and go at least 5-6 times a week. Wish me luck!
