I work out at Lifetime Fitness! The one by me (in Schaumburg, IL) was actually used last summer to film a Crest commercial (not for whitestrips but "whitening effects" or whatever it is you put on your teeth at night to whiten them...)--just an interesting tid-bit, look for the commercial on tv, its on all the time!

Long Life Fitness. Used to be 24 hours. Not anymore.

Like it tho becasue there arent a lot of people there.

Everyone in San Antonio uses Racquetball & Fitness and if I belonged there I'd never get any workouts completed becasue I'd be chatting the whole time. I hate socializing at the gym. I'm there to workout, not make friends. I already have those. I dotn need a spotter becasue I have a trainer. If I want to chat, I can do it with him.

WOW is where I go. It used to be a Bally's, and it is now under construction to get rid of some Bally's stuff, like their pool. It's laid back, although I think some Tufts students may go there during the school year.

I go to the YMCA, I love it there. There are a lot of locations around Lexington & from anywhere that I am (work, home, etc) I can reach one in about 5 minutes.

Evolution by Yoga is where I got a membership to. My hubby has a Ballys membership so I may start going there to run on the threadmill and use there other machines. Lately Ive been doing a lot of running outside. We have a awesome metropark practically in the backyard so its nice to run and jog there, you see a ton of deer and animals so its very serene. We are thinking of taking up bike riding too.

This is not a little room with a couple of tread mills.

Lots of machines, weights, indoor and outdoor pool. hot tub, sauna, etc.
I have the same. The machines are a little older but it's still a full gym and it's free, so I don't mind.

Spectrum Club. It's owned by Racquetball & Fitness here in San Antonio but it is much nicer than R & F. My husband and I are like in the lowest income bracket there! We have worked out next to Congressmen. It is a great place! And I should go use my expensive membership there right now. Ta ta.

My boy Tony works at that Gym. Ever see a really big black personal trainer there, thats him. He usually hangs out with these two blonde personal trainer chicks that work there too. How many are there in O-town?





As for me....Golds Gym. There's a bunch of guys who've done a lot of juice at my gym and being next to them makes me look smaller, but it gives me motivation. Some of those guys have been doing juice for 15 years, are in their 40's and still doing Ultimate Fighting Champion stuff. Those guys are motivation. Its just sometimes I get pissed at all the geeky people and couples who come in around 5:30-8:00pm and they really dont know how to work out so they take forever to do a set and I'm getting tired of them. I'm thinking about changing to Bailey's.

Rockwell Recreation (my husband's company's fitness center.) It's okay. I only get there once a week because I usually work out outside since it's nice.

And I'd much rather work out by myself than with someone. I hate working out with my husband because he talks to everyone and then complains how he doesn't get a good workout in. I'm like dude, you're the one who did football and track for 14 million years, you know the workouts. Shut your yap and lift already.
