dancerjodiI decided to change my original plan and find a gym closer to home (rather than work). I'm generally a morning person so I don't have an issue getting up a little earlier than usual but to get to a gym out in the Malden area, workout, shower and get to work I'd need to leave REALLY early. I'll still be leaving early so I can get to work by 7:30 and leave by 3:30 so I'll be able to avoid major traffic, but then I can hit a gym near home after work. This will also allow me to go on the weekends, too.
After looking around online and taking a tour I signed up at http://www.suburbanathletic.com/suburban.html . They cost a bit more than the Fitcorp that I was a member at but they have way much more (like a pool, and hot tub, and better equipment, and more classes). My first meeting with the trainer is on Saturday morning but I'm hoping to check out a class or something tomorrow and possibly on Friday (between taking the cat to the vet for his multiple BG curve tests).
A part of the whole trainer visit will include an evaluation and its been a while since I've had one of those. I know I've gained about 4 pounds since my normal weight (yeah its only 4 pounds, but it still bugs me) and since I haven't been lifting in a while I'm guessing my fat % may have gone up. We shall see.
I'm REALLY looking forward to being more active again :) This scheduling will allow me to come home from work and either hit the gym and use machines/weights, or go home for a bit for homework/dinner prep, *then* head to a class, and return from the class at around the time B gets home from work anyway to join him for dinner.
Whoot!
The only downside is that though they do offer pilates (which not many gyms do) it costs extra to take those classes (but all other classes are included in the cost of membership).
