Hey Everyone,
I'm so excited -- I just joined a gym for the first time in my life! Hopefully I'll be disciplined enough to go. They are so expensive here in NYC -- Most require a down payment of at least 100 dollars, and then 65 a month. I cannot afford that. But Bally's Total Fitness has a new promotion that is 19 down, and 19 a month. The catch is that you can only go 3 days a week (I chose tues, thurs, sat), but to be honest I can't imagine I'd ever go to a gym more than three days a week. You can also only go to the one gym where you sign up (other plans let you go to any Bally's in the US and Canada), but again that is a restriction I can live with. My best friend and I both signed up for the same membership, so hopefully we can motivate each other to go all the time. I don't really want to lose much weight, though dropping 5 or 8 pounds would be awesome -- I mostly want to tone up and just feel more fit. So, we'll see. I am pretty excited about this whole thing. My friend who I signed up with is a skinny little twig and is actually trying to look less scrawny, so it's kind of fun that we have different goals, so we are not in competition / comparing ourselves with each other. The gym is kind of no-frills but I don't need a lot of fancy stuff. I am so excited -- just had to share it with you all!
Any tips for just starting out? I've always been physically active but I've never belonged to a gym before (except for one summer like 6 years ago), so I don't really know where to start! I am thinking of paying the 35 dollars for one personal training session, just to get kind of a game plan.
Anyway, that's it
