G-Y-M

I'm planning to check out two local gyms after the holidays are through. Both have pools and both have classes that include yoga, but most importantly both have child care. I'd been reluctant to join a gym before, but I think my son is old enough now (nearly 2) that I'd be comfortable leaving him in the gym's childcare. Actually, I think it might

LA Fitness is $10/mo. for child care. I did not like their yoga schedule at all. Also, it was hard to get any pool time because of all the aquatics classes.

I like spinning and kickboxing in addition to yoga, but I also like the other classes that incorporate cardio and abs work. And looking at the other place's pool schedule, I don't think it'd be any easier to swim there. At least not for me, since I'd be going after 4pm. :-\

I'm going to still check them both out though. I like the idea of the sauna and spa at the newer gym. I don't know what they have at the other one.

Hehe, I'm far too uncoordinated for anything that moves faster than yoga. But I was looking mostly for morning classes because I don't like working out in the afternoon or risking having to drive after dark (which this time a year a 4pm class would require) so you might be right about the schedule working out for you. Like I said, I liked the place, but they have sleazy business practices and I wouldn't go back. Gold's in Crofton was my favorite by far, but it doesn't have a pool and it's much too long a drive.

Yeah, that is a long drive. I don't think driving to LAF would be bad for me because I can take Dairy Farm Rd. to Waugh Chapel which cuts out all the crazy 3 traffic. I'm not sure how I'd go to get to the SPRC place, but I assume a similar way as going to the farm maybe.

It struck me after driving to Target in the snow yesterday that the snowy season might keep me home on days I'd want to go to the gym. :-\ I really should have brought my bike inside before it decided to snow.
