Great Workout :]

Yesterday I finally got my new gym membership and it was amazing!  Out of the three gyms in my town I like Solano Athletic Club the best. The Dover location has a great indoor pool and aqua aerobic classes and the Holiday site has a secluded workout area, a lot of strength training machines and racket ball courts! 24 hour fitness has great hours but I don't like how it is so open up front and the classes aren't that diverse, I just feel uncomfortable there. The enrollment fee for one club access is $77.97 and the monthly fee is 33.99.  That is a little bit cheaper then Solano Athletic but I want to feel comfortable because I know if I don't feel comfortable then I wont go that often.  The great thing about if I went to 24 hour is that it is open 24 hours which would be great with my work schedule because I don't get off work until 9:15 most days but right now not until 11:15, but honesty I am not going to even want to work out after work that late.  Then there is Lady fitness.  This is a very small gym and it doesn't have a swimming pool. Swimming to me is a great workout and wonderful for when my muscles are sore from the intense training.  The other thing is that it is all females, this is great if you hate the provocative stares from Dinosaurs and the complete male species. I want to be able to work out with my boyfriend (I am now considering putting him on my membership).
Well anyways I had a great experience getting my gym membership the other day. In the end I didn't pay a cent!  Since I am a student I pay $35 a month while regular price is $45. It is the holiday season so the gym has a few deals going on

  1. If you donate a few cans of food you do not have to pay the enrollment fee so I brought a big ol' bag of canned food for them.
  2. Because I am a returning member they had this deal now that I can get the first month for FREE. So I am now not going to be charged until January 5th.    
  3. This is an all the time thing but it is still wonderful, I get 2 1hour sessions with a personal trainer.
  4.  
    I then worked out for an hour, I mean why not I just got it might as well start off on a good foot.  I biked 6 miles and ran on the elliptical for 1 and a half miles.  The elliptical is my favorite exercise machine, it just feels so great! The bike makes you feel like you are not working out the rest of your body and for me my legs are already in great condition.My stomach and my flabby arms are the problem areas.
