Sometime last year, this guy at 24 Hour Fitness started hassling me. Nothing bad. He was an employee trying to make a sale. I went to one free personal training session, missed the second due to testing, and never went back. To the gym, I mean. I *hated* 24 hour fitness. It was too crowded, too noisy. The classes were never convientent and full of idiots. I couldn't stand half the teachers. Any time that I could go, the gym was packed. The pool was like a hot tub and dirty. It was just unpleasant.

So I stopped going to the gym completely until January when I got all depressed. There's an all women's gym nearby that I joined, and while i haven't been going regularly, I've been going enough. I was hoping this summer to start getting a better routine.

I came home to a letter today. They're closing all the gyms except one that's forty mintues away. To make up for the inconvience, they set up a deal with 24 hour fitness. They'll honor my contract, maybe offer other stuff, but I can still go.

*screams*

I don't *want* to go to that fucking gym. So now I'm out a gym, and don't know what to do. There's LA fitness down the street, but I'll run into the same problems as 24 hour. I can't go to any of these 30-mintue women gym things around because unless I decide to become an actress, I can't afford to lose any weight. I'm just so ... pissed.

What I'd almost like to do martial arts somewhere. But it has to be reasonably priced; last time I checked out a place (not what i wanted, but still) it was like 50 dollars a class. I'd rather enroll monthly or something.

Sucks, sucks, sucks.

Do yoga with me! It doesn't have all that crap like mirrors and pounding hip hop and lycra and clanking machines. It's challenging but completely rewarding.

And it's what, 15 dollars a class? Besides, I'm really not all that motivated to do yoga. Thanks anyway.

I belong to one of those 30 minute women only gyms, and I'm not trying to lose weight, just to stay healthy. If the people there know what they're doing, they'll help you reach your fitness goals, even if they are totally unrelated to weight loss.
