I am trying something a little different. I took the plunge and canceled my gym membership last week! It was really difficult because I was really comfortable there. It was a block from my apartment and I was a member for 4 years!
So why exactly did I do it?
I realized that I wasn't using the gym to its full potential like I used too. I used to take classes at my gym, but I have been taking these amazing classes other places and paying additional money, therefore wasting my membership. When I got back from vacation I decided that I wanted to kick myself into high gear and try to lose a certain amount of weight by Thanksgiving! So I set the goal and gathered up the classes that I received for my birthday. On the days that I don't have a class I am going to do my best to run, especially since I am in the process of training for my 10K which is this SUNDAY and my half marathon. Once I have completed my half marathon, then I will most likely join Blink fitness which is a great no fuss gym owned by equinox a few blocks from my place and its only $20 a month.
So what I would like to do is review the classes as I take them in case you have been thinking about trying anything new. There are these really great sites that combine all of these boutique class venues on to one site and allow you to try different things for great prices! I use Fitist and Classtivity. I think this will help me remember what I have done and keep me on track. Eyes on the prize!
MY CLASSES:
1 WEEK @ CRUNCH GYM
1 WEEK @ EXHALE
11 CLASSES FITIST
10 CLASSES CLASSTIVITY
Today, 6:30am, I used my 30 day classtivity passport at Uplift. I honestly had no idea what to expect. I really enjoyed the class because we did tabata's and circuits that I rarely like to do on my own. It helped to have the energetic teacher push me and guide me through the motions. There were probably about 8 other people in the class, and I found the intimate small setting highly beneficial. Especially for things such as planks where I usually feel like my back is straight as a board, but when she told me to lower about another inch or so it made all the difference in the world. The class was also a mix of strength training with free weights and my own body resistance and cardio. I would most definitely recommend this class.
After the class, I received an email from the studio to receive 10% of a 5, 10, or 20 class package. So awesome. I think I am pretty good on classes for the moment, but what a great perk.
