Gym Memberships



Becoming a member at a local gym is always a good start to a healthier, more fit lifestyle. Where I live there are at least four gyms I can think of. There are not too many excuses for not going because at the YMCA there is a babysitting service along with many other services while you work out. At the YMCA they offer a number of different classes during all times of the day. There is spinning almost every hour of the day as well as many forms of yoga, pilates, and many other group fitness classes. Many gyms also offer self-defense, aquatic, and wellness programs. Most gyms are very affordable, some insurances will even pay for a partial membership. If you are interested in joining a gym most have a free- trial week membership so you can try out the gym and after if you like it you can join. If you are looking to become a member of a gym here are a few:

  1. I am a member at the Midtown Athletic Club and i absolutely love it! There are 2 pools, tennis,basketball, and raquet ball courts, and many more activities. I love to go and workout in the gym area and possibly even use the spa facilities. Sometimes i even go just to jacuzzi or shower. I absolutely love going to they gym its such a relaxing place to get away!

  2. I agree that being a member of a gym can lead to a healthier lifestyle, but the member has to be willing to put in the time. If a member needs extra motivation, I believe the classes are an excellent way to keep one on track and pressures one to reach their limit in a workout.

  3. I agree that gym memberships will enhance your fit lifestyle. I am currently going to the Athletic Club and it is wonderful! There's absolutely everything a gym can offer you to maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, obtaining a membership may be expensive. My advice is that if you are planning on becoming a member, especially of the Midtown Athletic Club, ask for a free trial at first. They will be nice enough and give you a week or two free trial. At the moment, I have a month-free trial because my dad became an official member. This helps! You can still enjoy the benefits of the club even if you are on your free trial. TRY IT..you won't regret it!
