    I kinda love everything about my gym. I'm a little spoiled (I go to Lifetime Fitness).

    I love:

    The steam room
    The yoga studio
    All the classes they offer (tonight is Cardio Kickboxing!)
    The amazing children's center that takes the kids to climb on the rock wall on Wednesdays!
    The multiple swimming pools
    The cafe
    The spa
    The fact that I NEVER have to wait for a piece of cardio equipment because they have about a million treadmills

    AND they do birthday parties for kids---totally having my son's birthday party there in November, the kids can go swimming in the indoor pool with a water slide!

    I go to Lifetime, too, and I love it for all the reasons you listed. Plus, my hot PT, so bonus!

    this is going to sound so bad but pretty much all the attention i get. i figure if all eyes are on me when i'm at the gym all sweaty and in work out clothes, with tons of fit girls around me, i must be doing something right.:blushing:

    I clearly need to get out more :(

    I go to the YMCA - no frills. Still love it though.

    1. The HOT showers. Our water doesn't get hot where I live.
    2. It's just a few minutes bike ride from where I work and live (university campus). Very convenient.
    3. Cheap $20/month fee

    I'm not the only fat girl there!

    I do a step class every wednesday and the instructor is AWESOME and is encouraging and supportive of my goals... she knows everyone in class by name and makes the new people feel welcomed

    Its not the flashest of central London gyms, but the staff are great, the clientelle is good and in the main are there to work out hard, and they wash my kit for me every day. I have never come across another gym that will wash your kit, and I hate having to lug kit around with me all day, so for this alone I will never cross over the road and join the flash new Virgin gym.

    1) there's a pool.
    2) a decent selection of free weights.
    3) they don't get mad when I drop the weights.
    4) It's open late.
    5) most the people are friendly.

    I love the people that pop in that haven't seen me in a while and go, "Wow! You look great! How much weight have you lost?" Keeps me motivated.

    I love my home gym.

    I have a (FREE) treadmill, loaded with extra goodies (fan, programs, heart rate monitor so on and so forth)! I have my stair stepper, free weights, TV & XBOX & various workout videos.

    My kids clear the room when it is my time and I can blast my ipod, watch my DVR shows and sweat my booty off.
    I also have a dog who thinks I am playing with him when I am doing jumping jacks, kickbacks etc. It is funny, he jumps with me and he gets some fitness in too.

    All in the comfort of my home.

    I can go in and punch stuff and there is always someone there willing to show me how to better punch stuff.

    I love that it has mirrors everywhere so I can check my makeup.

    Just kidding (well, sort of).

    Actually, I love that it's never crowded, and that I'm the only one who ever seems to use the squat rack. And that there usually isn't anyone around to laugh at me when I fall off the Swiss ball.

    Also, I love the crazy old weightlifting woman who seems to live there (though she clearly leaves at some point to go tan) and talks loudly to herself (curses mainly) as she trains.

    Mine is cheap and I love the hot chick that uses the thigh machine wearing loose shorts and no panties every time I use the shoulder press machine. And she's shaved! They really should position it the other way for pervs like me, but I'm not saying a thing. Hey, if she wants to show it, I'll be her audience.
